Let's be honest. Life can seem hopeless at times. Between the pressures that the world puts on us, and the pressure we put upon ourselves, expectations can feel overwhelming. Am I a good parent? Is my marriage working? Am I getting the most out of my career choices? Why don't I ever have peace in my life? There are also times in our lives when we could use the assistance of a helper. Someone that can help us understand and work through all of our challenges. To be a part of this process is truly an honor. And, as a Mental Health Practitioner, I have had the privilege of helping many individuals, couples and families.

Most people have experienced some type of trauma in their lifetime; however, because we aren’t taught to identify certain situations as “traumatic,” we proceed through life with negative, maladaptive behaviors unknowingly. Anxiety, depression, poor communication skills, self-esteem issues, and anger are potential results. Let’s take the first step to a new beginning! I am looking forward to working aside you to overcome the barriers and obstacles that are hindering your personal growth.

People meet with me because they know something isn’t quite working in their life, want to understand themselves at a deeper level, and hope to move towards positive change. As a psychologist, I am passionate about helping people gain insight through therapy and take practical action in their life. As someone who has relocated many times in my life and as a child of immigrant parents, I highly value the importance of cultural factors when working with clients. My clients include adults who are BIPOC, incorporate faith into therapy, overcome past traumatic events, and/or strengthen their communication & assertiveness skills.

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.
