Engaging in therapy offers a safe and supportive environment leading to a journey of healing, self-discovery, and education regarding past and current life challenges. Complex emotions can leave you feeling isolated and overwhelmed. As you engage in therapy, these feelings of isolation and stress are likely to decrease as you realize you are not alone and there are active steps to feeling better. My therapeutic process provides genuine support, helpful coping skills, and an action plan.
The therapeutic process is based on your unique needs.. Common life challenges include coping with stressors, anxiety, depression, grieving, life-transition issues, coping with trauma, parenting issues, coping with chronic pain, domestic abuse, and relationship discord.
I have extensive experience in working with individuals who have served in the military (active duty as well as retirees) and law enforcement. I was raised in a military family. Areas of specialty include pre- and post-deployment issues as well as adjusting to retirement or work stressors. I volunteer my services for the Soldier's Project.
