Find your balance in life and restore your connection to your purpose. Entering therapy can be both an exciting and challenging time in one’s life. Many people enter the therapeutic process to deal with traumatic experiences, to cope with loss, transitions, and relationship stress. Others just want to discover new ways of dealing with old problems. My practice is here to help guide you through that journey. My therapeutic interventions focus on your relationship with the self, your partner(spouse), family members, children, and your work/vocation.

Do you feel discouraged with daily difficulties? Having trouble navigating what others believe "should be easy?" I believe through a Positive approach, we can uncover some previously unexplored options. I work to match the counseling approach to the individual’s needs, strengths, and styles to address identified therapeutic focus. By tackling faulty thinking, undesirable feelings, and outgrown coping mechanisms you’re able to effectively address the Here and Now.

I often hear, "But other people have it worse," in an attempt to downplay our struggles and make things feel more manageable. While this mindset may be helpful at times, it also minimizes the importance of our current situation and dismisses our feelings. Whatever you are facing, if it's important to you it's also important to me. As a clinician with experience in multiple therapeutic settings, I have treated panic disorders, anxiety, depression, and trauma. I also have a special spot in my heart for grief and loss and earned a certification in Grief Therapy.

Do you ever feel stuck with where you are right now and don't know how to change that? We can imagine our lives in a better place or that change already implemented, but we don't know how to get it started. Sometimes we don't know where to start and need some assistance in that journey. Approaching therapy for the first time can be daunting, but if we treat it as a space where there's a listening ear, reflection, and some guidance towards making a change then it can be lighter.

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.
