Life Experience That Informs My Work
Some things in life can only be understood by living them. I’ve walked alongside military families as a Navy spouse and sister to an Air Force NCO. I’ve served as a volunteer emergency responder and professional lifeguard, and I grew up on horse farms and campgrounds — experiences that shaped my resilience, empathy, and sense of service.
Specialties & Populations Served
Military Individuals & Families
I understand the realities of military life — from changing duty stations to the uncertainty of deployments and shutdowns. I provide specialized support for service members and their families.
Family of Origin Trauma
Whether you’re processing generational trauma or navigating complex family dynamics, I help individuals and families find understanding and healing.
Adult Children of Alcoholics & Dysfunctional Families
Family substance use can echo across a lifetime, affecting relationships, self-worth, and coping patterns. I help clients unpack these experiences and rebuild healthy ways of relating.
Financial Stress & Crisis
From job loss to scams and financial manipulation, money stress can take a toll on mental health. I offer practical tools and emotional support to help you stabilize, recover, and regain control.
Children & Families
My background includes roles in the Boys & Girls Club, teen outreach programs, and intensive in-home counseling.
I work with children and parents to build stronger, more connected relationships.
Adults in Transition or At Risk
Whether facing addiction, dual diagnosis, or the aftermath of crisis, I have extensive experience with outpatient and triage-level therapy to support adults through change.
