Get to know me

In our first session together, here's what you can expect

In our first session, you’ll step into a warm, neurodivergent-affirming, and trauma-informed space designed for compassion and zero judgment. We’ll explore your unique challenges—whether anxiety, chronic stress, trauma, poor sleep, or addictive patterns—and your goals for healing. Instead of traditional talk therapy, I’ll introduce you to gentle, personalized somatic practices, such as breathwork, iRest-inspired meditative inquiry, or restorative movement, tailored to your comfort level. You’ll leave with practical tools to start calming your nervous system and a clear sense of how my veteran-led, holistic approach—drawing from EMDR, Internal Family Systems, and trauma-focused yoga—can empower you to reset your mind and body for lasting resilience and inner peace.

The biggest strengths that I bring into our sessions

My approach isn’t about talking through your story—it’s about hitting the "reset button" on your nervous system to gain control of your brain. As a licensed psychotherapist with AUDHD and 14 years as a combat veteran, I blend trauma-informed somatic practices, iRest Yoga Nidra, EMDR, and Internal Family Systems to help you release chronic stress, anxiety, trauma, and addictive patterns. Here’s what makes it unique: Body-First, Mind-Follows: We start with breath, sensation, or gentle movement to calm your nervous system within minutes, creating a safe foundation before words are needed. Rest as Your True Self: Using iRest, every session guides you to rest as pure awareness—the unshakable calm behind thoughts, pain, or urges—not just relaxation, but a profound reset. Neurodivergent-Affirming Space: Designed for AUDHD and neurodivergent minds, I honor sensory needs, nonlinear thinking, and stimming. No masking, just authentic you. Veteran-Led, Combat-Tested: My military experience informs fast, repeatable micro-practices that discharge fight/flight/freeze, helping you regulate like a pro. Results You Feel Immediately: Session 1: Leave with one accessible, calming breath to use anytime. Sessions 3–6: Most clients report 2–4 points lower pain, better sleep, and reduced cravings. Long-Term: Clients say, “My anxiety/pain/addiction is still there, but it no longer controls me.” Bottom Line: This isn’t just understanding your patterns—it’s outgrowing them by resetting your nervous system and reconnecting with your unbreakable core. Schedule your free 15-minute consultation to experience the reset for yourself.

The clients I'm best positioned to serve

I’m here for those who feel overwhelmed by a mind that won’t slow down—where anxiety, chronic stress, trauma, poor sleep, or addictive patterns keep you stuck in overdrive. As a licensed psychotherapist and somatic practitioner with AUDHD (Autism and ADHD) and 14 years as a combat veteran, I’m uniquely equipped to support: Neurodivergent Individuals: If you’re exploring or embracing your neurodivergence (e.g., autism, ADHD, or sensory sensitivities), I offer a judgment-free, affirming space where stimming, nonlinear thinking, and your unique wiring are celebrated. No masking needed. Those Struggling with Chronic Stress, Anxiety, or Trauma: Whether it’s racing thoughts, a body in constant "fight-or-flight," or unresolved trauma (including PTSD), my trauma-informed, body-centered approach helps you reset your nervous system and regain control of your brain. Clients Seeking Relief from Chronic Pain or Poor Sleep: If physical tension or insomnia is draining you, my iRest Yoga Nidra and restorative practices provide tools to ease pain and restore deep, rejuvenating rest. People with Addictive Patterns: If you’re caught in cycles of cravings or habits that feel out of control, my somatic and mindfulness-based methods help you break free with practical, lasting strategies. Those Ready for a Body-Centered Approach: If traditional talk therapy hasn’t worked or feels incomplete, my holistic method—using breathwork, somatic inquiry, and Restorative Fitness—empowers you to heal from the body up, not just the mind. Your Mindset and Goals: You’re ready to move beyond just understanding your challenges and want practical, embodied tools to cultivate calm, resilience, and inner peace. You value a safe, authentic space and are open to exploring your body’s wisdom to achieve lasting change. Serving You Where You Are: I offer online sessions to clients in Indiana, Arizona, Texas, and New Hampshire, making it easy to start your journey from the comfort of your own space.
