Skill-Building for Real Life
As we work together, you’ll learn specific coping skills, communication tools, and ways to track your progress. These are things you can use every day — at home, at work, in relationships, and in tough moments.
Over time, these skills start to feel more natural. You’ll stop second-guessing so much. You’ll trust yourself more. And you’ll have a better idea of what to do when life feels hard.
What is CBT?
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps you notice patterns in how you think, feel, and act.
When you’re dealing with anxiety, perfectionism, or low confidence, your thoughts can feel loud and heavy. CBT gives you tools to manage those thoughts, so you can make better choices and feel more steady.
With CBT, we work on things like:
- Catching and changing negative thoughts
- Learning how your habits and thoughts are connected
- Managing tough emotions in healthier ways
- Practicing small, real-life changes that make a big difference
What is Solution-Focused Brief Therapy?
Solution-Focused Therapy (SFBT) helps you stop getting stuck in what’s wrong — and focus instead on what’s possible.
You don’t need to go back through your whole life story to make change. This approach helps you name what you want, notice what’s already working, and make a simple plan to get there.
You’ll learn to:
- Set clear, reachable goals
- Notice small wins and build momentum
- Use your own strengths to solve problems
- Feel more confident moving forward
Who This Is For
CBT and Solution-Focused Therapy are especially helpful if you:
- Feel anxious, overwhelmed, or emotionally drained
- Struggle with perfectionism or people-pleasing
- Want therapy that’s clear and focused, not open-ended
- Prefer practical steps over long deep-dives
- Are ready to feel more in control of your mind and mood
You don’t have to “have it all figured out” — you just need to be open to learning and trying new things. I’ll help with the rest.
