I work collaboratively with clients to establish mutually agreed upon therapeutic goals and provide a comfortable and compassionate space to explore, discuss, and be heard. My therapy style combines DBT, CBT, ACT and The Gottman Method and is tailored to the specific needs of each individual as they walk towards self-discovery and well-being. With these approaches, I empower my clients to identify and achieve their goals by drawing on their unique individual strengths. Consequently, they are able to gain a deeper understanding of who they are and how their thoughts, feelings, and behaviors impact their functioning and relationships.

Congratulations on taking the courageous first step on your journey towards healing and optimizing your life. The word 'therapy' can be overwhelming, but I'd like to dismantle that. Think of it as nothing more than a personalized journey of self-discovery tailored to your unique needs and goals, done at your own pace. It is a non-judgmental, guided exploration of your inner experiences - your thoughts, emotions, and values. I work with teens and adults who are experiencing the inevitability of life's challenges, creating a trusting, collaborative space for you to identify maladaptive patterns, seek understanding and find solutions.

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.
