Professional statement

Therapy for military, first responders, couples, and high-achieving professionals

You’ve learned to hold it together, to lead under pressure, and to keep going no matter what. But lately, the armor isn’t working the way it used to. Whether you're a military professional, a high-achiever facing burnout, or part of a couple struggling to reconnect...you’re ready for change. I help individuals and couples move from emotional reactivity, anger, and disconnection into grounded clarity, trust, and lasting connection.

Trauma-informed, relationship-focused, and intensive-ready

My approach integrates EMDR, Gottman Method, and trauma-informed care to go beyond symptom management. I specialize in helping clients who feel stuck in stress cycles, emotional shutdown, or relationship breakdowns. Whether through weekly sessions or private-pay intensives (3-hour EMDR or 1-2 day Gottman-based retreats), my work is built for those who want effective, focused support with long-term impact.

Experienced and credentialed

I’m a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with advanced training in EMDR (EMDRIA certified) and Gottman Levels 1 & 2. With over a decade of experience supporting individuals and couples through trauma recovery and relationship healing, I bring both clinical skill and strategic insight to every session. My work is designed to meet clients where they are, whether that’s in deep trauma work, communication repair, or rediscovering emotional safety.

Flexible, private-pay model across seven states

I offer virtual therapy for adults in D.C., IL, TN, FL, NC, SC, and MD. Sessions are held online for convenience, privacy, and flexibility. I accept insurance for hourly sessions. I can provide superbills upon request for possible reimbursement. Intensives are scheduled by request and designed for those wanting to accelerate their progress in a short timeframe.

Let’s explore a path that feels less like survival and more like healing, clarity, and strength.


Message to clients

You’ve been carrying a lot; anger, stress, exhaustion, the pressure to hold it all together. And it’s starting to take a toll. Whether you're navigating the aftermath of trauma, struggling with emotional shutdown, or trying to reconnect with your partner, you’re not alone. I specialize in helping high-achieving individuals, military professionals, and couples untangle the inner conflict and rediscover grounded strength, clarity, and connection.

My approach is trauma-informed and emotionally strategic, combining evidence-based modalities like EMDR, Gottman Method, and nervous system regulation techniques. Together, we create space for deep healing without reliving the past. I offer traditional weekly sessions as well as powerful EMDR and Gottman intensives designed for clients who want accelerated results in a supportive, high-touch format.

Therapy doesn’t have to be a long, drawn-out process. It can be targeted, intentional, and deeply effective. If you’re ready for a different kind of therapeutic experience; one that meets you with clarity, strength, and forward movement. I’d be honored to work with you.
