Are you sitting at your work desk and giving a fake smile to those who pass by as you secretly are scrolling the internet for a therapist? Are you tired of putting on this mask as you independently struggle with loneliness, depression, a relationship or anxiety? Do you find yourself hiding your despair because your life "looks great on paper?" One thing I know is your feelings are valid. Let's work together to uncover what is really going on. These feelings are not abnormal, and you need a therapist who can help you discover their root cause.

I specialize in helping girls and women struggling with stress, anxiety, perfectionism, past trauma, self-esteem, and life transitions. I believe the better we understand ourselves, the better we get at making conscious choices. Gaining insight into the "why" and "how" we operate can help us cultivate self-compassion for where we've been and find the courage to do things differently. Many clients who come to work with me identify as overwhelmed high-achievers on the brink of burnout or misunderstood big feelers needing skills and support.

Does your life feel like the "this is fine" dog sitting in fire meme? When my clients come to me, they're tired of trying to appear like they have it all together when everything feels like it's on fire. They feel overwhelmed by life and by trying to get everything "right" and keep everyone else happy. They want to feel less stressed, less anxious, and feel more satisfied in their relationships and life. If you're struggling with similar feelings, I can help you learn specific skills and strategies to manage the stress and anxiety, have more fulfilling relationships, and overall enjoy life more.

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.
