It takes courage and strength to seek help – congratulations on taking the next step toward wellness. As a therapist, it is my goal to help my clients develop skills and move forward in achieving their goals. I provide a safe and non-judgmental environment for clients to explore their emotions. I use a combination of techniques including but not limited to cognitive behavior, solution focused, and person-centered therapies. As a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, I have been trained to view my clients and their concerns using a holistic approach. A holistic approach is one in which both the client and the client’s environment are interconnected and influencing each other. This helps to make lasting changes in one’s environment and self.

I believe it is our nature to heal and as individuals facing adversity, we often need support from others. My goal in therapy is to partner with clients to foster a relationship based on trust and mutual respect that acts as a container for healing, resilience, and growth. It is my passion to empower others to better understand themselves and the world around them so they can show up more fully in their lives. We’ll do this together by exploring challenges and strengths, uncovering blind spots, and developing new strategies for leading a happier and healthier life.

As a child of immigrants, I understand the duality of living in a culture that is so very different from one’s own. These experiences help to shape my work with my clients, and I am able to provide various different lenses from which to consider common problems. Whether you are struggling with depression, anxiety, PTSD, familial problems, phase of life problems, or are looking to gain more insight into who you are, therapy can prove to be a useful tool to move towards healing.

I am hear to listen to your concerns and worries in an empathic, caring, and non-judgmental manner, to give you my thoughtful observations, and to support your emotional strengths.

In my practice, I blend mindfulness, somatic, attachment, and trauma-informed approaches within present-moment awareness. I am passionate about helping individuals heal from relational trauma including regaining nervous system regulation, re-inhabiting the body, releasing shame, and re-parenting wounded attachment systems. With a strong emphasis on inner healing intelligence, I collaborate with clients to become more familiar with their innate wisdom and ability to heal and achieve growth. I am also a strong advocate for the responsible and equitable integration of psychedelic medicines into the therapeutic process.

I offer individual and couples therapy tailored to the needs of the unique people who walk through my door. With training and interest in working with patients across the lifespan coming from diverse backgrounds, I have special interest in working with emerging adults (older teens to 30's) and couples. I work well with patients struggling with life transitions, relationship issues, anger, depression, and anxiety. As a psychologist, I've learned through my training, research, and personal experience that there is no such thing as "one-size fits all" when it comes to therapy and change.

Are you barely making it through each day? Maybe it's because you are filled with self-doubt, working too hard to please others. Or perhaps anxious and ruminating thoughts make it hard to sleep. Anxiety, depression, and trauma affect your body and mind, which can make normal, day-to-day activities difficult. I can support you in untangling the parts of yourself that are tripping you up. The possibility of an easier path exists for you. My clients find relief in being genuinely understood, followed by improved self-worth and increased hopefulness.

In addressing the concerns of my clients, I wish to meet them where they are and then walk with them through the journey of self-discovery and personal empowerment. Critical to this fluid equation is the cultivation of the therapeutic alliance and a sincere focus on deep, empathic listening. I apply the basic elements of mindfulness, whole person perspective, and cognitive behavioral therapy in a series of counseling sessions that aim to guide the client toward their desired goals of healing, balance, and improved inner health. The pressures of modern life can lower a shadow of despair over anyone's sense of well-being.

Life stress, fear, and self judgment of not being good enough can hold you back from living your truth and full potential. Perhaps you are struggling with anxiety, depression, a life transition, parenting stress/conflicts, relationship issues, and or feeling disconnected. We work to help you feel safe and connected to dig into self exploration and growth. We provide skillful, compassionate, accepting, genuine, insightful psychotherapy and group work. We look at the entire picture including our mind, body, & heart connection as they are all connected. Offering an approach that is about your overall well being.

I am a licensed psychologist and the clinical director of Sollars and Associates Integrative Counseling and Psychological Services. I have been providing counseling and psychotherapy for over 30 years in the Metro Detroit area and our group practice spans across the state of Michigan. With support, encouragement, and expert insight many people begin to feel better after their first session. Our therapists possess a great deal of experience in evaluating and working with children, adolescents, and families dealing with a variety of issues.

The most important relationships in our lives can often feel the most challenging. Clients who come to me often feel "stuck" in their relationships with a spouse or family member. They seek guidance on how to strengthen their connections, foster closeness, and reduce conflict.
