" What's next? ".. " Is that all there is? ".. " How am I possibly going to get through this?". Do you feel overwhelmed? Empty? Have things that once gave you pleasure lost their meaning? Do you struggle with addiction issues? Or know someone struggling and whose addiction is affecting your own well- being? I have over 30 years' experience working with individuals, couples, families, and groups in the mental health and addictions field.

Start where you are Do what you can Use what you have “Arthur Ashe” One of my favorite mantras, and as with living life, somedays this may come very easy, and other days it may mean, taking a shower. Our life is fragile, and sacred. If you want to be listened to, and explore how to find your inner voice of self-worth and authenticity, reach out and see if we are a good fit. This is only about you. Keep making yourself a priority, I know this seems like a lot, developing self-compassion, and self-love don’t always come naturally.I’d love to hold space for you, in hopes it opens your path to healing. You are enough.

Have you been trying different approaches but are not able to get the results you want? Dr. Soalt works to get to the root cause of the problem offering alternative treatment strategies. Her unique combination of naturopathic medicine and creative arts therapies allows her to address physiological dysfunction and nutritional needs of the individual as well as developing appropriate strategies to address social, behavioral, emotional, sensory, and cognitive issues. Treatment plans are developed and adapted to the individual patient with an emphasis on treating the whole person to reach optimal wellness.

Good therapy is an investment in yourself. Often times we find ourselves stretched too thin with too many responsibilities and not enough time. We become depressed, anxious, and unsatisfied with our lives. Past experiences and trauma tell us that we are not good enough, not worth the effort, and destined to fail. We are taught to put others first and sacrifice our own needs. We give until there is nothing left, we feel unfulfilled, and yet we keep trying the same old thing, hoping for different results. There is another way, a better way. I want to help you on your journey to becoming the best possible version of yourself.

You won't find any Freudian psycho-babble here. My ideal clients want to move beyond theory and discuss real-world, lasting changes. Sure, we have to glance in the rear-view mirror every once in a while, but it is the road ahead that matters. My clients who have shown the most progress are always the ones with the most drive to make changes in their life to benefit themselves and those around them. We can analyze your thoughts all day and there's a time and a place for that, but we need to analyze the decisions you make and the direction you are taking in life.

Make this year the year you put yourself first. Struggling with anxious thoughts? Feeling lonely or isolated? You don't have to go through it alone, whatever your reason, let's work together to help things feel better. Yes, it may be difficult but you can do it with support. I have over a decade of experience helping individuals navigate through challenges that feel overwhelming, using a combination of evidence-based and solution-focused models, including CBT, DBT, and motivational interviewing. I look forward to hearing from you!

Clients who would most benefit working with us would likely say that they have attachment difficulties, struggle in relationships, would define themselves as people pleasers. They would say that they struggle with rigid thinking, feelings of not good enough, seeking acceptance of others, and perfectionism. If you have noticed that your thoughts, emotions, or behaviors are affecting your ability to have healthy relationships, live a fulfilling life, accomplish your dreams, or heal your past trauma, we can support you to gain the insight, tools and strategies you need to make the changes you are seeking to live a healthier life.

A client should be motivated for change, seeking desired progress from where they are in this moment to where they envision themselves. They are in need of support, guidance and improved skills to address their presenting difficulties which could be overwhelm, increased anxiety, feelings of depression, loss of a spouse or loved one, divorce or other major life event impacting their level of functioning. The individual client should be over the age of 12 but families with smaller children are welcome for sessions as well. Couples work is vital so divorce proof your marriage or relationship in sessions with me.

Satisfy the Soul Therapy is a unique place for those that are seeking a therapist that is ready to listen and provide a safe but laid-back environment to “talk about those things that we never want to say out loud.”
