Introduction

What if I told you therapy could be an adventure? It is a place to understand, build, & reinvent yourself. What possibilities emerge when you know your strengths? What story do you want to write for yourself? If you don’t hold that pen, who does? My intention is to help you explore some of these questions. I am passionate about healthy relationships & providing therapy to individuals, couples & families to support clients in recognizing the beauty of honoring the self within the relationships we hold, & how to work together as a team when your individual experiences meet in challenging ways. Rooted in Narrative Therapy, I recognize everyones' experiences are unique. I will support you to find your strengths & explore your challenges in a nonjudgmental approach to encourage you to write the narrative that best serves your truth & your life. Understanding how our minds work for/against us is just as important as the breaths & steps we take daily. The narratives we build with ourselves & each other can be weaved through our choice of language to create bridges of meaningful understanding and I will challenge you to grow. Are you moving forward? Stuck? Backward? Let’s explore, shall we? If therapy was an adventure where might you like to start? I look forward to joining you in your journey.
