You’re stuck in a spiral of self-doubt, and finding a way out feels exhausting. You remember a time when figuring out how to move forward didn’t feel so complicated, but the life you knew feels like a distant past and the future no longer feels so clear. You’ve held it together for so long, but you’re tired of feeling pulled in a million different directions. You’re ready to feel like your hard work has finally paid off. I help people just like you, ones who have it within them to feel hopeful and grounded again, but just need the support to get there.

Compassionate and effective trauma, anxiety, PTSD, and loss therapy. I work with adults who have survived a trauma and/or loss and want to move forward. My clients have thoughts like, "I should have done something different" or "I am a bad mother/father/daughter/son/sibling." These are very common beliefs following trauma and loss. My clients struggle with shame and guilt on a daily basis. Moreover, somewhere between two to six months of treatment, my clients feel more fulfilled and more in-control of their symptoms. They also begin to use more balanced and grounded thoughts and beliefs.

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.

Strength-Based Counsellors

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.
