If life is handing you more than you can handle alone, I'd love to be able to support and guide you while you find your way. Life is complicated, so let's keep therapy simple. It's helpful to use a strength based approach which utilizes your strengths to promote effective coping skills to work through issues. I use the following modalities in sessions, depending on what would best meet your needs: Solution Focused Brief Therapy (finding exceptions and strength assessment) and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (awareness, managing emotions, self-esteem and distress tolerance).

I am purposed to love and to serve. Helping to healing are my calling. I did not always understand what my plan was in life, but I knew that what I nurtured by nature was a gift that I could not allow to be in vein. Externally, I appeared well put together and as if I had it all, but in this journey called Life, I realized that internally some things were missing. In God’s image, we are created in three parts: mind, body, and spirit. When those three elements are not in intricate unity with one another an internal imbalance can exist. Currently, I am an LPC licensed in two states: Michigan and Wisconsin.

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.
