Comprehensive Mental Health
I believe real, lasting healing happens when you feel genuinely seen and secure in the therapeutic relationship. To help you heal safely, I utilize two core frameworks:
Trauma-Informed Care: Together we will examine how past experiences affect you today. Learning how to take back your power from “old” stories, beliefs, and thoughts you have about yourself, others, and the world around you that once held you back.
Internal Family Systems (IFS): We will explore your internal system of “parts,” learning how to treat those parts with compassion and curiosity, rather than shame. As those parts begin to soften, you grow in acceptance towards them and yourself.
In our individual sessions, I provide a warm, collaborative space designed to navigate the complex and beautiful intricacies of your internal family system. As we better understand this system, we create clarity to identify parts, explore relational dynamics that exist between those parts, and establish harmony within your personal system.
Clients have expressed feelings of relief and revelation with this type of therapy. Having achieved a greater understanding of themselves, experienced deeper healing, grown in connection to their physical bodies, and become equipped with tools that can be implemented long after leaving the office.

The military lifestyle carries a unique set of life stressors that only those who have experienced it can fully understand. My personal history in this area, as a former military spouse of sixteen years, creates therapeutic relationship from a place of authentic comprehension.
The profession that carries a great sense of pride in service, can also produce a heavy burden within the service members, spouses, children, and family unit. I highlight the hope that can exist when those burdens are shared and carried together.

Have you ever heard the phrase, “healing takes time.” Intensives offer an extension of therapeutic services, concentrating a typical weekly hour session into a 3-5 hour session, which can take place in a day or over several days, producing quicker results.
Retreats offer an immersive therapeutic experience, integrating concepts that connect the mind, body, and soul. Soothing atmospheres create the backdrop to experience rest, relaxation, and rejuvenation.
