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.

In person or virtual sessions. Specializing in eating disorders, anxiety, and depression. I am also a Registered Dietitian (RD). It's my passion to help people gain control over and heal from disordered eating, anxiety, and depression so they can live their best life. We live in a society that dictates what size we should be, which drives us toward unhealthy habits in an effort to measure up. This can lead to disordered eating habits such as yo-yo dieting, binge eating, poor body image, and self-criticism, among others. I believe in focusing on the underlying causes of how food is being used to manage stress, emotions, and life.

Being human is hard. Life with all it's twist and turns can be so confusing, what's right today is wrong tomorrow. Quite possibly you have been thinking about finding a counselor for some time and have been "fighting" societal stigma of mental health services. Telling yourself that you are fine, no one will understand, or feeling shame for needing help. One of my favorite quotes about healing is..."Healing doesn't mean the damage never existed. It means the damage no longer controls our lives."

Feeling overwhelmed, anxious, or emotionally exhausted—even though you “seem fine” on the outside?
I work with adults who feel emotionally overwhelmed, stuck in survival mode, or worn down from carrying too much for too long. Many of my clients are high-functioning professionals or caregivers who struggle with anxiety, stress, trauma, or feeling disconnected from themselves.
