For therapy to be successful, patients must be committed, insightful, and engaged in the process. I strive to make a genuine connection with my patients because I believe people do well when they feel a connection with their therapist. That’s more important than any counseling approach we can use.

I began my counseling profession after hitting bottom in 2001. Coming to terms with my past, littered by multiple addictions and trauma, was not easy. But throughout my own journey of healing, God opened doors I never thought possible. Serving 26 years in the military, I advocated for recovery prior to joining the private sector. I understand the complex intersection of culture, faith, and sexuality. Because of my own journey into healing, I have deep compassion for people in the grips of addiction.

I believe meaningful change happens when an individual prioritizes themselves and that everyone holds the capacity to not only change, but to flourish. Therapy is an amazing way to start taking steps to heal and grow into the healthiest version of yourself. I utilize evidence-based practices and tailor my approach based on the needs of the client. Together we work collaboratively to identify barriers and find healthy ways to cope with distress or mental health concerns. I will begin this process by being your biggest advocate, however, my end-goal is to make sure that you become that person for yourself.

Strength-Based Therapists
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.
