I draw from evidence-based cognitive-behavioral and strength-based counseling techniques to equip you with the tools necessary to make meaningful changes and lead a more satisfying and purposeful life.
Do you feel like you’ve lost your sense of direction and are unsure which way to turn? You might feel like you’ve lost sight of who you are and wonder how you ended up here. In the past, you’ve navigated roadblocks and detours, always finding your way back to yourself. But lately, life has become overwhelming. You find yourself trapped in a cycle of stress and anxiety, with little things piling up and your reactions becoming both unhealthy and unfamiliar. I understand how disorienting this can be. Feeling uncertain about which way to turn can bring you to a standstill.

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.
