I specialize in providing bereavement and EMDR therapy. I’ve spent time working with the bereaved, clients in crisis, hospice patients, and facilitating group therapy. I'm also trained in providing an intensive grief therapy (www.induced-adc.com), which has helped many overcome prolonged and/or complicated grief. I'm a LMSW under clincial supervision.

Humans are born needing to feel safe, know we are loved and feel worthy of that love. Sometimes life experiences can confuse us and make it difficult to get this need met but The Solstice Center is here to assist you in revealing the peace you have always deserved.

The Solstice Center makes it safe to feel your emotions and work through them.

Life is filled with highs, lows, challenges and pitfalls that can leave the strongest person feeling overwhelmed at times. Events and trauma can cause hurts that leave individuals unaware of the emotional baggage that they are carrying around. As an EMDR trained therapist, I work with clients to help them identify issues that have adversely affected them, help them navigate through life transitions and develop goals to move forward. I have worked with adults and teens with various issues, including anxiety, depression and trauma.

Counseling is a process in which the client and the counselor come to understand and trust one another, work as a team to explore and define present problem situations, develop future goals for an improved life, and work in a systemic fashion toward realizing those goals. I have worked with clients on a variety of issues and have specialized in helping those with depression, anxiety, anger, codependency, sexual addictions, and sexual identity issues. I see such issues as symptoms of something deeper and my goal is to work with you to uncover those root issues.

Hi! While it is necessary to introduce myself according to my education, experience, licensing, and specializations it is more important to let you know that I am a human first. I live life just like you and experience parenting pitfalls, marriage challenges, financial quandaries, and all of the other stuff that life is made of. My role in your life isn’t to tell you what to do or how to do it, it is to use the clinical skills I’ve learned, wisdom I’ve gained, and my clinical experience to help you navigate and heal from the “stuff” in your life.

I am deeply committed to supporting individuals navigating through traumatic events, anxiety, and depression. My goal is to foster a secure and nurturing environment where clients and their families can embark on a journey of healing. Central to my approach is the acknowledgment of the mind/body connection, and I take joy in educating clients about their brains and bodies in a trauma-informed and accessible manner.

Let me commend you on taking a step towards holistic wellness. Dealing with unresolved trauma, struggling with life transitions, or trying to manage anger, stress, depression, and anxiety on your own can make that journey difficult. But you don't have to navigate the journey alone. In a safe, supportive, and collaborative environment, I enjoy assisting clients with learning and discovering ways to effectively navigate difficulties in life. Specialties include: Maternal Mental Health (pregnancy/postpartum, fertility, NICU journeys), EMDR (trauma therapy), Women Issues, other concerns listed above, and supervision for LPC Associates.

Are you feeling stuck? Lost? Overwhelmed? Relational trauma often leaves behind painful emotional triggers, unresolved grief, an a broken sense of who we really are. If you are reading this, there is probably a part of you that is ready to reclaim your best self. There may also be a part of you that is scared. Asking for help isn't easy, but my hope is to partner with clients and create a safe space to heal and hope again.

Do you notice yourself trying to please others or find yourself in unhealthy and destructive relationships and/or work patterns? Do you depend on your partner's happiness to feel ok? Do you think your childhood is impacting the way you relate to others today? Do you notice toxic people showing up in your life and an inability to say no when your boundaries are violated? The good news is that you are noticing these things. That awareness is the stepping off point towards evolving and shedding the layers of who you are NOT, in order to return home to the essence of who you truly are.

Have you been feeling stuck in the same cycle that isn't working? Perhaps you've begun to notice physical symptoms such as headaches, stomach aches or muscle tension in your body. Learning to manage your emotions and how to better communicate with loved ones can help make a big impact in relieving those physical symptoms. Reaching out for support can be the start of your healing journey. I believe that we all have the ability to change our future for the better. While change may not always be easy or comfortable, the reward is almost always worth it. All your wounds deserve healing.

Are you feeling overwhelmed with your current situation? Do you feel your life is out of control? Are your relationships suffering? I believe you have all you need to become empowered to create necessary change and lead an intentional and fulfilled life. Empowerment is achieved through compassion, connection, and guidance, elicited from your perceptions of reality and desired goals. As you embrace your own resilience, value, and self-esteem we begin the healing process. I believe this process starts with the connection of mind, body, and soul which enables you to deeply connect with others.

I am a psychotherapist who has been in private practice for 30 years. Because of the longevity of my work, I have encountered a wide variety of people of all ages and problems. I believe in the dignity and value of each individual person and treat people with empathy, compassion, warmth, and kindness. I give sustained attention during a session and believe that people can solve their own problems with some objective structure and feedback. For my clients' convenience I maintain two offices. Weekend and evening appointments are available.

I strive to help clients find transformative growth through different therapy modalities including EMDR, sandtray, play and attachment therapy. I acknowledge the strength and courage it takes to begin the path of therapy. Whether anxiety, depression, trauma or negative behaviors are impacting you or your child's success and happiness, I can walk along side you and your family in the process of healing. We will work collaboratively to create realistic treatment goals to help you achieve goals for a healthy path of life.

Do you have difficulty maintaining focus and a piece of mind? Are you someone who appears to have it all together, but still find yourself experiencing unpredictable emotions, bouts of anxiety and depression that have strained your relationships? Do you have an internal fear that you will be exposed as broken? Trauma serves as a filter, a lens through which a person views the world. Everything is shaded differently. It can have you feeling like “What’s wrong with me?” and “I’ll never feel at home with myself” or “Why does life have to be this hard?”. So now you’re ready to make a change. You’re ready to feel relief.
