Narrative Therapy

Narrative therapy is an integral part of the work I do with people. As humans, we "make meaning" of everything. Stories, told and re-told through language and behavior, consciously and unconsciously communicated intergenerationally in our families of origin, become the lens through which we view the world. The perpetuation of the family "story" is often the legacy of unhappiness, addictions, and other maladaptive behaviors and beliefs. Fortunately, the narrative is alive and we have the opportunity, often taking place through the therapeutic process, to weave new meaning into an old story, adding what is missing while also shifting beliefs that no longer serve us. I love this dynamic process and it is a journey of change unlike any other. Watching clients discover and embrace what has true heart and meaning for them can only be likened to birth. Through the darkness....into the light.
