You know the loop. You've named it, tracked it, and probably explained it to someone else. Understanding it hasn't been enough, and that isn't a question of how hard you're trying. ADHD stretches the distance between deciding and doing. OCD makes doubt feel urgent and worth answering. Anxiety keeps producing the worst version of what happens next. Each of these has treatment built specifically for it. We find what keeps the loop running and go after that part.

Life can leave us feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or uncertain about what comes next. I work with veterans, military families, adults, teens, couples, and families navigating depression, anxiety, substance use, anger, relationship or family conflict, career concerns, and major life transitions. With over 24 years of military service and extensive experience in leadership, mentoring, and supporting people through personal and professional challenges, I understand how difficult it can be to ask for help. Together, we'll identify what's holding you back and build a path toward meaningful change.

Imagine...feeling more connected and better able to communicate with your child. Perhaps the daily stresses have been piling up and your family needs support to re-balance. Maybe you are worried about your child and you need an experienced therapist to help problem solve. I have worked for over 20 years with children under stress due to school issues, divorce, family crisis, separation or deployment. I utilize a combination of play therapy, mindfulness and CBT to promote changes in thinking and behavior. Play therapy can especially benefit traumatized children, as it allows them to process the trauma at their own pace.

The people I work with have had a variety of negative life experiences with ONE thing in common. It still bothers them days, months or even years since it happened. I help people who feel like "I should be over this by now" and are tired of feeling overwhelmed by the images, feelings and sensations that come up unexpectedly day or night. The people I work with often say "I just want to stop thinking about it". They often feel shame because they feel something is wrong with them because they can't "get over it".

Young children and teens struggle with life changes, big emotions, anxiety, depression, low self esteem, trauma, family conflict, and personal stressors just as much as the rest of us. Parents often feel helpless, overwhelmed, and worried about how to help their kids. You are trying to make sure they are happy and develop healthy relationships but it’s hard to know how to do this with everything else that’s going on in life. Everyone, including kids, needs a safe space to work through things. Together we can work toward new perspectives, increased self-compassion, better emotion regulation, and changed behaviors.

Are you hesitant to trying therapy? As a veteran, I know how hard it can be to find the right support. My goal is to help you resolve patterns that no longer serve you and create practical steps toward lasting change. I specialize in helping individuals and couples navigate the challenges of anxiety, trauma, and relationship stress. I have extensive experience supporting military service members, veterans, and first responders, who often face unique pressures and invisible wounds. I also work with inter-abled couples & help them reconnect after the trauma of injury & navigate complicated dynamics.
