Life is complicated, finding the right therapist or coach shouldn’t be
If there were a manual on how to navigate this thing called life, I’d Amazon Prime it and get that next day delivery. Unfortunately, life is a lot more complex than that but the answers and direction don’t have to be. You don’t want to spend your time sorting through all the providers out there only to find they aren’t your great fit. Its exhausting!
Let’s simplify this!
My Style
At the core of my work is helping you make sense of what feels overwhelming and then turning that understanding into support that actually works. What’s often missing isn’t effort or motivation — it’s clarity around what actually helps and how to apply it consistently without burning out.
A little about me….
I’m an Army spouse and veteran, and a cancer survivor. Living within the military community and moving through serious illness has shaped how I understand resilience, uncertainty, and the reality of having to work with what’s available — not what’s ideal.
Those experiences inform my work, but they don’t define it. They’ve taught me the value of steadiness, practicality, and support that adapts to real life. That’s the approach I bring into therapy and coaching: collaborative, grounded, and focused on what actually holds over time.
For fun:
I am an Enneagram 6 Loyalist
My top 5 Clifton Strengths are Restorative, Learner, Input, Significance, and Deliberative
I’ve been in the military community 25 years
I have a year-old mini Aussie who keeps stealing my socks (so if you know a way to stop her, let me know!)
