I have a strong passion for working with individuals who deal with daily anxiety, panic attacks, and other symptoms associated with severe anxiety. I enjoy working with all ages but have a special place in my heart for working with teenagers and young adults. I look at the whole person and not just the current issues at play. I like to collaborate with my clients to tailor an approach that works for them, and am always open to feedback. I believe that every client has it in themselves to make a change, but sometimes needs someone to help teach them how to use the skills that they already have.

The clients that I see are struggling with how to get and give the love they want and need. Most clients that I work with have a deep desire to feel heard and understood in their intimate relationships. Some clients become lost and struggle with anxiety and depression when feelings of shame, guilt and abandonment come into play. They need someone to help them understand their pain and walk with them as they transform their lives.

I believe that each individual is the expert on their own life and that every person’s lived experience is valuable. I want to provide a safe and inclusive space for people to define and work toward what they determine is a full, beautiful life for themselves. I also believe that there are systemic issues in our society that contribute to mental health and other struggles. Therapy is not a fix for these issues but can help build coping skills while we do work in the outside world to dismantle systems of oppression and inequality.

I treasure a core belief that human beings are inherently compassionate, wise, and whole. Then life happens and we begin to lose access to our inner resourcefulness. My work is rooted in connection, authenticity, and empathy. I feel that change and healing occur both experientially and relationally. By utilizing compassion, honesty, and humor, I connect and collaborate with clients to create a supportive and non-judgmental container for self-exploration and growth.

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.
