Solstice

Since 2008, I have been dedicated to providing compassionate, evidence-based mental health services to children, adolescents, adults, and families. With over 18 years of experience in behavioral health, I have devoted my career to helping individuals navigate life's challenges while building resilience, emotional wellness, and healthier relationships.

My professional background includes counseling, behavioral intervention, crisis stabilization, family support, foster care services, residential treatment, and community-based mental health. Through ongoing education, clinical training, and practical experience, I have developed expertise in treating individuals experiencing emotional and behavioral concerns, trauma, anxiety, depression, anger management issues, family conflict, and adjustment-related challenges.

What I love most about my work is witnessing personal growth and transformation. Every individual has unique strengths, and I believe that with the right support, guidance, and therapeutic tools, meaningful and lasting change is possible. I am passionate about creating a safe, respectful, and nonjudgmental environment where clients feel heard, valued, and empowered to reach their goals.

My practice stands out because I take a collaborative, person-centered approach that recognizes the unique needs of each client and family. Rather than using a one-size-fits-all approach, I develop individualized treatment strategies that focus on practical skill development, emotional regulation, healthy communication, problem-solving, and long-term success. I work closely with families, caregivers, schools, community partners, and other professionals to ensure continuity of care and positive outcomes.

My areas of specialization include individual counseling, family counseling, behavioral health interventions, crisis intervention, trauma-informed care, anger management, conflict resolution, parenting education, emotional regulation, behavioral modification, and life skills development. I utilize evidence-based therapeutic approaches, including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Solution-Focused Brief Therapy (SFBT), strengths-based interventions, motivational interviewing, psychoeducation, and trauma-informed practices to help clients achieve meaningful and sustainable progress.

My mission is to provide compassionate, ethical, and high-quality mental health services that inspire hope, promote healing, strengthen families, and empower individuals to live healthier, more fulfilling lives.
