EFT Level of Training
Additional Training (not yet certified)
Practice Description
I help individuals, romantic partners, and families heal and find connection where there was once pain.

Specializing in:
- High-stakes professionals: leaders, executives, military and medical professionals, first responders, and government officials navigating constant pressure and its impact on relationships and families.
- LGBTQIA+ communities: individuals, partners, and families working through identity, relational transitions, and healing in a world that isn’t always affirming.
- Healing from trauma and narcissistic abuse
- Navigating nonmonogamy or polyamory

As a queer, biracial, disabled military veteran, I've lived at the intersection of multiple identities and know what it's like to navigate complex cultural, relational, and systemic dynamics. My 21 years in the Navy taught me to thrive and lead in high-stakes environments and to bring calmness and clarity when emotions run high. This background naturally draws clients who are LGBTQIA+ or work in high-pressure roles and face unique personal and relational challenges. Though these groups experience different pressures, their struggles often overlap as they navigate systemic expectations, the cost of hiding parts of themselves, and the toll it takes on their relationships.

I offer ongoing therapy sessions, therapy intensives, workshops, and concierge therapy services.
