Did your spouse, friend, family member, military command, or veterans’ reunion group suggest that maybe you should talk to someone? Have you been struggling for quite some time but have told yourself that you’re fine? Well, I’m happy that you’ve found me. As a veteran spouse, I take a very active approach with clients. I find that the most effective interventions bring about self-awareness and intentionality. I believe that therapy should be about finding the best version of ourselves, while letting go of the parts of ourselves that no longer serve us.

Now more than ever people like you are asking how they fit into the world. You may have questions about yourself, whether parts of yourself are lost or forgotten, leaving you isolated or lonely, and you deserve to explore these challenges in a safe environment with an unbiased professional. I am passionate about and experienced in providing LGBTQIA+ affirming care alongside trauma-informed, sex-positive psychoeducation to young adults and couples. I believe the power of healing rests within our connection to others in relationships, especially the necessary trust developed within the client-therapist dynamic.

Many people are often taught from an early age to stuff feelings. It takes courage to challenge the status quo and start the therapy process. If you're in a transitional time, whether phase of life change, a move, shift in identity, or you're generally struggling to feel stable it is often hard to know where to go next. While this is normal and scary, you don't have to go through the process alone. I work with my clients to acknowledge unhelpful patterns and find healthier ways to execute being the best version of themselves. I work with veterans, healthcare professionals and parents.
