In all of the work that I do with clients, there are some primary goals: Promote understanding and eliminate ambiguity. It is only through understanding that we can create comprehensive and meaningful change.

Solution-focused Brief Therapy (SFBT) is a form of evidence-based psychotherapy that is different from most therapies.

SFBT is a question-focused and change-oriented approach that guides you to view a challenge in your life from a different perspective. Its purpose is to inspire, create hope, and maintain your autonomy.

I attended Adler University in Chicago where I specialized in Psychoanalysis. Classical Adlerian Psychotherapy is unique in the sense that each client has their own individual type of therapy. The overall goal of the therapy is to establish a relationship between client and community in order not only to challenge unhealthy and unrealistic thoughts of the world, but also to challenge client's to replace self-defeating behaviors for ones that will lead to a more positive and healthy lifestyle.

My masters program was called Spiritual Care & Psychotherapy. I had 3 years previous to that in a counselling undergrad that focused heavily on building a spiritually integrated foundation for theoretical approaches with clients. During those formative years developing as a professional and discovering who I wanted to be as a counsellor, I realised that I was made to serve and model with high integrity, a compassion for my clients that would stand out in their lives; that I had the privilege to be a small seed along their journey to well being. I look forward to walking with you, building a wonderful relationship through the hard times and the celebration of successes. You are worth it!
