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.
