How does solution focused brief therapy (SFBT) work, and what do sessions look like?
Solution-Focused Brief Therapy (SFBT) focuses on your strengths, goals, and the changes you want to make rather than spending all your time on problems. During sessions, we'll explore what's already working, identify practical steps toward your goals, and build on the strengths you already have. My approach is collaborative and solution-oriented, helping you develop realistic strategies that create meaningful changes in your everyday life.
I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with over ten years of experience helping adults navigate life's challenges. My background includes private practice, crisis intervention, and medical oncology, giving me a unique perspective on the emotional challenges that come with trauma, chronic stress, health concerns, caregiving, and major life transitions.
I specialize in working with women navigating anxiety, depression, trauma, ADHD, burnout, insomnia, relationship challenges, grief, and women's mental health concerns, including perimenopause and the demands of balancing work, family, and personal well-being.
My approach is warm, down-to-earth, collaborative, and practical. I incorporate evidence-based therapies, including EMDR, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy for Insomnia (CBT-I), Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT), somatic techniques, mindfulness, and solution-focused therapy. I believe therapy should be more than just talking about problems. It should help you understand yourself, develop meaningful coping skills, and create lasting changes in your everyday life.
What makes me unique is the combination of my professional experience and my understanding of real-life challenges. I've experienced the demands of balancing family, career, education, caregiving, and personal loss. I understand how easy it can be to put everyone else's needs before your own.
My goal is to create a comfortable, judgment-free space where you can show up exactly as you are, feel genuinely heard, and work toward becoming a healthier, more confident version of yourself. You don't have to have everything figured out before starting therapy. We'll work through it together.
