Services
At Solace Family Counseling, we believe that there are moments along life's journey that are best traveled with a partner.
It is our hope to provide you with the support you need to find healing in life's harsher moments.
I imagine that the reasons to enter a healing journey are as varied as the sojourners that travel it.
These initial steps to invite another individual to walk beside you in moments that tend to be dark, uncertain and often times painful demonstrate a true act of courage.
You may be struggling with your footing on the path - doubting yourself, others or the process to achieving wholeness and peace.

According to EMDRIA (EMDR International Association), EMDR stands for Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing and is a form of therapy that helps people heal from trauma or other distressing life experiences.
EMDR therapy has been extensively researched and has demonstrated effectiveness for trauma.
The truth is.we don't know for sure!
In the same way that an anesthesiologist struggles to define exactly how an anesthetic works, so EMDR therapists do not fully understand the "whys" of EMDR.

In the unfolding drama of the human narrative, there exists parts of the story that will horrify and frighten even the most brave observer.
Trauma, by its very definition is unbearable and intolerable, and it is difficult to assign chapters in our story to abuse, neglect, violence and catastrophe.
However, for those that have experienced it, there is a profound sense that the traces of trauma are left on our minds, emotions, relationships and even physical bodies.
Trauma is stored deeply within, and unless we choose the pathway of acceptance and courage, the trauma will dictate our relationships, our moods and even our thoughts, affecting not only ourselves, but those that are closest to us.

While adults talk out their problems, children "play out their problems".
Play is the language of children, and in speaking that language, we can work to help them discover their own strengths in facing the sometimes harsh realities of life.
Play is the means by which children express and learn themselves.
It helps children to develop an accurate sense of both their strengths and limitations and helps to master emotions and impulses.
Play connects children to others in a positive manner and aids in learning skills they will further develop throughout their lifespan.

It is the rare teenager that enters a counselor's office with fists in the air, excited to start therapy.
For those of you who have teenagers, the image is almost humorous.
In no other context is it more obvious that counseling, by its very nature, is weird.
To talk with someone you have just met about things are significant and meaningful to you - things you have not yet disclosed to your closest friends - is weird.
At Solace Family Counseling, we start from there.
We understand that the greatest asset in adolescent therapy is the relationship that is formed between the counselor and the client.
