Rising Strength Therapy is the right for you!
I believe in the strength of an individual and understand sometimes abilities can be difficult to see in times of distress. Through the use of evidence-based therapeutic modalities, I offer support to those on their journey of healing.
My goal is for you to feel empowered in knowledge of yourself and in practices that you find foster your own personal strength and growth. I believe in a strength-based and person-centered approach, offering light-hearted humor and a space free of judgment.

Why Dragonflies?
Rising Strength Therapy uses dragonflies in the logo because they represent and symbolize so much of what we believe the therapeutic process is about. Dragonflies signify hope, transformation, resiliency, transparency, flexibility, reflection, and many other powerful traits. If you desire change in your life, for whatever reason, you will experience at least some of these attributes going through therapy.
Dragonflies also represent empowerment. While Rising Strength Therapy will support you through your journey, our goal is for you to feel empowered through the process and that your strength has risen allowing you to take flight.
