In sessions I integrate multiple modalities such as CBT, DBT, Emotionally Focused, and Solution Focused Brief Therapy approaches into her work with clients.
This quote encompasses my approach to trauma and change: “Trauma creates change you don’t choose. Healing is about creating the change that you DO choose.” In my work with clients I seek to navigate through change, healing, and trauma, find and seek deeper meaning and understandings of our own selves within our existence and displays of resilience. In creating what we CHOOSE, whether it be CHANGE through our thought processes, relationships, decisions, or behavior the goals can seek to embrace the differences, challenges, and the unexpected that life throws at us.

More Joy. Less suffering. That’s the goal. I am a solution-focused therapist who thinks that direct communication, a willingness to try new things - and a healthy dash of humor – can lead to growth, healing, and more joy. Therapy at Brite starts from two very important beliefs: your brain isn’t broken (even if it feels that way) and you have strengths you can use to feel better. We identify the strengths and learn to use them more effectively (and more often) while learning how to address the other, stickier areas of life that are weighing you down.

Human beings fascinate me. I am intrigued by both the "why" of how people came to be sitting with me sharing their story and the "how" of helping them change their lives for the better. When we work together, you are not your diagnosis or your problems but, rather, you are a human being trying your best to be content with yourself. It's as simple as that. I always tell my clients "you can't drive to happiness" and by that I mean happiness is fleeting. The goal of therapy, in my mind, is contentment. We will always be working toward that!

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.
