Testing limits and boundaries is a natural part of the childhood journey, but when it becomes overwhelming to the family system or at school, it can have a negative impact on family relationships, friendships and the learning process. Behavioral analysis services are designed to help you learn practical strategies to manage maladaptive behaviors and improve overall well-being.
At Purple Lotus Solutions, Inc., we believe that there is not a one size fits all solution to treat mental health concerns. As a team, we will work together to hold space for your heavy emotions and experiences and work to lift them off your shoulders.
Although diagnoses are often necessary, they are viewed as a means to communicate symptoms not a label.
Purple Lotus Solutions, Inc. offers in- person and telehealth services to individuals and families.
We see clients as young as 5 years old and possibly younger with consultation with no age maximum. We truly are a healing place for all.

Prior to discovering my passion in social work, I began my professional career in mortgage and banking. Through this 20-year adventure, I saw the good, bad, and ugly of the financial systems. Through the years, I grew wary of continuing to spend time away from my family in order to make money for a large corporation that did not seem to have empathy for the struggling common man.
In 2018, I decided to switch careers, with the support of my loving family, and pursue my Master's Degree in Social Work. I was inspired to choose social work based on professional and family experiences with substance use concerns, suicidality, as well as improvements I saw that were needed in the school system, from a school social work perspective.
After working as a school social worker for three years, I realized that I could help more children, families and touch more in-need humans working in private practice. I have been working in private practice since 2021, originally with SafeSpace and now as the President and proud owner of Purple Lotus Solutions, Inc.
