If you are reading this, you are very likely feeling anxiety about any number of things in your life and looking for a therapist who can help change that. So here’s an important thing to keep in mind: The therapists whose profile pages you are scrolling through also feel anxiety. No one is immune, it’s part of being human.
My own anxiety is what led me to channel my 25+ years of experience as a writer and editor into my therapy practice and, I think, what makes me good at it. While I initially saw psychotherapy as a career shift, I soon recognized it instead as an extension of a craft I’d been honing all along—an opportunity to apply narrative instincts in ways that help people manage change, both wanted and unwanted. Years of overthinking—and, yes, therapy—have led to a new understanding of the role this discomfort has played in my life, for better and for worse, and how it’s shaped my story.
A narrative therapist’s role is not to give you the answer or the cure, it’s to help you better understand your own story so you can tell it differently. If anxiety has led you to look for support, then it is already doing you a service. Our first meeting will be free of charge, and if we choose to move forward together, we’ll take it from there.
