As a prior service medic, disabled veteran, military spouse, and mother, I bring humility and compassion to each session. I feel it is a privilege to witness your development in counseling, where you gain insights into your sense of self, work to heal past wounds, and find new ways to lean into your own strengths to develop overall wellness.

Everyone’s story is different, and it is often very difficult to find a therapist that not only has compassion but has such a plethora of knowledge to share. She really listens and tries to provide information that is pertinent to my needs.
