Just like physical healing is a process, so is the healing of the mind body and spirit. I love helping individuals enhance their emotional and spiritual well-being. I have over 20 years in the Behavioral Mental Health Field working within a variety of co-occurring populations of stress, anxiety, depression, and grief and loss from younger to older adults. I have worked in both veteran and crisis behavioral healthcare settings for several years. I graduated receiving an MSW with a concentration in Military Specialization and conducted groups in both arenas.

I offer virtual daytime and evening appointments to fit your busy schedule. As a local, married to a Veteran, I've worked with both civilian and military clients and their families, since 1995. I would love to meet you, answer questions, and provide easy and effective ways to reduce stress, find peace and bring life back into balance. Using cognitive behavioral, educational and solution-focused (research based) approaches, I've helped children, adolescents, adults and families achieve positive results from depression, anxiety, difficult relationships or difficult life situations for a more meaningful and satisfying life.

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.
