Trained in EMDR and other trauma-focused approaches, I specialize in supporting survivors of sexual trauma, domestic violence, painful childhoods, veterans and military families, and neurodivergent individuals.
It's easy to feel disconnected from ourselves and our loved ones, leading to stress, anxiety, depression, and strained relationships. You might feel exhausted, trapped by the past or caught up in worries about the future. You're tired of questioning yourself and where you're headed. You're ready to feel at ease and confident in yourself. You want to break free from the past and THRIVE rather than just survive.

Perinatal and Postpartum therapy is so important to me and I wish I had had access when I was in my postpartum period. Providing support and a safe place for moms and their partners is one of my main priorities.

Most therapists are good at what they do. They are caring, kind, compassionate, and capable. Most importantly, I hope you find those qualities in the person you are looking for, whether or not I am that person. I believe that what distinguishes me is my 25+ years of experience working with people across the lifespan, from all walks of life, and with many unique and not-so-unique histories, experiences, and concerns that they bring to therapy. My work is about helping people better understand how they got here, where they are at this point in their lives, and where they would like to get to.

Specializing in complex trauma and marriage therapy, I am an Emdria-Certified Approved Consultant, and Gottman-trained. I teach EMDR internationally with the EMDR Institute as a Facilitator. And just as Gottman Method is the only 100% research-based marriage therapy, EMDR is the top choice of the World Health Organization, DOD, and others. Integrating methods such as Ego State Therapy, Action Psychology, TSDP, somatic resourcing, and CBT enables me to treat the complex trauma spectrum. Childhood trauma usually doesn't look like PTSD, and may look like treatment-resistant bipolar II, anxiety, eating disorders, even chronic pain.

I’ve worked in community agencies, private practice, and with military families, giving me experience supporting children, teens, and adults through concerns such as anxiety, depression, trauma, ADHD, grief, self-esteem struggles, and major life transitions.
As a military spouse myself, I understand firsthand how overwhelming transitions, deployments, and constant change can feel. I bring both personal understanding and professional training into my work, including specialized training in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), and Cognitive Processing Therapy.

At the end of the day, relationships matter & I believe they are at the core of our success. How we interact with one another in every setting & how we treat ourselves is crucial to navigating through life. When we love ourselves, we are able to think positively, create & reach goals, take responsibility, understand things we can & cannot control, treat ourselves with compassion & have confidence. When one of these relationships if lacking or does not exist, we are suseptible to a plethora of mental health & life struggles.

It takes a lot of courage to acknowledge that you are wanting or needing help and then acting on that decision. It's a decision people usually make when they feel like they are in crisis or stuck in a relationship, job, or some other situation. Making this decision is a step towards change, because you are acknowledging that you want or need something in your life to go in a different direction. I provide individual and couple therapy with a focus on building healthy connections with ourselves and others. I also emphasize healthy relationships between our mind, body and spirit to develop and strengthen our authentic selves.

I have extensive experience working with members of the military and military families, substance use issues, people who have experienced domestic abuse, and family difficulties.
Hi there! I am the therapist behind KD Therapy. I value people, I value relationships, and I believe none of us can do this alone. I spent years working with domestic violence survivors in rural North Carolina and active-duty service members during and after the Iraq and Afghanistan campaigns. I have also worked with patients who have experienced and survived cardiac events. Through all of it, one thing became clear to me: suffering is suffering. The circumstances may look different, but the human experience beneath is the same, and the way people cope with it deserves compassion, not judgment.

You’re capable. Responsible. Successful in many areas of your life. But internally, you may feel stuck — carrying stress, anxiety, relational patterns, or unresolved trauma that doesn’t seem to fully resolve. I specialize in trauma-focused therapy for high-functioning adults who want deeper work — not just coping skills. Many of my clients are professionals, caregivers, leaders, or driven individuals who appear steady on the outside but feel overwhelmed, disconnected, or chronically activated on the inside.

I grew up a girl in poverty, became a military veteran after working in a male dominated field, and found my way to becoming a therapist.
My ideal clients are people who have been carrying a lot for a long time. You might be used to showing up for everyone else while quietly struggling yourself. Maybe you’ve been through trauma, are dealing with stress that won’t let up, or feel stuck trying to figure out how to move forward. A lot of my clients come in feeling overwhelmed, exhausted, or unsure of where to even start. In our work together, I meet you where you are and move at your pace. Together we process what you’ve been through, build practical coping skills, and create healthier patterns so you can feel more grounded, in control, and able to move forward.

Life can sometimes feel overwhelming, leaving us stuck or disconnected from ourselves and the people who matter most. I work with individuals, couples, and families navigating anxiety, depression, grief, and difficult patterns that often impact relationships. Together, we’ll create a compassionate space where all can be understood and explore new ways of moving forward. I believe we need healthy relationships to live healthy lives and that our stories, struggles, and strengths are deeply connected to the systems we are part of. In therapy, we will utilize these connections to create lasting change through evidence based practices.

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.
