About My Clients

As a Navy Veteran, I love working with fellow Veterans navigating the transition to civilian life, invisible stress, or feeling disconnected from who they are outside of service. I also specialize in supporting mothers in the trenches of postpartum or menopause who are exhausted from trying to hold it all together. If you’re tired of wearing armor, carrying everyone else’s weight, or chasing the "perfect" version of yourself, you’ll feel right at home here.

My Background and Approach

As a Navy Veteran, I bring firsthand understanding of military culture, service-related stress, and transitioning to civilian life—meaning you never have to waste energy translating your background. Alongside my military experience, I specialize in supporting mothers navigating postpartum and the physical and emotional shifts of menopause. As a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in Texas and Maine, I am EMDR trained and draw from trauma-informed, person-centered, CBT, and solution-focused approaches. For you, this means therapy isn't stiff, robotic, or focused on unrealistic "perfection." By pairing clinical tools that help reprocess stress and shift unhelpful patterns with directness and grounded humor, I offer a space where you can drop the armor, build practical momentum, and finally feel seen as your real self.

My Personal Beliefs and Interests

At the core of my work is a simple belief: healing doesn't require you to become a polished, "perfected" version of yourself—it starts when you finally have room to be human. Having served in the Navy, I deeply value integrity, resilience, and showing up without pretense. I am fiercely passionate about suicide prevention, breaking mental health stigma in the Veteran community, and challenging the cultural pressure placed on mothers to do it all silently. As a white woman and Licensed Clinical Social Worker, I am committed to anti-racism and providing an LGBTQ+ affirming, inclusive space where all identities are respected and safe. Outside of sessions, I value real connection, dry humor, and protecting the quiet moments that keep us grounded. My goal is to offer a space where you can drop the weight you’ve been carrying and show up as your whole self.
