Difficulties arise for us, more often than not, when our circumstances change and our old solutions no longer work, become self-defeating, and yet we continue to apply them anyway.

As your therapist, my training and experience will allow you to engage in person-centered and strength-based approaches.
Our world is continuing to change “We are dealing with collective loss of the world we knew”… ”This is grief.” David Kessler, MD. As we acknowledge these changes, we may find ourselves sad, anxious, irritable, and lonely. The external disconnection and stress we are experiencing in the environment may mirror our own internal experiences. Depression, anxiety, and relationship issues often accompany drastic changes.

As a counselor, it is my passion to assist those through the struggles along life's journey. We are all living through difficult times which can make us feel isolated, alone, anxious, depressed, or without hope. In addition, these stressors can also increase how we experience and perceive the stressors of everyday life as well as how we communicate and interact in relationships with those we love the most. If you want to gain some control over your emotions so that you are living the life you deserve, then therapy could be the answer for you and I would be honored to be on this journey with you.

Hardy. Delicate. Deeply Rooted. Those are some descriptions I’ve heard of the Redbud – Oklahoma’s state tree. They’re also an early sign that spring is coming. What a great representation of the internal growth and change we strive for in counseling! For 20 years, I've worked with individuals and families through grief & loss, anxiety, depression, family/work/personal stress, coping with divorce, remarriage, and rebuilding brokenness. I have extensive experience in medically-focused settings (disability at any age, hospice, caregiving, medical trauma, chronic pain/illness) and with aging populations coping with life stage changes.

I’m guessing, those crap moments of life are getting the best of you. They bring chaos that can suck the life out of us and literally ruin some or all areas we have worked so hard to be successful in, relationships, career growth, raising amazing kids, or even the small things like keeping the kitchen clean not being late to work, brushing our teeth like we have been told our entire lives. Being consistently overwhelmed can create anxiety or depression, which often turns into isolation and irritation; and we become our worst critics. As you try to do all the things to manage life, there is still no relief.

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.
