I am well versed in techniques associated with evidenced-based approaches that are client-centered, strengths-based and self-determined utilizing techniques, knowledge, and skills from Trauma-Informed Practice, CBT, IFS, SFBT, Mindfulness Based & Somatic Therapies, Healing & Expressive Arts Therapies (art, music poetry, creative writing, play etc) .
I strongly believe that everyone is unique and everyone’s story is unique; therefore, different approaches are essential in working with a wide variety of people. I am a true believer in the concept of “words shape beliefs” and, in that vein, saying “I do not know” or “please help” are powerful words since vulnerability often leads to growth and healing. One of my favorite quotes is by Viktor Frankl who said "When we are no longer able to change a situation - we are challenged to change ourselves."

As an adult life hands you challenges, overcoming them can seem like an obstacle. Feelings and emotions can stir up an overwhelming sense of frustration which can cause a lack of motivation. This lack of motivation can cause a feeling of being stuck with proceeding towards our goals. By overcoming the challenges that life presents us, we can gain our motivation and the ability to return to the present and continue towards achieving our goals.

Sometimes life keeps throwing curve balls at us, causing us to wonder how many more we can dodge. Dodging these curve balls can cause us to struggle with anxiety, OCD, depression and trauma. Feelings of guilt, future tripping, or needing things a certain way may become a large part of our world. These thoughts can take up space rent free in our minds making us act or behave a certain way to feel better. Or the tiring upkeep can make it feel like we're dragging through life, losing our motivation, or that we're wearing a mask. In moments like these a helping hand is sometimes all we need to regain control over our lives.

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.
