A therapy space built by someone who’s walked the path. Military service leaves a lasting mark, one built on discipline, loyalty, and courage, but also often woven with silence, stress, and the weight of unspoken experiences. As a former U.S. Navy Electronics Technician (ETR) and qualified submariner. I understand the rhythm of military life: long stretches of isolation, pressure under silence, mission-first mindsets, and the unrelenting expectation to hold yourself together — no matter what.That culture builds resilience. But it can also make it hard to ask for help when the uniform comes off.
Counselling with a Shared Language
This space is designed specifically for veterans and uniformed service members. It's a space where you don’t have to explain the culture, defend your emotions, or translate your mindset. Here, your story is understood without judgment. Whether you’re dealing with trauma, loss of identity, difficulty reconnecting with family, or simply trying to figure out your place in the civilian world, you won’t have to start from zero
You’ve carried heavy things for long enough. It’s time you had a space to set some of that down.
Veteran Experiences I Understand and Support:
- Transitioning to civilian identity and life after service
- Navigating feelings of disconnection, hypervigilance, emotional numbing, or changes in social functioning
- Managing cognitive fatigue, stress disorders, and mild to moderate mental health concerns such as Anxiety, Depression, PTSD and other post-service adjustment challenges
- Addressing the impacts of moral injury, rumination, and accumulated stress — including both psychosomatic and physical symptoms
- Rebuilding trust, intimacy, and communication in personal and family relationships
- Reconnecting with a sense of purpose and personal direction beyond the uniform
What Makes This Approach Different
Practical insight, grounded in lived experience
My approach is informed by both the rigors of service and the realities of recovery. I offer more than just clinical tools. Shaped by firsthand experience navigating the mental toll of high-stress environments, the quiet weight of persistent low moods, and the physical and emotional strain that often shows up in the body.
I understand the overlap of anxiety, depressive patterns, moral stress, and psychosomatic symptoms—because I’ve felt them too. This dual lens allows me to meet veterans with both clinical guidance and hard-earned understanding.
