About My Clients

I specialize in working with individuals, 18+ in the gov’t-connected and global community; service members, veterans, State Dep’t or other 3-letter agencies most can’t talk about, first responders, missionaries, aid workers and (especially) their families. As a veteran myself, I see your lonely nights, stressful deployments, difficulty adjusting, constantly shifting community, decision fatigue, parental guilt and continual first and second-hand trauma as thanks for your service.

My Background and Approach

Everyone’s story and path to wellness is unique, so my trauma-informed approach seeks out what’s best for you. I'm pursuing certification in using Internal Family Systems, so I focus first on getting to know you and all your parts and building trust in your system so you can be the leader you need. As we work together, you’ll learn more about how you’re wired to function best in your life and find ways to overcome the obstacles or trials you’re facing. I love helping people grow in their communication and relationship skills, learn how to handle stress, as well as gain confidence in strategies for facing issues like ADHD, depression, adjustment disorder, anxiety and trauma. With me, you can expect authentic connection and support, a bit of sarcasm and tough love if you need it, spiritual integration if you choose, and mostly, a skilled partner on your path to finally, actually healing!
