Clients come to me to pursue their life goals and dreams. My clients often arrive knowing where they want to go and simply need support to find the path that leads to building the lives they truly deserve. I greatly enjoy watching people transition into their true selves as they connect fully with their authentic identity, find their voice, renegotiate meaningful relationships and work through difficult emotions that in the past seemed to fight against them, and block their access towards finding resilience. I have a passion for supporting people in my colorful community.

I believe in creating an environment that is both encouraging and challenging in order for you to become a better version of yourself. Working as a team to develop a plan that allows for the change you would like to see in your life is a driving force of my counseling style. I will meet you where you are; I’ll be a supportive resource as we work together to develop healthy skills and improve insight. At times our work together may be difficult or uncomfortable and other times it can be liberating and rewarding. A balance of these two states and all those in between makes great soil for personal growth!

I view counseling as a problem-solving process where we work initially on finding ways to help you feel you are no longer drowning emotionally, then begin a process of improving your awareness of the negative patterns of behavior in your life, and the thoughts and emotions that perpetuate those negative cycles. Once you feel more like you are on solid ground, we work to help you become more aware of the decision points when you can choose to stop from repeating old maladaptive behaviors and begin to develop new more positive behaviors which can help you find a path to a life with which you can be more satisfied.

As human beings, we all have a different perspective on life and what it has to offer. In counseling, we can process those emotions together and see if we can make the negatives into positives. I believe in building a strong and trustful rapport within each session to allow the safe space that you may need. In counseling and everyday life, you are allowed to feel what you feel.

Parenting can be so challenging, to say the least. The life transition of welcoming a baby can come with many ups, downs, and feelings of isolation or defeat. You are physically tired, and often feel like you are running in an uphill race. You feel overwhelmed, with so many decisions to make for your family. You have a lot on your mind and often feel the weight of those thoughts physically, mentally, and emotionally. Maybe you’ve seen a mental health professional before, or considered it, but once again feel that lingering anxiety/depression creeping up again now that you have a little one(s).

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.
