My strength-based approach uses elements of Cognitive Behavioral therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Mindfulness, Narrative Therapy, Sex Therapy, and VR.
Have there been things that you wish you could talk about with friends and loved ones, but just don’t feel comfortable? Maybe you started to push your feelings aside and now find yourself having low self-esteem, feeling down, angry, and resentful. Whether it is anxiety, depression, communication, intimacy, infidelity, work-life balance, all the above, or none of the above, you just want relief. As a psychotherapist my work is driven by the deeply held belief that change is possible and your current circumstances do not have to dictate your future. My aim for you is to feel accepted, understood and empowered.

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.
