I am a trauma-informed therapist, military veteran, and sports coach, and many clients come to me facing trauma, anxiety, depression, stress, athlete anxiety, or relationship difficulties.
My approach is collaborative, with specializations in IFS, CPT, TF-CBT, DBT, Schema Therapy, art therapy, and somatic tools. Together, we’ll make sense of your past, build coping skills, and promote lasting growth. My own lived experience in foster care deepens my empathy and understanding for those navigating trauma, identity, and belonging.

I am a military veteran.
If I were born at any other time, a healer or a community helper. Helping people is my mission. I became a therapist because of my interest in hearing people's stories and working on the most essential part of our bodies: our minds. I think it is easy to find yourself in a hopeless situation, not understanding how you got here or where to even start unpacking all the things that made this mess possible. I've witnessed many people say, "I don't know who I'd be without it." This is a chance to discover with me who that person is and what you want to achieve out of life. I believe change is possible.

I have extensive experience in working with couples, parents, and trauma survivors including active duty soldiers, veterans, and adults struggling with a devastating childhood.
At some point, everyone has experienced some sort of emotional distress whether it be the illness or death of a loved one, the pain of a divorce, a traumatic experience from childhood, or even the demands of everyday life. If you're wondering if you may need some help to get through something new or something from the past, you probably do. I want to help.
I am extremely dedicated to helping my clients heal, improve their lives, and reach their own personal goals. If you're concerned that you might be "too much" for a psychotherapist, you're not. You deserve the chance to heal from your emotional distress.

My ideal clients have recently experienced a traumatic event(s) and need a safe, supportive, and knowledgeable environment to process and heal. I guide clients through this stage by helping regulate the nervous system and stabilize and adjust life to prioritize functionality through symptoms. I help clients process their trauma deeply, appropriately, and safely using evidence-based trauma treatments, including EMDR. They have experienced complex trauma (childhood trauma, abuse, neglect, relationship trauma, trauma related to ongoing war/natural disasters/mass causality, etc.)

When life throws “one-thing-after-another” at you the struggle wears on us. Our relationships suffer, conflicts can occur, communication may shut down, and we become more isolated and feel alone. When this happens, you become overwhelmed, anxious, depressed and mentally-emotionally paralyzed at times. The constant stress makes it hard to stay motivated and focus on what’s important. You question all your decisions, big and small, and even simple things in life feel hard. You feel numb and stuck, blocked by feelings of helplessness and hopelessness, when all you really want is to enjoy life, get balanced again and be at peace.

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.
