Why This Matters

Military service shapes every layer of life: identity, relationships, the nervous system, and the soul. The challenges don’t end when deployment ends—or when the uniform comes off.
If you’re carrying stress, grief, moral injury, relationship strain, or a loss of direction—you're not alone, and you're not broken. It means you’re human.

Why Work With Me

  • Veteran Clinician – I have served and understand the culture, language, and unspoken codes of military life.

  • Over 20 Years of Clinical Experience – Working with trauma, transition, identity, and relational healing.

  • Tier One Trained Provider through Star Behavioral Health Providers – Advanced, evidence-informed training specific to military and veteran mental health needs.

  • Mindfulness & Contemplative Approach – Not a “one-size-fits-all” model, but a deeper way of working that supports nervous system regulation, emotional clarity, and meaning-making.

Healing doesn’t come from fixing what’s wrong—it comes from turning toward what’s been carried, and opening a path toward a new direction.

Common Reasons Veterans and Families Seek Support

  • Ongoing anxiety or stress that doesn't shut off

  • Sleep disturbance, hypervigilance, or irritability

  • Moral injury or lingering images and memories

  • Loss of identity after leaving service or retiring

  • Relationship strain or emotional distancing

  • Difficulty reconnecting with civilian life and purpose

  • Grief, survivor’s guilt, or isolation

  • Invisible injuries—emotional, spiritual, relational

You don’t need to be in crisis to seek help. Many begin therapy at a crossroads—when something inside says, “I can’t keep doing it this way.”

The Therapeutic Approach

My work is grounded in contemplative psychotherapy and mindfulness-based therapy, a compassionate and relational approach that:

  • Helps you face what brought you here with clarity and dignity

  • Supports nervous system stability without forcing vulnerability

  • Honors your strength while attending to unseen wounds

  • Creates space to turn toward a new direction—rooted in purpose, presence, and connection

This is not about being “fixed.” It’s about reclaiming your own compass.

For Families & Loved Ones

Military service affects the entire household. Spouses, partners, and children often carry their own forms of stress, confusion, or grief.
Your experience matters. Whether you're supporting someone who served or trying to reconnect after time apart, therapy can provide a place to understand what’s happened—and rebuild connection from a place of honesty and compassion.

A Message to Those Who Have Served

You answered the call to serve. Now, it may be time to let yourself be supported. There is strength in turning inward—not as retreat, but as an act of reclaiming your life.

“If you are standing at a crossroads, therapy can help you face what brought you here—and turn toward where you want to go next.”
