A strength-based approach helps people see themselves not as problems to be solved, but as individuals full of potential, capable of creating change and thriving — even through difficulty.

– a positive, empowering way of working with clients that focuses on their inner strengths, resources, and potential — rather than solely on problems, weaknesses, or diagnoses.

– helps people recognize what’s already working in their lives and builds on those abilities to create change, resilience, and growth.

Instead of asking, “What’s wrong with you?”
a strength-based therapist asks, “What’s strong in you?”

The focus is on uncovering the client’s existing skills, values, relationships, and coping strategies — and using these as the foundation for healing and progress.

Supporting Teens Through Life’s Challenges

Adolescence can be an exciting yet overwhelming time. Between academic pressure, social changes, and growing independence, many teenagers struggle with anxiety, self-doubt, or feeling misunderstood. As a teen therapist, I provide a safe, supportive space where young people can talk openly, build confidence, and develop healthy coping skills for life.

My approach is strength-based, meaning I focus on what’s right with your teen — their potential, resilience, and unique qualities. Together, we explore challenges, emotions, and relationships in a way that empowers them to thrive, not just cope.
