Life can sometimes feel like an endless cycle of managing, showing up, and doing what needs to be done. You’ve been the steady one for everyone else, and now you’re running on empty in a way that rest alone can’t fix. Burnout, anxiety, and old pain can keep your body on high alert, stealing your sense of peace and control. Therapy gives you space to reconnect, reset, and start creating the change you deserve. You don’t have to have it all figured out, just show up as you are, and we’ll take it from there.

I help individuals, couples, parents, friends, veterans, and families achieve personal growth, strengthen connections, and heal from trauma.
Shoot, you just stayed too late at work, ate a whole bag of chips, and zoned out in front of a screen for hours. Where did the time go? You turn to these habits to help you numb out and feel safe—because right now, nothing does. You haven’t had sex with your partner in months, and that’s the least of your relationship concerns. You feel exhausted and emotionally shut down. IF only you could focus. As a survivor of trauma or sexual abuse, this is a completely normal response. Your coping mechanisms once protected you, but now they’re holding you back from the life you want—one with more connection, presence, and meaning.

There is no such thing as an ideal client. However, ideally you should be at the "Contemplation" stage of change. This stage of change means that you are aware of the pros and cons of change and you intend on addressing the concern between now and the next six months. The cons are probably weighing you down and you are ready to begin facing some sort of dilemma such as an "ultimatum." As your therapist, I would like to help you with this transition. Here is what that means; I believe in YOUR ability as the EXPERT in your life I am only your catalyst.

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.
