Our lives are stories in a book

Story is at the core of who we are.

As children, we listened to stories, made up stories, and act out stories. As we grow, stories remain at our core.

Our bodies and minds are always looking for clues for safety. When we experiences something unsafe, it greatly impacts our story.

The stories inside us dictate how we show-up; in our families, our friendships, and our work. With curiosity, we can learn more about the stories inside us. Some stories serve us well. Others we will need to write new stories so we can flourish.

StoryWorks encompasses the practice of knowing and living your story. Counseling, play therapy, classes, and all resources are grounded in the work of story.

When we work together, you will get the tools to write and live your best story.
