My expertise includes cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT), mindfulness practices (DBT), solution-focused brief therapy ( SFBT), and trauma-informed approaches (TF-CBT).
In today's fast-paced world, I often see adults facing life transitions that bring about a range of emotions and challenges. Whether you're experiencing a career shift, changes in relationship dynamics, aging, or adapting to new social roles, these transitions can lead to feelings of uncertainty and stress. Compounded by issues like depression, anxiety, grief, and unresolved trauma, navigating these phases can be overwhelming. My ideal clients are those in the midst of these tumultuous times, looking not just to cope but to thrive.

Self-love, feeling grounded, confidence, and balance each play a large role in how we cope with life's stressors. Lacking in any one of these could easily result in some level of suffering. In addition, the world we live in can be stressful and overwhelming at times, with many faced with unresolved issues and emotional challenges.

Many feel alone and overwhelmed when they are struggling with life challenges or mental health symptoms. Some people try to stuff the “bad feelings” deep down and pretend they are okay, while others shut out family and friends so they don’t hurt them or feel judged by them. It can be hard to have hope when you feel trapped in such a dark place without a light to see the way out.

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.
