Life can be difficult. We all experience challenges and could benefit from working through them with the help of someone else. For over 25 years, I have supported individuals with a wide range of issues including anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, parenting, life transitions, compassion fatigue, burnout, and grief related to sudden death, suicide or homicide. Supporting growth from a place of loss or crisis is my passion and I believe in working together to make any struggle more manageable.

Hi there and welcome. You may be here for a variety of reasons, or you may not even be sure what, exactly, you're looking for yet. Life and career transitions can be extremely stressful and confusing, to say the least. I specialize in career counselling, burnout, and anxiety. Usually, these pieces intersect. You may no longer find as much meaning in your work and it's anxiety-inducing to think of starting somewhere new. You may have experienced a loss and now you're re-considering your path. These are sentiments I hear often in my work, so you're certainly not alone in this, although I know it can feel this way.

What if I'm not good enough; what if others are better than me; they probably don't like me or think I'm weird; what if I mess up or fail; I'm a fraud. Are these examples of thoughts or worries you struggle with regularly or during overwhelming situations? Perhaps you struggle with procrastination, people-pleasing, and/or unhealthy perfectionism.

Sometimes, life can feel heavy. We may not see light in our lives, even when everything appears to be going well. We may have low moods, struggling to get out of bed. Maybe you are overwhelmed, anxiety is taking over, and it's difficult to find clarity. When these things happen, relationships can also struggle since we have a hard time showing up as our best selves. If this is happening, know that it is normal for our lives to go through these peaks and valleys, and it may also help to get some support.

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.
