A place to pause, get curious, and find your way forward.

Welcome to the Solace Seat

We all carry stories. Some are tender, some tangled, and some are still waiting to be told.

At the Solace Seat, I offer a warm, collaborative space to pause, take a breath, and find your way back to yourself. I am especially passionate about working with individuals navigating trauma, grief and loss, life transitions, anxiety and OCD, body image and self-esteem, and the many emotional changes that can come with the perinatal season.

Whether you’re working through something that happened long ago, trying to make sense of what’s happening right now, or simply feeling ready for something to change, therapy can be a place to better understand yourself and the patterns that have shaped you. From there, we can continue building a life worth living.

My Approach to Therapy

I don’t believe therapy should look the same for everyone. Your experiences, your nervous system, your relationships, your history, and your goals all shape what you need from therapy. My role is to meet you where you are, help you understand what’s happening beneath the surface, and work alongside you to find what actually helps.

My approach is trauma-informed, evidence-based, holistic, and deeply collaborative. I believe in balancing insight with practical tools so that we can understand why you respond the way you do while also learning new ways to respond. I pay attention not only to thoughts and emotions, but also to the body, the nervous system, relationships, patterns, and the parts of you that may have learned to protect you along the way.

I also believe therapy should be paced with care. We don’t have to rush into the hardest parts of your story before you’re ready. Sometimes the most important work is learning how to feel grounded, safe, and supported enough to begin.

I draw from a variety of therapeutic approaches and tailor treatment to the person in front of me. Some of the modalities I may incorporate include:

EMDR • Internal Family Systems (IFS) • Somatic Experiencing • Exposure & Response Prevention (ERP/EXRP) • Acceptance & Commitment Therapy (ACT) • Solution-Focused Therapy

When requested, I can also incorporate faith or spirituality into therapy in a way that respects your beliefs, values, and personal journey.
