What is your therapeutic approach?

The short version: I’m a narrative therapist who operates from a feminist therapy framework. Okay, but what does that even mean?

Here’s a little bit about me and how I view therapy (so far**):

• You are the expert of your own story. As a therapist, I do not believe I know more about you than you do. I believe the stories you share with me are an important part of your identity and journey.

• You have the ability (and right) to create a new narrative for yourself. Growing up, there are countless stories and expectations that adults put upon us and I believe we spend our formative years and into adulthood trying to re-author these narratives in a way that feels more congruent to our authentic selves.

• Our social locations inform how we see the world, ourselves, and others. I believe how we understand the world and each other should be with the awareness of how we all, but particularly *DFAB and other minoritized groups, are affected by an oppressive, capitalist and patriarchal society. The truth is that the Patriarchy harms us all. I work from a therapeutic standpoint that collaboratively brainstorms solutions with clients and honors their unique experiences.
