Using Solution Focused Brief Therapy, Emotionally Focused Therapy, and incorporating Mindfulness, I will meet you with a hopeful, strength-based awareness of where you are and support you to where you want to be.
Choosing to seek outside support is not an easy step, but one that shows great courage and strength. We each carry our own experiences that are shaped by our families, our social and cultural identities, as well as our own internal values and goals. But let’s talk real for a second, being human in a perfectionist world is not an easy walk. Life experiences can bring challenges where we begin to feel disconnected from others, ourselves, and even from our experiences. I come from a perfectionistic background where my sense of grace was given to others, but not to myself. I understand the struggle of self-esteem issues, and depression.

When you get to a place where you are ready to address past traumas, it can feel very overwhelming to figure out where to start. While there is no cookie-cutter method to treat all people, I customize the treatment approach to each individual based on that person's comfort level and needs. My own experience with the military, domestic violence, personality disorders and divorce ignited my determination to become an expert and help others find empowerment to overcome feelings of helplessness and grief. I look forward to helping you find strength and regain confidence as you move forward and find healing.

I enjoy helping children and families work together through challenges faced at school and home. I feel many obstacles can eventually be looked upon as a catalyst for growth especially in the areas of resiliency and confidence. I have a true understanding of the needs of children in the school setting. I like to use practical ways to involve the child in being an active participant in therapy and work closely with the parents to tailor a plan that best fits their unique needs. I enjoy working with families who face the unique challenges children with special needs face along with their siblings.

In a hectic and unpredictable world, finding space to pause and submerge into one’s inner existence is a rarity. It can be difficult to allow ourselves this space until happenstances like grief, trauma, anxiety, depression, and burnout pull the rug out from under us. All living things on this planet, humans included, are conditioned by their environment and genetics. Years of our life are spent implicitly being influenced by others and life experiences. Processing through how these influences and experiences have impacted us explicitly bring them to awareness.

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.
