NARRATIVE THERAPY
We are not the stories others tell of us and yet we can often be tricked by them and suffer with feelings of inadequacy, shame, anxiety and stuckness. In Narrative Conversations we reflect on the stories that are currently shaping our reality and the problems they have invited into our lives. With curiousity, care and deep attention to the the experience of a living, knowing body, we learn to replace criticism and judgment with acceptance, appreciation and affection; establish more clear and compassionate ways of communicating; replace deeply ingrained habits with dynamic awareness and deeper connection.
In this process of creating new stories, my hope is that you to find a more compassionate understanding of your own feelings, beliefs and needs which translates into perspectives and behaviours that enliven your agency, align with your values, and create more possibilities for your relationships and life.
Therapy has been invaluable in my own life and has helped me learn how to work through adversity and stuckness, to find and recognize my own skills and abilities, and to be able to move forward in difficult times. These experiences inform what I hope to bring to my therapeutic relationships.

We become who we are through relationship.
Love is not a permanent state of enthusiasm. Couples Therapy is for you if you are concerned about your relationship, if you are experiencing disconnection, anger, loneliness or in transition. Our sessions are about developing practical strategies and tools to reestablish healthy communication and connection so that you can successfully work through cycles of harmony and disharmony with effective repair mechanisms.
With Couples I am informed by the Gottman Method which has identified patterns of harms to relationships and what helps strengthen couples and families.
