I offer an affirming and anti-oppressive space for you to explore who you are, what you’ve been through, how those experiences have shaped you, and how you’d like to shape your future. Everything is connected: symptoms such as anxiety and depression are often related to relationship and resource issues, which connect to things like identity, neurotype, or environment. I work with teens and adults struggling with multiple concerns within themselves, their relationships, and their communities.

I love working with my clients! Many come to me depressed, anxious, struggling personally and in their relationships. I try to provide them with hope, perspective, and together we come up with a new plan moving forward. Often, I find clients want to let go of old habits or ways of interacting with loved ones to find more healthy ways to live. We focus on setting healthy boundaries, advocating for oneself, setting goals that will lead to greater happiness, and finding hope in the future. With no exception, I find clients have that inner strength to change within them. Sometimes, they just need a little help along the way!

Ever find yourself in an internal loop of “I’m not good enough,” “It’s all my fault,” or “no one cares”? You often feel lonely, even in a large group of people or like you never really fit in. Perhaps you’ve found drugs or alcohol to “treat” your feelings of emptiness and insecurity around connecting with others. You’ve experienced events in life you’ve never spoken about and are wondering how these things are still showing up in your day-to-day choices.

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.
