, LGBTQIA, Veterans, Autism (Neurodiversity lens) and the intersection of these identities with trauma and different diagnoses or life events.
All are welcome! I work the most with individuals and couples that are navigating multiple intersecting identities and mental health concerns. As a trans veteran, I find it easy to connect with members of the LGBTQ and veteran communities. I can help members navigate life and the nuances that come with those identities by drawing on experience, training, and education. Clients often find that not having to explain things that feel basic really makes therapy accessible. This baseline can help the navigation of trauma and PTSD to feel less dark and lonely.

I've worked with hundreds of couples, veterans, and even schizophrenia.

These issues are overwhelming and difficult to overcome resulting in unsafe communication.

Army (9 yrs), experiencing combat and loss, living through natural disasters, working with and supporting military veterans, working as a therapist with juveniles for the State of Utah, and overcoming many of life's personal obstacles.
Mental illness itself occurs from the interaction of multiple genes in the body and other environmental factors such as stress, abuse, neglect, or an event, which can influence, or trigger an illness in a person. Therapy can help treat mental illness and help one overcome emotional and behavioral problems that tend to disrupt normal functioning.

I love working with all adults, including veterans and senior citizens.
I came to the United States as a refugee from Poland during the cold war. During my first few years in America, I lived in abject poverty and experienced a variety of traumatic events. These experiences led me to develop empathy for all who suffer. After a long healing journey of my own, I decided to become a therapist to help others.

I have experience with working with Veterans, health care professionals, first responders, and trauma survivors.
You show up. You function. You lead. You’ve done what it takes to keep going—at work, at home, and in your community. But privately, you might feel overwhelmed, on edge, or stuck in patterns you can’t break. Intrusive thoughts, irritability, sleep issues, or always feeling “on” might feel like your normal—but deep down, you know it shouldn’t have to be this way.
Maybe you’ve spent years in therapy, talked through your story, and heard “trauma-informed” more times than you can count. But nothing has truly changed. You’re not broken—you’re just tired of surface-level support that doesn’t get to the root.

In my mind, the ideal client is someone who has recognized that some aspect of their life is no longer working and is ready to take steps to restore balance. This person is seeking help to get their life back on track. I enjoy working with a variety of clients, including individuals, couples, and families. The people who seek counseling to validate that change is necessary, and who desire professional guidance to collaborate in identifying their natural strengths (or at least their potential capabilities) to overcome difficulties, tend to be goal-oriented. These clients are especially exciting to work with and a safe space to be in.

Life often causes deep, troubled feelings (depression, anxiety, loneliness, worthlessness) or conflicts, resentments, or emotional distance with our loved ones. We feel hurt, put down, traumatized, and wounded by those around us and don’t know how to heal or become emotionally free. Kids and teens often feel like they don’t measure up or their feelings matter, causing deep emotional problems. Couples and families can’t communicate and connect in meaningful and healthy ways causing tension and heartache in home life. I help all of these through highly skilled emotional-based techniques for children, youth, adults and families.

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.
