Life can be very challenging and demanding at times and can often leave us feeling confused, lonely, depressed, and anxious. I believe that addressing our mental health and emotional well being is as important as taking care of our physical health.

I specialize in providing integrated EMDR to LGBTQ+ youth and adults, who are struggling with complex trauma and feeling disturbed by painful past experiences. They most often feel like they are a burden, incompetent or often find themselves endlessly ruminating over worst case scenarios. Therapy is initiated when they realize that they are ready to stop spiraling and begin experiencing a sense of grounding and connection. There has been an acknowledgement that they do not have to stay stuck. Their desire to feel confident, secure, and live authentically outweighs the fear to work through their pain.

Sometimes on this journey of life, we get in our own way and aren't ready to change until things get hairy! This can translate into a mindset or habit that no longer serves us. Does it seem like no matter how hard you try, there's a feeling of doom and gloom? Maybe you excel in one area of life but feel like you're far behind in another. Maybe there are personal goals that seem unobtainable due to feeling stuck. I have helped Clients get to the other side of the progress they want to see. Whether you're in the pre-contemplative or the action phase of change, I provide guidance and support while holding you accountable to your goals.

I believe in the ability of people to heal from difficult events and to make positive changes in their lives. Therapy (individual, group, couples) needs to be a safe place where a client can feel supported in addressing their issues. I have seen how a psychotherapeutic relationship, in combination with other relationships in the client's life, can aid in those processes of healing and self-change. As a therapist I offer insight and other assistance where helpful but the focus remains on the client, the client's experience and the meanings that she/he/they draw from that experience.

I help clients with behavioral and relationship issues caused by trauma, anxiety, depression, anger, obsessive-compulsive disorder, stress, or substance use/misuse. I create a calm, welcoming and comfortable environment for my clients to foster the type of therapeutic alliance which encourages them to share their feelings and thoughts openly. For me, the work accomplished during sessions should provide clients with the skills they can then exercise outside of sessions. My approach is based on a holistic view of the client enriched by a trauma-informed care lens.

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.
