I am strength-based/solution-focused to encourage, explore, self-actualize and strengthen relationship connection.
Are fears getting in your way? Behind your fears are desires- desires for pursuit of your dreams, career, relationships, fulfillment and success. But something is getting in the way. It might be past experiences, losses, unprocessed feelings or limiting beliefs. It’s time for you to clear the past and create the future with intention. Being present and enjoying life starts with healing the past. Gaining self-understanding, compassion, acceptance, confrontation of fears, and definition of desires illuminates the path to self discovery and joy. Self-connection brings greater fulfillment.. It’s time to live the life you have imagined!

I am passionate about supporting clients in overcoming trauma, depression, anxiety, relationship difficulties, and life changes. I use a strength-based, non-judgmental, and trauma-informed approach to counseling. Many of my clients come to me wanting change because they are tired of feeling overwhelmed, misunderstood, and stuck. Some of my clients have done counseling before, but it didn’t go deep enough to understand and explore how patterns and experiences from the past are showing up in their lives now. I will work with you to determine the root cause of your struggles and use evidence-based approaches to support healing.

Some of my favorite words come from Brene Brown when she said, "Empathy has no script. There is no right or wrong way to do it. It is simply listening, holding space, withholding judgement, emotionally connecting and communicating that incredibly healing message of 'You Are Not Alone.' " I am here to provide that space for you while you work to overcome trauma or significant life experiences. It takes courage and vulnerability to begin the therapy process. I consider it a privilege to hear your story and walk alongside you.

I take clients from all different backgrounds and presenting problems. Most of my clients have complex problems that start as internal struggles from depression, poor mood regulation, anxiety, racing thoughts, over-active anger, poor self-esteem, and judgment of self and others. These issues turn into interpersonal and relational problems that create felt chaos and cyclically feed those internal struggles. Clients often come in focusing on the outside chaos and miss the internal factors.

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.
