A trauma focused approach has been proven effective in treating clients with unique needs, such as those with histories of PTSD, abuse and neglect, exposure to domestic violence, and the like.
I believe that while nobody can go back and change the past, anyone can make a change and go in a more positive direction. It is never too late to embark on a new path. As your therapist, I will guide and assist you through a healing process that balances your emotional, mental, and spiritual being. My counseling technique is largely cognitive-behavioral, which means that that one's thought patterns contribute to feelings and behaviors, and in changing a person's thought processes, we can make improvements and achieve goals.

I am a neurodivergent therapist, a military spouse, and a former GS civilian with the Army. I bring years of heartfelt experience with military and aviation cultures, understanding the profound impact of frequent relocations, absences, toxic environments, and enduring challenges like PTSD and anxiety. My clients deeply appreciate the confidentiality I offer as they seek to process their experiences without having to explain any jargon. I also extend my support to neurodiverse clients, especially those with ADHD, helping them tackle their anxiety and overwhelm as they navigate their unique challenges and communication styles.

I am passionate about working with those who feel as if they'll never break free from their past. Those who struggle with and can't seem to escape the same patterns, thoughts, and feelings. Maybe you logically -know- something wasn't your fault, but it still -feels- like it was, or you're tired of not feeling "good enough". I take special care in gently creating a safe space where you can be your authentic self, while honoring your unique journey. I have specialized training and experience working with those impacted by trauma, and guiding them towards healing.

You’ve tried talk therapy & it hasn’t helped... Talking about yourself may seem overwhelming when you have so much anxiety, past memories and feel distanced from those you care about. At work, it’s hard for you to hit that ‘off button.’ At home, you stay up late getting caught up in the thoughts of your past or replaying a conversation in your head. Your stress has caused yet another panic attack. Each week is so draining as you hold tension in your shoulders, a swirling spiral of stomach yuck, or feel keyed up as you scroll mindlessly on your phone. You crave relief & direction and haven’t been able to find it anywhere else.

You have just taken those first steps to creating positive change for your mental and emotional health. Fantastic! Getting to understand ourselves is hard enough, learning how to communicate clearly and navigate human relationships is ten times harder. Talk therapy is an effective tool to help us understand what our needs really are, where our negative thoughts come from, and how to express to others what we are feeling and perceiving. If you struggle with trusting your thoughts, feelings, and perceptions, I can help you untangle those webs, and find a place of peace and balance in yourself.

Some people say everything happens for a reason. How can that be if what happened broke you? Sure, you can put on a happy face and pretend that things are alright, but on the inside you know things are anything but alright. You may find yourself crying uncontrollably, experiencing extreme rage, or drowning your sorrows with destructive behaviors. Let's work together to get things straightened out. Emotions are hard to handle, particularly when accompanied by past traumas. We feel overwhelmed, underprepared, and generally inept to handle what life is throwing our way. Yet, we know we must move on.
