I believe that every person has the ability to heal and lead satisfying and fulfilling lives. Everyone does the best with what they have and when life presents significant challenges our reactions and behaviors often make sense in context. Problems do not exist within one person but are the result of a person’s family or relational systems, circular patterns, external systems, and learned behaviors that once had a functional purpose. I consider health to be the culmination of mental, physical, spiritual, and relational states, and I will work from this inclusive and holistic perspective.

I utilize a multi-faceted, client-centered approach when providing interventions, pulling from family-systems, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Trauma-Focused CBT, Solution Focused Brief Therapy and Motivational Interviewing.
My counseling approach is based on the belief that everyone can create meaningful change within themselves. I believe that all entities whether it be individuals, couples or families have the innate ability to create change and resolve issues. I think we are all intrinsically designed to be resilient and to find strength from within ourselves when it is needed. As a forward thinker, I am prone to believe that when hope is instilled, and solutions are sought or offered there is always a greater possibility for change to occur.

My theoretical base includes: Person Centered, Solution Focused, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Motivational Interviewing (MI), and Mindfulness.
The willingness to seek help is a brave step forward into making some sense out of life’s messiness and challenges. Looking deeper at issues, working on ourselves and seeking support from others can be scary and feel vulnerable, even but it can also be a beneficial step towards healing. I believe we all have an ability within ourselves to heal but sometimes we need the support and guidance from others. As a Counselor, I am here to support you and provide you with the clinical care and guidance you need to move through these challenges and to take the steps to improve your wellbeing.

I believe in solution focused therapy, where we find out the why to the problems that are causing issues, cognitive behavioral therapy, where we challenge irrational thoughts and perspectives that may be causing chaos in our lives, and family systems, knowing that whom we were raised by and what supports we have had growing up impact us to this very day.
Do you often feel stuck in life? Not knowing how to navigate big changes that occur? Do you often think about past regrets, or worry too much about the future? Does anxiety and stress stop you from accomplishing the things you want in life? Do you need help to find purpose or motivation in daily activities? If you answered yes to any of the questions above and need help overcoming these challenges and reach your goals in life, I may be able to help.

I believe that every person, regardless of diagnosis or past experiences, can lead purposeful and fulfilling lives with the proper support. We do the best with what we have, and too often life presents significant challenges we are forced to adapt to. Sometimes the patterns that were helpful to get through our childhood present major challenges later in life. Our symptoms do not make us abnormal and are not part of a fundamental flaw that needs fixing, they are a normal response to extraordinary circumstances. Problems do not exist within one person but are the result of a person’s context, family patterns, and learned behaviors.

At times we realize we cannot face our stressors alone, so we seek out a helper. Providing a respectful space to collaborate with you to gain clarity, along with agency towards increased confidence, calm, and opportunities for healing and life fulfillment is my commitment to you. I believe no problem or situation is “too minor,” and that your mind, body and experiences contain clues to your growth and recovery process. I value offering a safe place for your diverse needs, and welcome any race/ethnicity, national origin, gender identity, sexual orientation, spectrum of abilities, age, spirituality, or any other human aspect.

Since no single theory can capture our experiences as human beings, I utilize an integrated approach that allows me to use some aspects of Gestalt, Existential, and Solution Focused, as well as high utilization of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and EMDR. In addition to my community mental health, I am including private practice in my work. My main goal as a clinician is to help and guide individuals to change their lives to improve everyday living.

I approach counseling from a systems perspective. A systems way of thinking states that you impact, and are impacted by, the family you grew up in as well as the one you are currently a part of. I view counseling as a collaborative process in which we will examine the source of your concerns, problems, and relationships in the context of a safe, therapeutic relationship. We will develop a plan of action for reaching your personalized goals and will incorporate your unique strengths, resources, supports, and culture.

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.
