I am passionate about helping others to achieve their life goals and/or recover from illness, trauma, or grief. If you have experienced a major life event, death/loss of a loved one, traumatic life events, or been diagnosed with a debilitating illness, this can be a very difficult journey to navigate alone. You may be leaning on others for support only to find they don't know how to help. Or perhaps you are too concerned to burden those closest to you with your emotional needs. Seeking professional therapy is an excellent way to get the specialized help you need on your path to recovery.

I use a comprehensive approach to balance mind and body, encompassing holistic & traditional therapies. I have 30 years of experience. In 1993 I began studying the mind-body connection while working with cancer patients. My work in this area took on greater importance after I suddenly became ill & went into cardiac arrest. Doctors at a prestigious university hospital were baffled. Married with two children, working & having just finished graduate school, unaware how stressed I was, my body showed me.

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.
