Forming a family can be difficult business and new parents need a lot of support, validation, and education. You may be feeling hopeless, sad, angry, and anxious in a time in which you are "supposed" to be anything but. You may be feeling disconnected from your partner or like a stranger in your own skin. Postpartum mood disorders can look different among people - you might not be sure if you have one, but you know that this is not you. You are not alone! I am an allied licensed marriage and family therapist specializing in perinatal mental health in individuals.

All of us deserve to enjoy what life has to offer to the fullest extent possible. Many of us experience that journey as compromised by obstacles that threaten to rob us of our potential. These blockages may come from events in the present such as COVID-19, loss of a loved one or a deteriorating relationship, or they may result from earlier events that have left wounds and scars unhealed. I have been engaged in clinical work, helping people navigate difficulties, heal trauma, restore their lives to wholeness. I invite you to let me walk that journey with you

Life often has a way of making you feel overwhelmed and exhausted. It can seem impossible to balance day to day stresses. Sometimes even small roadblocks seem to create feelings of worry or failure. Your own thoughts may make matters feel worse. You may be struggling to achieve goals that always seem just out of your reach or feel like you don’t know where to start.

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.
