My style uses a person-centered, strength-based approach focusing on motivational interviewing, cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) and DBT skills.
Congratulations for taking the first step in healing and taking care of you! I provide a safe space for you to express your feelings and work through any barriers you may have to living your best life. I have found telehealth therapy allows more patients access to care with increased convenience, while still providing connection and confidentiality. I send a HIPPA compliant zoom link directly to your email. Please feel free to email me or book directly with me on My Website!

Life is hard and full of challenges, we all need some outside supports at different stages in our life. It is not always easy to be open and vulnerable to those people within our inner circle and that can feel lonely and isolating. A trusting therapeutic relationship can provide you the space and freedom many people need to be their true authentic self, to say what they have been holding in, and know they will be accepted through it all. I strive to create an atmosphere where each client can feel seen, heard, validated and celebrated for who they are. We are all worthy of this. Your story makes you uniquely you.

Perhaps you’re at a point where you are frustrated and tired of starting over with a new therapist. You’re tired of telling your story over and over again and not experiencing any relief. You’re tired of taking all these medications and being numb. And you’re tired of your past trauma disrupting your everyday life. Perhaps you’re wondering if you’re ever going to heal and feel better. You CAN heal. The therapist’s job is to help facilitate the healing process that lies within you. To heal from trauma, you don’t have to talk about the details of what has happened to you (unless you find it helpful).

Couples Therapy: Communication feels stressful instead of safe. Minor annoyances escalate into fights, with no resolution in sight. The friendship you once had feels distant, replaced by resentment. You’re looking for practical tools and safe conversations to reconnect and truly hear each other again. I offer an objective approach to help you reframe your dynamics and stabilize your interactions. Working together, we can build a roadmap that turns conflict into connection and replenishes your bond instead of exhausting it. I also offer premarital counseling for couples looking to build a strong foundation and relationship 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.
