We are often weighed down with feelings of unworthiness, shame or guilt. It takes courage to reach out for support. I am waiting for your call. I invite you to book a free 15-minute consultation with me so we can determine whether the relationship would be a good fit and to answer any questions you may have.

I take a client-centered, strength-based and trauma-informed approach to care, with the goal of helping you clarify and live in alignment with your core values, while discovering the underlying causes keeping you stuck.
Oftentimes our deepest struggles reveal larger questions that we all ask ourselves at some point in life: What is my purpose? Do I have any worth or value? What is the meaning of my life? Does anyone see me? The unpredictability of life can be blindsiding, leaving us feeling empty, lost, overwhelmed, anxious, depressed and discouraged. Whether you have lost a loved one, are feeling burnout, are overwhelmed in a life transition, uncertain about the future, find yourself in the cycle of addiction, or are struggling with emotions that you have never experienced before, this one reality remains the same: change is possible.

How does strength-based therapy work?
During strength-based therapy sessions, the therapist will ask about an individual’s experiences of stress, pain, or trauma with the goal of orienting the client to view themselves as a survivor rather than a victim, and focusing on their strengths rather than on their weaknesses. In framing a client’s personal narrative along these lines, the therapist and client work together to identify existing skills that can be harnessed.
Is strength-based therapy evidence-based?
Strength-based therapy is an evidence-based treatment that has been studied extensively and shown to be effective across domains. The treatment has been found to be particularly effective in helping individuals who are experiencing stress, anxiety, depression, trauma, and other mental health concerns. Strength-based therapy has been used by therapists to help clients for more than 60 years.
How long does strength-based therapy last?
There’s no precise timeline for strength-based therapy. The duration of treatment depends on the individual’s specific needs and goals and the severity of their concerns. Some individuals may find they achieve their therapeutic goals quickly, while others might benefit from ongoing support and guidance in order to continue progressing.
How effective is strength-based therapy?
Clinical research and decades of practice have shown strength-based therapy to be an effective treatment to improve mental health and well-being for many conditions. The treatment can engender a sense of connection and collaboration between the therapist and the individual, fostering a positive therapeutic relationship. For individuals with narcissistic tendencies, strength-based therapy may be less effective, as the focus on the individual’s strengths may undermine the work needed to honestly assess the challenges the individual faces.
