My Approach

At the heart of how I work is a simple belief - you are the expert on your own life.

We’ll look at patterns, relationships, your past experiences, and the bigger picture of your life. Your identity, your environment, and the spaces you move through all matter here, and all of that is welcome.

Every one of us is carrying a story we didn't fully write.

Through narrative therapy, we discover that you are not the same thing as the story you've been told about yourself. The story is something that got written, by circumstance, by family, by whatever world you grew up navigating. It's not a verdict on who you are. It's a draft, shaped by conditions you didn't choose and often couldn't have changed.

In our work together, we start by getting curious about that story instead of assuming it's simply true. Where did it come from. Who benefited from you believing it. What has it protected you from, and what has it cost you. We look for the moments that don't fit the story, the times you were more capable, more connected, or more yourself than the dominant narrative gives you credit for. Those moments matter. They're proof the story was never the whole picture.

That's the work, practically speaking: separating you from the story long enough to see it clearly, then handing you the pen.
