Hope is the focus of my practice and my life. Through Solution-Focused Brief Counseling, I help clients paint a hopeful picture of their future and then envision the path to get there. So many people get stuck in their problems, and forget that they aren't permanent. I try to help others see what's possible and find the light in the darkness of their lives.
Before becoming a Therapist I worked for years as a High School Counselor, and a Chef for 10 years before that. In my free time, I love spending time with my wife, attending church regularly, and studying various Martial Arts, including Boxing, Muay Thia, Jiu-Jitsu, and a dedicated focus on Traditional Wing Chun.
My priority in my practice it to get you to your desired transformation to become who you want to be. You can achieve your dreams, I'm here to help. (484) 681-2768.
About Solution Focused Brief Therapy
The Solution Focused Universe (SFU) Training Organisation SFBT Statement
Solution Focused Brief Therapy (SFBT) is a therapeutic approach that was developed by Steve de Shazer, Insoo Kim Berg, and their colleagues in the 1980’s. SFBT is an evidence-based approach that is effective at helping clients from any background and with various presenting problems. SFBT is a radical approach to helping clients that asks clients to focus their attention on the future they would like to design and create rather than continuing to focus on other problem-related concerns. This language-based approach encourages clinicians to view each client as resourceful and competent, while they co-construct (work with) their clients to move forward into the life they would like to live. SFBT professionals ask detail-oriented questions that get clients thinking in new and more adaptive ways. After engaging in change-oriented conversations many clients report feeling warmly understood and empowered to use their agency and autonomy to make necessary changes in their lives that are in line with their desired outcome for therapy. This respectful and collaborative approach doesn’t further traumatize clients or require them to wade through heartache and pain. Instead, SFBT helps clients expand their vision of who they are and what they are capable of accomplishing. This can be used on your website or elsewhere to describe what we do succinctly, and to keep in line with your SFU Solution Focused Brief Therapy training.
