Not presently accepting new clients. I am privileged to be in a profession where I am a witness to the strength people have in their most difficult times. The buildup of stress, anxiety, disconnection, traumatic events, or major life transitions can leave you feeling helpless, hopeless, and looking for relief in ways that feel confusing and unauthentic. Being able to reflect and come to the conclusion that there has to be a different way to cope is the first step toward enacting change. In therapy, my clients work to heal from past hurts, address current stressors, and plan for a vibrant future.

Thank you for viewing my profile. Unfortunately, I am unable to accept new clients at this time. We aren't promised an easy life and the world can be unforgiving.

Having a previous career in sales and marketing, I understand the challenges of the corporate work place along with the pressure and anxiety that can accompany that life. My specialty is trauma and PTSD. I am thankful to journey with people to difficult places so they can let go of triggers and flashbacks.

When one area of your life is under stress, it affects everything else. When emotional health is compromised, physical health is too. All facets of well-being are inseparable and intertwined. It can be exhausting trying to keep it all together. Thus, my passion is addressing the needs of the whole person, not just one dimension. With warmth, sincerity and humor, I create a safe space for getting to the root of what’s going on.

I draw from various therapeutic approaches, such as cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT), solution focused brief therapy ( SFBT) and mindfulness-based techniques, to meet the specific needs of my clients.
Are you someone that has struggled with anxiety or depression, ADHD/ attentional concerns, throughout your life? Or perhaps you are neurodivergent or on the Autism spectrum? I like to look at these characteristics and qualities as super powers and work with my clients to meet their full potential in their lives. This is done by encouraging my clients to develop coping skills, build resilience, and cultivate a greater sense of self-awareness and self-compassion so that they can gain insight into patterns and behaviors, and make positive changes in their lives.

Thank you for taking the time to read about me. My work with clients, first and foremost, focuses on developing a relationship. Research indicates that the single most important component of therapy is the strength of the relationship between the therapist and the client. I build connection by accompanying clients on their journey to insight and healing. Together we create a space that is safe and free of judgment, where the client’s authentic voice can be discovered and heard. I approach each client uniquely and in partnership, based on their needs and challenges.

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.
