My focus of my practice is that of relationship therapy. Relationship to self, others and the world is extremely important for healthy living. When something gets in the way of good relationship then sometimes it is really important to have a third parties insight into what might be going wrong and how to make changes to overcome what might be standing in the way. I see children, teens, individuals, couples, and families. We offer: marital, anger management, domestic violence, addiction and relapse prevention, weight loss, anxiety, depression, conflict resolution, trauma resolution, supervision, and Christian counselling programs.

I use several types of interventions: Compassionate Inquiry, Solution Focused Therapy, and Internal Family Systems.
I believe that everyone deserves to invest in their well being and personal growth. We are all impacted by our past, our current environment and our relationships with others. With an investment in yourself, you can move toward positive outcomes that reflect personal goals and values. Counselling is an investment in every part of your life: as a partner, parent, friend, or professional. I believe in stepping into a place of agency in terms of creating the life you want and deserve to be living. I have helped many do just that and am grateful for the benefits we all receive when healing and joy ripple out into the world.

Solution Focused Brief (SFBT) Counsellors
How does solution-focused therapy work?
The treatment works by helping a client notice which behaviours 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 behavioural 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 behavioural therapy?
Solution-focused brief therapy is related to cognitive behavioural 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 behaviours.
