I use authenticity, humor, directness, warmth and a strength-based approach to help those I work with build resiliency and self-confidence.
Life isn’t simple, in fact it can be very messy at times, but within that chaos there is always growth. I believe that with every difficulty we face, we improve our own resiliency, learn about ourselves and our reactions to stressors and can make more informed decisions moving forward. I specialize in working with trauma, depression, anxiety, mood instability, adolescent support, sexual abuse, blended families and domestic violence.

Utilizing a strength-based approach and humor, I help clients learn how to regulate their emotions and teach new techniques to help them cope with grief/loss, anxiety and depression.
Life transitions or the loss of a loved one can evoke a range of emotions, such as, fear, sadness and anxiety. Adjustments to change can be an overwhelming experience. My clients tend to be motivated, high functioning individuals who desire to begin a healing process. They are open to learning new healthy communication and coping strategies. I help individuals navigate the process of change with the goal of reestablishing a sense of balance in daily life and hope for the future. I will guide the process toward gaining awareness, offering new perspectives and fresh insights.

You’re feeling disillusioned or trapped and it’s showing up in a loss of motivation, increased anxiety, or outbursts of anger. You've been hurt by a partner, a family member, or maybe even your faith community, and the wound won't heal. You're trying to press on, but the usual ways of coping are no longer serving you well. You're starting to see that your patterns may even be harming you or pushing people away, which only contributes to a feeling of isolation. Sometimes you're overwhelmed with shame or regret. At least part of you wants to get better and experience happiness again, even if another part of you wants to give up.

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.
