Veterans/Military Service

People have said that you might have PTSD, but what does that even mean? You've lived through some difficult events, but plenty of other people have been through worse. You worry that PTSD means that you are crazy, and you don't want people to treat you differently. You're concerned that being labeled with PTSD will have negative consequences, and that has stopped you from asking for help. If you and/or your partner may be experiencing PTSD- it is possible to heal from the past.

As a retired Army veteran, I understand the importance of facing challenges and embracing change. I offer unbiased insights, clear communication, and honest feedback to help you explore and create a new path to personal fulfillment.

21 years active-duty Army service followed by 2 years as a provider in the VA

I help military veterans learn how to confront and tolerate unwanted emotions from the past so they can turn on more positive emotions. I spent over three years at the University of Texas Health Science Center in San Antonio, Texas providing Prolonged Exposure Therapy to active duty and veteran service members with PTSD. I now help veterans in my own practice discover what it means to live a valued life instead of a life shrunk by PTSD.

Drawing from my personal experience as a US Army combat engineer and my professional training, I specialize in addressing the unique challenges faced by veterans and military service members. My expertise lies in providing trauma-informed care tailored to the specific needs of this population, focusing on building resilience, coping strategies, and pathways to healing from service-related experiences. I'm committed to supporting veterans in their journey toward wellness and reintegration.

Working with the military population requires a better understanding of the military culture and its challenges. I am equipped to provide my clients with evidence-based interventions that will recognize their value system while promoting channels for healing and well-being.

I have extensive training in Military competencies and culture to provide competent service delivery to our heroes in uniform and those no longer serving. I am a Level-2 trauma therapist with training in CPT and EMDR.

As a military retiree, I am familiar with the military life experience. You can feel safe and supported in the therapeutic space. You can take the first step towards hope and healing whether you are experiencing symptoms of trauma from PTSD, sexual abuse, anxiety, depression, or grief. You might also be struggling as you transition from military to civilian life. This can be a time of confusion for you and your family. You don't have to make this journey by yourself. Please contact me.

I have extensive experience in working with Veterans and active military members. Most of my clinical training was accomplished with VHA and DOD. My heart is fully with those who have sacrificed to serve our country and I have a deep understanding of the issues our heroes often bring home with them. I have intensively treated Veterans and service members with PTSD, addiction issues, serious mental illness, life and role transitions, grief, civilian reintegration, and mood disorders.

I was a member of the Resilience Center for Veterans and Families for many years where I learned interventions specific to this community. I am also an Army Veteran, and currently serving as a medical operations officer in the NY Army National Guard.

You experience a safe space where your service-related issues, including PTSD, anxiety and reintegration struggles, are met with empathy and expertise. My approach integrates mindfulness and solution-focused therapy, empowering you to heal, build resilience and reclaim your purpose.

Even though military spouses are some of the most adaptable and resilient people on the planet, the constant state of change can take a toll on anyone. The worry for your spouse’s safety, the challenges with childcare, the never-ending list of things to do as a solo parent, uncertain deployment dates, and frequent moves can be overwhelming. The constant stress can cause you to feel exhausted, aimless, resentful, and alone.

As a military veterans spouse I have had first hand experience in the life of service men/women and their families. I understand the challenges that they face both in active duty as well as in life after separation and the challenges faced when adjusting to life as a civilian.
