I graduated from Pace University with my Master's Degree as a Licensed Mental Health Therapist and Substance Abuse Counselor. I do not believe in a one-size-fits-all approach to therapy as each individual has specific treatment needs as each person's experiences and the emotional impact of those experiences are unique to that individual. This is why my theoretical approach is humanistic and client-centered. I use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavioral Therapy, Solution Focused Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, Adler, and Gestalt.

My goal is to empower individuals by using the right tools, a supportive environment and the use of strengths based, solution focused framework.
Start where you are, use what you have, do what you can. This is my basic premise from which I practice my clinical approach. Often times life throws many curve balls that makes you feel overwhelmed, stuck, lost and fearful. During these times growth and change can seem like a far fetched idea and can affect you well into adulthood, but life is not meant to be lived this way. I am a New York State Licensed Social Worker with over 10 years of experience working in child welfare, hospital behavioral health settings and schools which have afforded me the opportunity to craft my skill of helping others live fulfilling lives.

I specialize with working younger adults who are struggling in school or at work. Transitioning to high school, college, or a new job is a stressful process. Feelings of anxiety, depression and self-doubt get in the way of thriving and excelling at school or at work. When struggling with anxiety and depression, often the quality of sleep, diet, and exercise are also poor. Relationships with friends and family are strained, as feelings of depression and anxiety make them stuck and prevent them from enjoying the world around them. Clients want to break free, and feel joy, satisfaction, and contentment. Clients want to live life happy.

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.
