Our identities are informed by the stories and cultural understanding of our lives. I have spent my graduate student years researching, practicing, and presenting on narrative theory and narrative therapy.

Through narrative therapy, we can visit the many experiences and conclusions that have been storied, assess their messages, and empower your expertise of Self.
