Your Story Matters. Find Your Voice.
A collaborative, narrative-driven approach to therapy, helping you navigate life’s transitions and rediscover your strengths.
AN INTEGRATED APPROACH
Integrating Narrative Therapy & EMDR
Our experiences shape the stories we carry about ourselves. For clients seeking EMDR, I approach EMDR by integrating narrative therapy with EMDR as a way to explore both the meaning of these experiences and their lasting emotional impact.
NARRATIVE THERAPY
Exploring the Stories We Carry
Narrative therapy explores how our experiences, relationships, and larger social contexts shape the stories we tell about ourselves. It invites us to question conclusions that may have become limiting and recognize aspects of our identities that difficult experiences have overshadowed.
EMDR THERAPY
Processing What Still Feels Present
Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) is a structured therapeutic approach that can help people process distressing memories and their associated emotions, beliefs, and physical responses. It may help reduce the emotional intensity that certain experiences continue to carry.
HOW THEY WORK TOGETHER
More Than Processing the Past
Sometimes, we can understand an experience intellectually while continuing to feel its impact emotionally. Narrative therapy helps us explore the meanings we've attached to those experiences, including how they may have shaped our sense of identity, safety, or self-worth. When appropriate, EMDR offers an additional way to work with distressing memories that continue to influence how we feel and respond. Together, these approaches can create space to process what happened while exploring a fuller understanding of who we are beyond it.
NARRATIVE
Explores meaning, identity, and possibility.
Making room for both the impact of our experiences and the stories we want to continue to live.
INTEGRATION
EMDR
Processes distressing memories and their lasting impact.
What we've experienced may shape our story, but it doesn't have to define its entirety.
A COLLABORATIVE PROCESS
An Approach Guided by You.
Not everyone needs EMDR, and no single approach is right for every person. My work is grounded in narrative therapy, with EMDR integrated when it aligns with your experiences, readiness, and therapeutic goals. Our work remains collaborative, attentive to your individual needs, and grounded in the understanding that you are more than any single experience.
