I get it. It’s midnight and you’re here—searching for help, trying to make sense of the pain and silence you’ve carried for far too long. Whether you're a woman in uniform, a mother navigating life post-incarceration, or both—your story is real. As a woman who served in both the military and federal law enforcement, I understand what it means to survive in systems built to break you. I also know the pain of having no one to turn to who truly understands. You’ve carried the guilt, the grief, the trauma—and still, you rise. But you shouldn’t have to rise alone.
You’ve been told to move on, stay strong, and be grateful—but healing doesn’t happen in silence. You’ve been judged, dismissed, or forced to suppress your pain just to survive. Whether you’re coming home from incarceration or still serving others while carrying your own wounds—your healing matters. You don’t have to be perfect to deserve peace.
This is a safe space for women who have survived systems, trauma, and silence. You are not broken or defined by your past—and you don’t have to carry it alone. Whether you’re a mother, survivor, or reclaiming your voice, your story matters. I’m here to support your healing with care, compassion, and respect for your journey.

I often utilize Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) in my practice. In your first session, we'll discuss what brought you to therapy and identify the best approaches to facilitate your progress. With CBT, we'll explore how your thoughts impact your emotions and experiences. During treatment, I'll help you learn techniques to challenge and change those thoughts, improving your emotional well-being.
