I offer grounded individual therapy for children (ages 11 and older) and adults, including service members, veterans, and the people who love them. In person and telehealth sessions focus on anxiety, ADHD, stress, and identity—blending practical strategies with deeper meaning-making so you can move forward with confidence and clarity.

Couples Therapy

Military relationships face unique pressures — frequent deployments, PCS moves, and the daily realities of service life. Some studies even suggest military divorce rates may be several times higher than civilian rates, highlighting how much strain partners often carry.

My work is grounded in the Gottman Method, a research-based approach that helps couples improve communication, rebuild trust, reduce conflict, and strengthen their friendship — the foundation of every healthy relationship. Together, we focus on practical tools you can use right away to feel more connected and supported, even in the middle of a demanding, unpredictable lifestyle.

Family Therapy (Including Therapy With Children Under 11 Years Old)

Family therapy offers a steady, supportive space for navigating stress, big emotions, and the unique transitions that come with military life — whether your family is preparing for a deployment, adjusting to someone coming home, or working through the everyday challenges that impact connection.

When working with children under 11 years old, sessions naturally involve parents (and sometimes older siblings) — not because anyone is doing anything “wrong,” but because younger kids aren’t yet able to think abstractly. This can make thinking about emtions, problem solving, and goal setting more difficult for them. They benefit from the guidance and presence of the adults who know them best.

Together, we focus on strengthening communication, building routines that support emotional regulation, and creating a home environment where your child can feel secure and confident. I offer in person and telehealth family sessions, making it easier to maintain continuity of care even if your family PCS’s to another state.
