I have been working with at-risk youth since 2004. While earning my BA in Psychology at UCCS, I worked in a residential treatment facility, learning the ropes of being a front line staff. While earning my MA in Clinical Psychology, also at UCCS, I worked with middle school youth at a local school. Following graduation, I returned to residential as a therapist working almost exclusively with sexually abusive youth. I have presented research on this topic and many others across the country and in Canada, and have earned my Full Operating Treatment Provider from the Colorado Sex Offender Management Board (SOMB).

I understand how daunting this first step can be and I provide a safe, warm space to help you make your way through this and find your healthy path.

Depression, anxiety, trouble adjusting to new life circumstances, and grief can all feel like stones in a backpack that drags you down. I can help you lighten the load.

Hi there! I am so glad you are here. I acknowledge that finding a therapist can feel like an overwhelming task, and therapy itself can feel intimidating. My desire is to offer you a safe space where you can begin your journey towards growth and where you feel comfortable navigating the big emotions that life can bring up. I bring a warm, compassionate, and caring presence into the therapy room. Over time, I enjoy creating a space where we can get curious - where we can challenge ways of thinking, dig deep into the root of your experience, or explore different ways of viewing a situation. This is all at your pace.

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.
