I practice CBT and brief solution focused therapy.
I am a licensed therapist and certified health coach. I've had the fortunate opportunity of working with many different types of people throughout my career. Working on social work and public health research projects helped me realize I enjoy working with patients who struggle with mental health and chronic disease diagnoses. I obtained my Master's in Social Work degree from East Carolina University in 2011 and began practicing psychotherapy. Taking the first step toward treatment isn't easy.

Anxiety, depression, self-esteem, and trauma are all issues that keep a person from living the life that they truly want to live; or keep a couple from connecting on a level that maybe they use to; or keep a family from relating and understanding each other. Whatever issues arise, I pride myself in helping people navigate through these issues which can help them create and step into the life they desire. ​

After working in foster care, I completed my college studies in psychology and social work. Helping in someone's healing journey is a privilege. Life can be really tough sometimes. Sometimes we have loads that we carry, beliefs and lessons we have learned along the way, some helpful and others not as much. I hope to help people of many multi-ethnic backgrounds, those who are open to healing, and recognize the importance of relationships, starting with self.

With a burning passion for mental well-being, I'm here to guide you toward a life filled with strength and fulfillment. I believe that life can be incredibly difficult to navigate, and sometimes we struggle to figure out what direction to build towards. Even more so, sometimes the lessons we learned in our past do not apply to the lifestyle that we are living today. This makes it difficult to succeed in all areas of life and to feel secure in ourselves. I hope that through therapy, personal effort, and hard work we can create a life that we feel proud of.

Do you often ask yourself, "why do I keep ending up in the same place?" "I feel overwhelmed or confused?" The voice in your head is relentless with the swirling negative messages and thoughts. "I am not good enough!". "I am such a failure". "I don't get nothing right". You spend your time trying to please everyone else by not letting them down, however, it is still not enough. You have done all that you know and you still feel that nothing that you do makes a difference. Hopeless thinking. You feel broken without a sense of direction. You feel confused. You feel what is the use in trying because nothing will change. Is this you?

I aim to live by the instruction to "love your neighbor as yourself". As a mental health professional, this is exemplified by the respect, dignity, and integrity I have for all of my clients. I believe that a therapeutic relationship is one of empowerment where people can make the changes they deem necessary in their lives. At the first meeting with my client, they are encouraged to share their story. I believe that everyone is an expert on their own life experiences. Clients are supported in making strength based treatment plan goals, encouraged towards client centered treatment and assisted in implementing the changes.

Whoever thought you could feel so alone in a world so big? While we all face similar problems, the impact can be so different. I am open to working with clients who are in need of a safe space where they can be vulnerable and transparant without judgment, and who are willing to take an active role in managing their mental health. We often struggle with knowing where or even how to begin , and I believe that sometimes it takes a neutral party to help put things into perspective. No issue is ever too minor, and although we cannot always change our circumstance, creating tools on managing our responses can make a great difference.

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.
