When you are struggling with an issue that's causing you pain, you want a therapist who will make you feel comfortable, and provide you a safe healing space. I help people work through childhood issues, trauma, PTSD, anxiety and depression, letting go of the emotional baggage they've been carrying around for years. Often, people find the wounds of childhood hold them back in adult life, don't let this be you. Whatever your issue, know you will find a spirit of acceptance as I help you to work through whatever is causing you emotional pain. I'm told my voice is calming, the British accent I expect, and my sense of humor appreciated.

I also infuse solution focused therapy to develop healthy coping mechanisms and help clients rediscover who they are.
Everyone has a story. You deserve to be seen and you deserve to be heard. As a therapist I have the sacred honor to hear your story. As an actor and performing artist, I understand the struggles of overthinking and love to work with my fellow overthinkers. I love aiding people who have experienced complex trauma- that have developed maladaptive patterns in their life and have lost their voice, power, and their identity. Maybe this stems from childhood, maybe from an abusive relationship or from abandonment.

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.
