About My Clients

Hello! I'm so glad you're here! Do you ever feel stuck between your past and present—struggling with anxiety, self-doubt, or relationships that leave you questioning your worth? Growing up with parents who couldn’t meet your emotional needs, or navigating narcissistic relationships, can leave lasting wounds that show up as stress, confusion, or feelings of “never being enough”. Let's untangle those patterns together in a supportive space where you'll feel nurtured, find confidence, and strength!

My Background and Approach

I draw from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), mindfulness, Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT), Internal Family Systems (IFS), and Expressive Arts to create a flexible, personalized approach. I am certified in the Safe and Sound Protocol (SSP) to calm the nervous system and trained in Accelerated Resolution Therapy (ART), which helps reframe painful memories without reliving them. Together, we’ll focus on healing, balance, and lasting well-being. As a former military spouse, I understand the intricate culture and numerous stressors (deployments, marriage issues, hard family dynamics, loss of identity, etc.) and challenges for active duty families and veterans. I am passionate about supporting these amazing heroes and their families! As a parent of an elementary age child, experiences have taught me that parenting is not for the faint of heart! I offer parent coaching founded in attachment and connection!

My Personal Beliefs and Interests

I believe that life’s most difficult moments are not just obstacles to "muscle through" but opportunities to discover who we truly are and what we are capable of. If you grew up without the nurturing and emotional support that you needed and desired or are currently in a relationship that requires you to silence your needs to “keep the peace” and carry responsibilities that are not yours to shoulder, please know that I have been in your shoes. You may feel trapped in cycles of self-doubt, confusion, shame, and blame. Your nervous system has been wired to be on “high alert” and often scans for danger, braces for criticism, or questions your self worth. Our body still remembers what our mind wants to forget. You don’t have to carry this weight alone anymore. I am here to encourage and support you as you explore these challenges with openness and courage. Healing is not about erasing your story, but about reclaiming your voice, discovering your strengths, and defining your peace!
