I utilize Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP), and solution focused techniques.
For some, the thought of beginning therapy can be overwhelming and intimidating, and my goal as a therapist is to prioritize my clients’ welfare and adapt my counseling strategies to meet individuals where they are. As a person-centered therapist, I will offer support and guidance throughout the therapy process and help my clients develop hope and strategies to build a life worth living. My strengths-based approach of counseling allows me to build a safe, strong therapeutic alliance with my clients where we can work together to explore emotions, thoughts, and behaviors and make shifts that will enhance their lives.

Peace. I know how important it is to create a safe space for you to talk about your struggles. Whether the discussion is about your sexuality, especially if you are part of the LGBTQ+ community, your mood, your past including traumatic experiences and upcoming life transitions, therapy and the process of collaborative learning about you is my goal. My work experiences in hospital settings, college counseling settings, community mental health and private practice in both Saudi Arabia and the U.S. have taught me to integrate what I have learned about education, advocacy, and treatment into my therapeutic approach.

Working in a hope-oriented way using Solution Focused Brief Therapy is effective.
Therapy can be enjoyable. It can leave you feeling better. Therapy here is not as usual, in that it involves questions that you have never heard before. Questions that open up a conversation to bring your best self forward and allow you to discover your answers from within. This conversation helps you discover what is important to you, who you want to be, and the impact you would like to make. Once you find the reason to make the changes you seek, you can realize how to get it done. This happens through language, not labels - possibilities not problems.

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.
