As a military spouse I am drawn to working with Veterans and their spouses.
“I am not what happened to me, I am what I choose to become”- Dr. Carl Jung. These words inspire me as I work with individuals seeking to heal trauma and manage symptoms of depression, anxiety, and PTSD. I firmly believe adverse events do not have to define us. As a therapist I want to offer you a safe space to do your healing work, evidence-based tools to facilitate growth, and support on your journey.

A large focus of my experience has been around those in jobs/situations with stigma that is high around mental health, and high stress (pilots and flight attendants, military/ veterans, first responders, frontline medical personnel).
Feeling stuck and uncertain? You don't have to do this alone. Sometimes the struggles of day to day life become too much to handle. This may be because of past issues, or a current event that has occurred in life. Both can be equally as difficult to process through without support. This is a place that you can talk openly about things that you worry would burden others. These issues can be anything from major first responder events, to managing time away from family due to job duties, to a major life event. Adjustment can be hard under any circumstance, but is possible.

I have been in practice 16-years and have opened my service area thanks to Google Meet & Facetime. I became a therapist (I have a dual degree in both individual & family therapy) after beginning my own work over 2 decades ago. I see therapy as a tool, a valuable asset that helps us to pull from our history and present the things that work so our future can be everything we want.

You feel stuck and ready for a change. Maybe you’re tired of feeling stressed and anxious. Perhaps your loved ones have noticed your panic, irritability, or how you talk badly about yourself. You might be having a tough time concentrating or enjoying activities like you used to. Maybe you've been called a "people pleaser" and know you should stand up for yourself, but you don’t know how. And maybe, you’re terrified of rocking the boat. You're stuck in a cycle of unhelpful and unhealthy thoughts and behaviors. The things that normally take your mind off aren't working anymore. You're ready to break free and make a change.

This is always the hard part, finding a counselor that feels right for you, and the initial discomfort in meeting them for the first time. I will endeavor to make this part as seamless as possible while striving to see the world through your eyes. We often have the idea that we must solve our problems alone or we have somehow failed. I believe that we can thrive when we are able to discuss our problems with someone we trust. My hope is that I can provide a space where you feel comfortable discussing your concerns. You've come this far, all that's left is to take those first few, difficult steps.

Immediate in person or telehealth available. Teenagers, Couples, Adults, TraumaWhen you feel you can’t achieve anything, your first reaction is to stay away from people. Then it becomes worse, goals you had before become impossible and the idea of loved ones could do better without you start to surface. Your mind tells you that the situation is hopeless and you are worthless. You drift to past experiences where you cringe physically and are filled with regret. Life becomes extremely boring due to you letting your fear control your life. Meeting new people and having new experiences doesn’t happen. You think you’re better off alone.

Unapologetically human-That’s my motto. Each person is simply trying to navigate life's ebbs and flows as best as they can. Societal pressures and life stressors can be an immense weight to carry alone. Trauma, isolation, depression, and anxiety add additional weight that can be unbearable to manage. Viewing each individual as a whole and unique person, I believe that fostering authenticity and self-awareness is vital for healing and wellness. Imagine waking up feeling fully rested and greeting the day with wonder and curiosity. That's what I aim for: to instill a hopeful, yet realistic perspective and unearth your true self.

Hi, I'm Nici, and I'm glad you are here. I started Crown of Hope Counseling after six years of experience as a chaplain at a trauma level one hospital, feeling utter heartbreak at never knowing how the grieving individuals I served were coping after the immediate grief season. Grief extends far beyond the few days after loss, and I am passionate about walking with you on the journey to healing and hope. I believe in wholeheartedly continuing the legacy of the ones who have passed. Their death is not a period, but a comma— A story that continues to unfold with an abundance of love.

I have been married for 17 years and have 3 adult step children, a son-in-law and 3 grandchildren. I also have 2 cats that are important members of the family. Family is something I view to be a living entity, challenging at times, and I have come value over the years. My life experiences have given me insight and perspectives that allow me to make unique connections with my clients. I learned that life is ever changing. I have come to realize is that during times when we feel defeated, it does not mean we are unable to change the outcome or our quality of life in the future. Nor, is it too late to create the life we do want.

Veterans Therapists
Why is mental health important for veterans and the military?
Veterans are more likely to face mental health challenges than the general public, and such mental health challenges can make it difficult for them to navigate day-to-day life. Improved mental health can result in better interpersonal relationships, lower levels of stress, and decreased dependence on substances, such as drugs or alcohol, for many veterans. Addressing common mental health conditions can also help facilitate recovery from physical health challenges that are faced by many veterans, such as chronic pain, physical injury, or poor sleeping patterns. Therapists trained in working with veterans can help address these concerns and help improve veteran mental health.
How can veterans get access to mental health support?
There are many resources for veterans to get mental health support, including through the VA or through their primary care doctor. Many service personnel are eligible for free or reduced-cost mental health counseling through the VA, depending on their service history and current income. Veterans can also utilize online directories, such as Psychology Today, or nonprofit organization resources like the Wounded Warrior Project, to find a therapist or other healthcare professional that specializes in their specific mental health needs. Veterans may also benefit from community-based groups that facilitate social connection and/or address specific concerns, such as Alcoholics Anonymous.
What type of therapy is best for veterans?
Veterans may benefit from multiple types of therapy, depending on what mental health challenges they are facing. Veterans seeking therapy for anxiety or depression may benefit from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) or Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT), which encourage clients to understand how their thought patterns influence their behavior. Veterans with PTSD may seek other more specialized forms of therapy to treat trauma symptoms, such as EMDR or exposure therapy. Many veterans and military personnel may also benefit from family or couples counseling to address the stress and adjustment challenges that can be associated with military life.
Can therapy for veterans help with trauma and PTSD?
Therapy can be highly effective in helping veterans with trauma and PTSD. Therapists specializing in veteran mental health often have extensive training and experience helping veterans navigate symptoms of trauma and can teach clients coping techniques to handle common symptoms associated with trauma and PTSD. Some therapists may use talk therapy as their primary approach, while others utilize more structured therapy modalities in sessions, such as EMDR. Veterans can try multiple therapy modalities to find the best fit for them. Therapists can also help make referrals or connect clients with available resources, such as VA benefits, to help address other life concerns.
