I have a 100% online practice, and I especially enjoy working with clients who are in transition—into high school, college, or young adulthood—and are motivated to learn techniques to grow and evolve. I especially love helping teens and young adults w/ High Functioning Autism, ADHD, LD, or Social Anxiety navigate college, work, or life. Making improvements in one's life takes time and energy both inside the virtual therapy room and in daily life, and I believe that learning concrete skills to implement outside of therapy is necessary to make progress. I use a variety of technology to support clients in using skills on the daily!

Between the pressures of school, family, friends, social media, and all the stressors that come with being a teen or young adult, you might be thinking: something has GOT to give. When we go through tough times, we can find ourselves looking for answers in all the wrong places (eh hm TikTok doom-scrolling at 3am). Instead of hanging on the words of influencers as they dole out “life hacks,” you might be ready to invest in proper self-care via mental health therapy. Teenage and young adult years are a precious and fleeting stage of personal development; going to therapy can help navigate this phase of life with confidence.

My focus is strength-based.
For fulfillment and satisfaction to flourish in your life, you need to first establish a healthy relationship with yourself. Addiction, anxiety, or depression can impact all your relationships and leave you feeling "stuck" and unable to choose a direction in your life. Talking to a professional can really help you move forward. There are many benefits to talking through what is troubling you with a professional rather than a friend. It is a process that you control in my solution-focused problem solving therapy practice method. For 30 plus years, I have provided new insights and skills to help clients create the life they want.

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.
