It's hard to admit to yourself the life you are living just doesn't seem like enough anymore. Waking up, you stare into the mirror, and can't help but judge the person looking back. You're realizing that you don't understand yourself, causing the uncertainty of life to settle in. The pain, fear, and struggles from the past have stopped you from living a fully authentic life. You know you're slowly losing the true sense of the person you were meant to be. Life keeps passing by, time keeps ticking and you are stuck on this roller coaster just trying to get off.

I was struggling to cope with a disability, depression, and anger between the ages 16 to 23. I was in a car accident in 1999 that severely damaged my spinal cord and caused me to rely on the use of a wheelchair for the rest of my life. Building a relationship with God helped me to overcome my disability, depression and anger. It also gave me what I needed to live through my daily struggles. The spiritual exercises that have helped me during my process were prayer, meditation, reading scriptures, faith building, forgiveness, gratitude, and discussing my concerns with Christian counselors.

I enjoy working with folks who are expanding their definition of who they are as a person. Personal growth work is meaningful work. I believe the majority of clients I have worked with throughout the years have a very limited opinion of themselves. I want to assist people to move forward in their lives and enjoy the journey! My studies at the Chopra Center with Dr. Chopra, Dr. David Simon and Davidji have expanded my own awareness on how wonderful this life experience can be. Yes, we have bumps in the road but the obstacles do not have to define us. I have studied with Dr. Brian Weiss and I am trained in IMAGO therapy, hypnosis.

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.
