My Guiding Intentions at Solace in Self Therapy
I started Solace in Self Therapy to create the kind of space I believe people deserve when they are doing the deeply vulnerable work of therapy: a space where they can feel warmly and unconditionally supported as they slow down, turn inward, get curious about themselves, and begin to release the shame they’ve been carrying.
I believe that meaningful, lasting change doesn’t come from someone else telling us who to be or how to live. It comes from developing a deeper relationship with ourselves and learning to access the wisdom, resilience, and capacity for healing that already exists within us.
My role as a therapist is not to be the expert on your life. I see myself as a supporter, facilitator, and collaborator — someone who can offer perspective, ask thoughtful questions, help make sense of what you’re experiencing, and provide a steady, compassionate presence as you find your own way forward.
My hope is that therapy becomes more than a place to feel better in the moment; it becomes a process of creating changes that feel deeply rooted, authentic, and sustainable because they come from within you. I’ll be there to support you, celebrate your growth, and cheer you on along the way.

Yes. Online therapy can offer a comfortable and private setting for doing meaningful therapeutic work. Sessions are conducted through a secure telehealth platform, and you'll want to choose a location where you can speak privately and feel as comfortable as possible. For many people, being in their own familiar environment can actually make it easier to settle in and be themselves.

Research consistently shows that telehealth therapy can be just as effective as in-person therapy for most concerns. For many clients - particularly those with sensory sensitivities, social anxiety, depression anxiety, trauma, or transportation challenges - telehealth may actually be more effective as it removes barriers to consistent attendance and comfort. While some may prefer the experience of meeting with a Washington therapist in person, telehealth offers comparable benefits with added convenience.

Research has found that telehealth therapy can be an effective way to access mental health support, with outcomes comparable to in-person therapy for many concerns.

Finding the right therapist and feeling comfortable enough to be open and vulnerable are important pieces of the process, regardless of whether therapy happens online or in person.

Online therapy is much like in-person therapy, with the added flexibility of meeting from your own space. Sessions are a place to slow down, talk openly, reflect on what’s happening beneath the surface, and work collaboratively toward meaningful change. We may spend time processing emotions and experiences, exploring patterns, clarifying values, or finding practical ways to navigate what’s happening in your life.
