Solution Focused Brief Therapy
I believe it is better to do one thing and do it really well. As such, I specialize in Solution-Focused Brief Therapy (SFBT) — a proven, goal-oriented approach that helps you make real progress in less time. I’m completing advanced training with BRIEF, the world’s leading institute for SFBT, to ensure every session stays true to the model and maximizes results.
Issues I Treat
Specialties
-
Alcohol Abuse and Alcohol Dependence
As a therapist in recovery, I use Solution-Focused Brief Therapy (SFBT) to address alcohol dependence by helping clients identify their strengths, resources, and past successes to create a vision for a sober future. I focus on what's working, setting small, achievable goals to build momentum, and empowering clients to develop their own strategies for recovery, all while drawing on my own experience to offer understanding and support

Men's Issues
Many men want therapy that’s practical and forward-looking. Solution-Focused Brief Therapy (SFBT) focuses on solutions, not problems—helping you build on strengths and take clear steps toward the future you want. It’s about action and progress, not dwelling on the past.
-
Depression
Research demonstrates that SFBT works for depression. We focus on solutions rather than problems. It encourages individuals to identify their strengths, past successes and envision a preferred future. By setting small, achievable goals, individuals can build confidence and momentum toward positive change, fostering hope and empowering them to regain control over their lives.
-
Anxiety
Research demonstrates that SFBT works for anxiety. SFBT empowers individuals to identify their strengths, coping strategies and past successes. By setting small, realistic goals, individuals can reduce anxiety step-by-step, building confidence and fostering a sense of control over their thoughts and reactions.
