Serving in uniform meant carrying more than just your gear. It meant navigating a world where you were often the only woman in the room. Proving yourself didn't just mean meeting standards—it meant exceeding them, constantly, while deflecting unwanted attention, managing inappropriate comments, and maintaining composure when others questioned your right to be there. Maybe you endured the subtle undermining like being talked over in briefings, watching less qualified men get promoted, having your leadership questioned. Or perhaps you faced the darker side … the sexual harassment, the assaults, the betrayal of those who were supposed to have your six. The worst part? Being told to stay quiet, to not "make waves," to protect the unit's reputation at the cost of your own well-being.

These experiences still echo. Maybe you struggle with trust, especially in professional settings. Or you find yourself overcompensating, still trying to prove you belong.

This is where my therapy treatment offers a different kind of strength.

Not the kind that demands you suffer in silence, but the kind that acknowledges your experiences and helps you heal on your terms.

How I can help...

Female Veteran Counseling

Calculating safe routes to the shower, or weighing whether reporting an incident would hurt your career more than staying silent sounds all too familiar. Our female veteran counseling draws from a blend of techniques, like Narrative therapy which helps you reclaim these stories on your terms. It's about finding your voice and your truth, especially for experiences you were told to keep quiet about. It helps you recognize how you navigated a system that wasn't always built for you, celebrating your resilience while acknowledging the unfair challenges you faced. This isn't about erasing what happened - it's about taking back the power to tell your story your way.

Military Trauma Counseling

Every veteran’s experience is different, which is why we tailor therapy to fit your personal needs and struggles as a part of our military trauma counseling. I offer supervised alternative therapy sessions, which has shown remarkable results for veterans battling trauma. Think of it as having night vision goggles for your mind—helping you see and process things that were previously hidden in the dark. These treatments are conducted in secure, controlled environments with professionals who understand military experience.

Veteran Trauma Therapy

Flashbacks, nightmares, and hypervigilance can feel like a battle that never ends. But there is hope. Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) is a methodical, proven, and effective way for reducing the emotional weight of trauma. This isn't about rehashing every firefight or painful memory. Instead, it helps your mind process those experiences so they don't ambush you in the middle of the night or during a family dinner. Many veterans who need chronic stress and trauma recovery therapy find that EMDR helps them maintain operational awareness while reducing the grip that trauma has on their daily lives.

Veteran Counseling

Learning how to manage emotions so that anger, fear, or numbness don’t take over your life is key to transitioning to civilian life and features in our veteran counseling. Every service member knows that a unit is only as strong as its parts working together. Internal Family Systems (IFS) helps you understand the different parts of yourself—the warrior, the civilian, the protector, the wounded—and gets them working as one cohesive team again. It's especially powerful for dealing with the guilt or shame that can come from things you've seen or done in service.
