As a therapist, I believe that we have, at times, barriers and unresolved elements of experience that create patterns in and through our lives. Patterns can dictate our past, present and future if left unattended. My focus is to work with individuals and families to empower themselves through identification of stored experiences and patterns. I provide a safe place to talk and learn as we explore together the elements of the human experience. I incorporate tracking body sensations and the rhythms of nervous system in order to bring awareness to stress, tension, and trauma in the nervous system and body.

“Just one episode of Supernatural,” you promise yourself, as you collapse onto the couch completely bone-tired. One episode quickly turns into a mini Netflix binge that leaves you feeling more numb and exhausted than when you hit ‘play.’ The Winchesters have become a way to fill the space since you can’t take one more minute of ‘being on and having it all together’ and yet you feel powerless in the attempts you’ve made to change it.

So here's the deal. How often do you say things like, "suck it up" and "rub some dirt on it" when things get tough? What are you hoping to gain from avoiding the truth that brought you to say those things? Are you bottling your feelings? That's the real issue, how you deal with life's roadblocks and speed bumps, not whether or not they exist. Often there is more than just you involved, you have children and they look to you as an example. emotions are human, YOU are human, THEY are human. But HOW in the HELL do you deal? Grab life by the horns and let's make a game plan! Life isn't easy...call me...you are not alone!

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.
