Narrative Therapy

Storytelling is a central aspect of ​being human. It’s how we assign ​meaning to our own experience and ​how we make sense of the world. ​When we’ve been deeply hurt―often ​during childhood―it's common to ​unconsciously develop negative self-narratives. In this way, the stories that ​we tell ourselves about ourselves are ​powerful. They shape our sense of ​self-identity, influence our ​relationships with others, and dictate ​how we move through the world.

Though it seems counterintuitive, these stories are usually our head and heart’s way ​of protecting ourselves. When our fundamental needs go unmet, we adapt not only to secure the ​love and connection we innately crave, but to survive. In doing so, we may slowly mute and even ​extinguish who we really are at our core.

After many years of hiding away my true self, I came to the field of psychotherapy following a ​decade-long career as a music journalist, and as part of my journey to fully embody my own story ​as a woman.

For this reason, I am passionate about helping women re-author their stories by rediscovering their core identities and leaning into consistent acts of authentic self-expression.
