I have a love of social justice advocacy and consider it an essential part of my role as a mental health therapist. I aim to empower clients to look to their personal experiences as a source of resilience through a humanistic, strength-based approach to counseling while encouraging clients to view mental wellness from a holistic perspective. I enjoy incorporating elements of mindfulness into my clinical work with all ages. My approach to counseling considers the intersectional nature of lived experience and the ways our diverse identities inform how we view ourselves.

What do Mindfulness and Ketamine have to do with YOU? They are two of the most powerful healing methods for transforming our modern challenges, and either/both may be the key to removing your internal barriers to reveal the best of who you already are underneath your struggles: open, content, grateful, fulfilled. Clients typically come to me feeling anxious, depressed, incomplete, stressed, burned out. Of course they want to feel heard and supported in therapy, but they want and need more than that. What they really want is guidance on how to handle their problems and make the shift into living a more fulfilling and meaningful life.

Sometimes in order to grow and be who you truly are you have to assess what has been chronically holding you back. Could it be social conventions of "normalcy", familial expectations, outdated beliefs, or just not knowing where to begin? Whatever it is, breaking away from the idea of who you thought you were and embodying your true self is daunting and frankly, scary. The truth is, we are all in transition, whether you're; transgender, or struggling with depression and PTSD, we are all transforming into a new version of ourselves all of the time.

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.
