Clients I Work With

I work with those who are looking to relieve the unrelenting barrage of stress, worry, anger, and sadness. I specialize in helping people living with anxiety disorders (anxiety, panic, phobias, OCD) and neurodivergence (ADHD, Autism, Bipolar, PTSD) but I work with wide range of symptoms and concerns, including depression, relationship issues, addiction, life transitions, and grief. As a combat veteran, military spouse, and Purple Heart recipient, I understand how busy life can get with daily stress becoming an ever-increasing burden. It might seem like others don't get you, leaving you feeling alone, angry, trapped, or shamed. If you feel worn out, mentally drained, on edge, or like your thoughts do not bring you peace, I can help.

Approach

Using evidenced-based practices, I bring a pragmatic, ND-affirming, non-judgmental approach to each session.

Beliefs & Lived Experience

Hello! I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor who earned my master’s and second bachelor’s degree in psychology at the University of West Florida after my military service. I hold an additional bachelor’s degree in communications from the University of North Texas. As a combat veteran, purple heart recipient, military spouse, mother, and small business owner I am well versed in the demands and stress of life. I have worked in inpatient residential care for addiction and other severe mental health problems. I am experienced with couples and family and have experience in community care settings as well as outpatient therapy.
