Optimal mental health includes 5 basic concepts. Balance is achieved through adding and subtracting parts of your life that are healthy and unhealthy. Being open minded and letting go of toxic habits is vital to growth. Grieving loss of yourself, others and ideals offers you an opportunity to heal. Recognizing how ready you are for change and beginning the natural process of feelings release without judgment is the final step in your journey to optimal mental health. You know you best and I invite you to begin to listen to your body, mind and soul.

I specialize in identifying patterns in relationships and helping you utilize your own strengths you already have to achieve your mental health goals. I have several years of helping Clients become mindful of their emotional piggy banks and learning how to keep them full for life's unexpected emotional withdrawals.

I have been blessed in this lifetime to obtain the title of Mother. I have experienced raising a family aboard military bases and having a partner whose work took him away from the family system. I have experience in working with family members of post traumatic stress. I have a current MFT license in California and Tennessee.

I work mostly with military families who, while are often resilient, sometimes also suffer secondary post traumatic stress. I work with couples that have high stress, low tolerance and barely time to catch their breath. I do not tell you what you want to hear, but rather what I think will be helpful. Therapy is a team effort so I expect to collaborate with you. Therapy is not cookie cutter.

I typically use dialectical behavior therapy and see things through this lens. This includes being mindful, expanding tolerance for discomfort, being effective in relationships and emotion regulation. If there is a hiccup, it is usually through one of these avenues that we can find solutions. I also use cognitive processing therapy for people who suffer post traumatic stress injuries."
