Seven years in Iraq and Afghanistan taught me more about resilience than any textbook ever could. As a military contractor serving as an Accountant and Manager overseas, I witnessed firsthand how trauma, stress, and the demands of service affect not just your work, but your entire life.

That experience inspired me to become a psychotherapist, but more than that—it drove me to specialize in helping people transition successfully from high-stress service environments back to civilian life. I've walked this path myself, and I understand how different trauma, depression, and anxiety look for those of us who've served.

My education includes a Master's in Mental Health Counseling from Capella University and specialized training in Natural Health and Functional Medicine. This combination ensures you're getting support for both the mental and physical aspects of your wellbeing—because they're more connected than most people realize.

But here's what really matters: I've worked 84-hour weeks for seven years straight while managing an autoimmune condition and building my own business. I get what it's like to be a high-achieving woman who refuses to settle for "good enough." I understand the fear of not being able to have it all, and the pressure to hide when the stress starts getting to you.
