Narrative & Relational Therapy
Rewrite Your Story, Rebuild Connection
What Is Narrative Therapy?
Narrative Therapy centers on the belief that our identities are shaped by the stories we tell about ourselves. Over time, we may internalize problem-focused narratives, like “I’m not enough” or “I just too fragile.” Narrative Therapy helps you externalize these narratives, step into your role as the author of your own life, and discover empowering alternative stories rooted in your values and strengths.
This process allows you to see yourself as separate from the problem and reclaim agency over your life.
How Narrative Work Unfolds
Externalization
We separate you from the problem, placing the problem outside of you. This shift paves the way for curiosity and compassion.
Deconstruction & Re-authoring
Together, we examine the dominant narratives running your life and create space for “unique outcomes,” moments that contradict those limiting stories.
New Storytelling
As we explore your values, strengths, and hopes, we co-create a new narrative that aligns with your true identity, and allows you to live it more fully.
Relational Therapy: Healing Through Connection
Relational Therapy asserts that our patterns are shaped and maintained in relationships. By exploring your interactions with others, and with yourself, we co-create new ways of relating that are grounded in trust, empathy, and honest connection.
​
This approach draws from relational-cultural theory and integrative models (like CBT and psychodynamic care), with research showing meaningful improvements in communication, emotional intimacy, and self-trust.
