When we're struggling, it can take us away from the “now” and keep us stuck in a cycle. We will work together to get to the root of the problem and identify unhelpful thoughts and behaviors that have been holding you back from the life you want. We will learn to identify and reframe thought processes to inspire change in feelings and behaviors. Pain and suffering is inevitable in life, and it does not need to hold you back. We will learn to both make room for pain, and engage in behaviors toward your values. Ultimately, you will learn how to be comfortable being uncomfortable while challenging yourself to live a fulfilling life.

If there was one thing I wish people knew about the therapy experience who might be hesitant to try it, it would that be that what you are feeling is totally normal! Therapy is a process, not a quick fix. It is an opportunity to connect to what shapes our lives and the lens we see the world and ourselves. One’s family, culture, society, media, among many other factors impact our lens and therefore our relationships with ourselves and others. Therapy is about “peeling back the layers” in order to develop awareness of this lens and eventually to start making changes.

Our childhood, history, and personal myths about ourselves are powerful forces that have the ability to shape our interpersonal relationships and behaviors; worldview and ourselves. At some point, we all have experiences, challenges or life altering experiences that will have the ability to change our trajectory, bring us to a cross road or that will challenge our core beliefs about ourselves and the world around us. Through my work with individuals, families and couples I have enjoyed helping others to navigate these obstacles in order to transform these adverse experiences into opportunities of growth.

Thank you for viewing my profile. Taking the first step and contacting a therapist can be intimidating and takes courage. My main focus for the past 25 years has been on Alcohol and Substance Abuse Treatment in group settings as well as Individual sessions. I work with adults, families, and couples. In addition to counseling individuals with issues of addiction, I also work with Adult Children of Alcoholics and Addicts (ACOA/COA) addressing the negative impact of growing up in an alcoholic household. Addiction does not affect just the individual using. Addiction affects the whole family. I do not work strictly with addiction.

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.
