Your mind never shuts off.
You’ve reflected, Googled coping skills, maybe even been to therapy before. You have insight and awareness, but still feel stuck. You replay conversations, second-guess yourself, and hold yourself to impossibly high standards, yet somehow still feel like you’re not quite “good enough.”
From the outside, you seem put together. Internally, you feel anxious, overwhelmed, or just tired of carrying it all.
It’s exhausting.

I use evidence-based approaches including Acceptance and Commitment Therapy ( ACT), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), and trauma-informed care.
Many of the women I work with are carrying invisible burdens—body shame, anxiety, trauma, infertility, birth trauma, postpartum struggles, grief, or the exhaustion of constantly caring for everyone else. If you've lost connection with yourself along the way, you're not alone. Through compassionate, specialized care, I help women heal, rebuild trust in themselves, and find lasting restoration beyond simply surviving.

Life can feel overwhelming when anxiety, stress, self-doubt, relationship challenges, or major life transitions begin to pile up. My goal is to create a supportive, encouraging space where adolescents and young adults feel heard, empowered, and capable of creating meaningful change.

The most difficult part of counseling is asking for and admitting that we need help. Sometimes we lack the vocabulary necessary to identify what is wrong, sometimes we feel overwhelmed by stress and struggle, or perhaps we feel invisible and unheard or silenced. I would be honored to walk alongside you as you face these types of difficulties, to help provide clarity in the confusion, comfort in the trouble.

As a therapist, I bring authenticity and humor into our time together. I aim to create a space where you feel comfortable being yourself and open to expressing your genuine feelings/thoughts. Emotions can be intense and I am here to help you control them. I will strive to name and provide the words to empower you to speak about your experiences and to help reduce any shame, guilt, or stigma you may be carrying. Although those emotions are a heavy burden to carry alone, I look forward to helping share the weight and help you feel more confident and in control moving forward.

I’m what some might call a “woo-woo” therapist—deeply attuned to the spiritual and intuitive dimensions of healing—while firmly rooted in the science of what makes therapy effective. At the core of my work is compassionate, regulated presence. With me, you’re not just sitting with a trauma-informed professional, but with a human actively engaged in his own growth, self-awareness, and self-love journey.

Often, people feel like they have different parts of themselves inside that are pulling in different directions. It can be challenging to sort through it all alone. If you feel depleted, tired, confused, or overwhelmed, a good therapist can help you slow down and put the pieces together. If you feel reactive and on edge or feel like running away, or just plain shut down, good therapy can help you restore connection with yourself and others. And if you feel like traditional talk therapy is not enough, then you have definitely come to the right place!

Reaching out for help takes courage, and it’s one of the bravest steps you can take. I work with children and adults to explore how past experiences may still be shaping life today. Instead of asking, “What’s wrong with me?” I encourage shifting the question to “What happened to me?”, a gentler, more compassionate place to begin healing. Along the way, I’ll share practical tools to help manage stress, regulate emotions, and support your overall well-being.

Due to my extensive medical background as a nurse and as a stage IV metastatic breast cancer survivor since 2015, I know the ins and outs of procedures, surgeries, and other conventional practices. I also know a great deal about natural or alternative modalities to help move through this arduous process. I have also been a Christian for over 30 years and have homeschooled three children. I enjoy working with individuals who are keen to learn more about healing, not just mentally, but emotionally, physically, and spiritually. They want the light bulb to come on, and I listen while the client decides how to make impactful changes.

I use a combination of Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Compassionate Inquiry with clients who have addiction issues.
Now serving Tennessee and Colorado residents. Let’s be honest-therapy is uncomfortable! There’s no getting around that squirmy “I can’t believe I have to tell this stranger my problems” feeling. The only way to make progress is to move through those feelings. I am here to be by your side and guide you through the numerous emotions that come up in session. I admire my clients for their ability to face the challenges of therapy with veracity, strength, and sometimes humor. I’m here to make the therapy process marginally less uncomfortable by providing a safe, non-judgmental space along with my therapy dog Jasper.

My passion for helping others was seeded at an early age and has developed with time and experience. Since my service as a medic in the military and throughout various roles over the years in the behavioral health field, my passion has evolved into a calling and has granted me the opportunity to help others all across the lifespan who experience difficult and complex challenges, such as mental health, criminal justice involvement, trauma, grief and loss, adjustment issues, among other life stressors and challenges.
