I also enjoy helping clients find their strengths in whatever situation they find themselves through Strengths Based and Solution Focused Therapy.
My main goal is to work on what YOU want to work on. I will provide you a sounding board and listen intently and when you are ready, I will encourage you to explore other ways/means/ideas to improve the situation. The hardest work to do is often the most important and the only way to initiate change in our lives. Sometimes we all need a nudge towards problem-solving.

Empowering you to become "The Best Possible You" is my ultimate goal. Life is full of challenges, disappointments and successes. How you process these experiences may impact your quality of life. Do you embrace a challenge, learn from mistakes and celebrate success; or do you retreat from a challenge, beat yourself up over mistakes and discount your successes? While I do not purport to be able to change difficult situations from the past, I will partner with you in understanding and addressing current life issues in a way that allows you to embrace challenges, learn from mistakes, and celebrate success.

I have many years of experience helping individuals and families work through conflict, through Cognitive Behavior Therapy and Solution Focused Therapy.
I know that it is tough navigating this life of uncertainty, especially when life is not going "according to plan". Life is messy, human relationships are rarely just black and white. Sometimes we need help understanding ourselves and the people we love. If you deal with individual internal conflicts (anxiety or depression) or external conflicts (stressors with family ADHD-Strong Willed-Children, or family partnerships) and seeking to empower yourself and live a more fulfilling life, I am ready to journey alongside of you.

Each person and relationship is unique so I use aspects of a few modalities in my work (Narrative, EFT, and SFBT).
Starting therapy can feel daunting. Will my therapist understand me? How can I trust this stranger with my most vulnerable thoughts and feelings? Will this really help my anxiety/relationship/emotions/etc.? Is it worth it? First, you are not alone in these thoughts. Deciding to seek therapy and finding a therapist are big steps towards change that can be challenging. Second, I am here to walk alongside you through this process at your own pace. I believe that every thought and behavior makes sense in context. Therefore, I collaborate with you to explore and understand your personal context so we can successfully facilitate change.

Solution Focused Brief (SFBT) Therapists

How does solution-focused therapy work?

The treatment works by helping a client notice which behaviors and thoughts have positive results on their lives and building a plan around how to maximise these strengths. Practitioners of solution-focused brief therapy (SFBT) believe that individuals already have the experience, wisdom, and resilience to create change in their lives, but may need a guide to help them realise which changes to make and how to make them.

Is solution-focused brief therapy evidence-based?

Yes. Solution-focused brief therapy has been extensively studied, and researchers find strong evidence that it’s an effective treatment for many behavioral and psychological concerns. This may be due to the uplifting nature and practicality of the treatment, which allows patients to employ strategies to reach their goals that are incremental and achievable.

How long does solution-focused brief therapy last?

Solution-focused brief therapy, as the name implies, is brief. The timeline may vary from person to person, given the challenges they face and their situation in life, but treatment is typically complete within four to eight sessions. This therapy type is a pragmatic one: it’s concerned more with “how” problems can be addressed and improved than getting to the root of “why” they exist in the first place.

Is solution-focused brief therapy a type of cognitive behavioral therapy?

Solution-focused brief therapy is related to cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT)in that both are pragmatic approaches that deal less with gaining a full understanding of the cause of a mental health problem and more with creating plans for how to cope with these problems and improve an individual’s day-to-day life. They are distinct, however, in that SFBT emphasises building on strengths and resources, while CBT focuses on changing negative thoughts and behaviors.
