About

Your Guide to Personal Growth and Well-Being

You’ve carried so much for so long—holding it all together while silently navigating pain, pressure, and expectations. Maybe you’re exhausted from being the strong one. Maybe you’re overwhelmed by anxiety, trauma, relationship stress, or simply trying to find yourself again in the midst of it all. If you’re here, it’s likely because you’re looking for a space where you can finally exhale. A space where you don’t have to explain everything to be understood. Where your experiences are honored, your voice matters, and your healing is the priority. At Elysian, that space is here for you. You Deserve to Be Seen, Heard, and Supported Whether you’re a woman in uniform, a veteran adjusting to civilian life, a caregiver constantly putting others first, or someone just trying to make it through the day—you deserve care that understands where you’ve been. I see you—because I’ve walked that road too. As a military veteran, retired federal law enforcement officer, mother, and caregiver, I understand the layers of stress, responsibility, trauma, and silence that often go unseen. You don’t have to explain every detail for your pain to be valid here. You will be met with compassion, dignity, and culturally responsive care. What You Might Be Facing • You feel anxious, stuck, or emotionally drained • You’ve been through trauma that still lives in your body and mind • You struggle with trust, connection, or past relationship wounds • You’ve survived systems—military, justice, family—that expected your strength but not your healing • You’re tired of hiding how heavy it really feels And maybe you’re ready to finally choose yourself. What Therapy Looks Like Here You’ll find a supportive space grounded in trust, empathy, and real-life understanding. Using evidence-based practices like Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), trauma-informed care, and motivational interviewing, our work will focus on helping you: • Manage anxiety, depression, and emotional overwhelm • Heal from trauma and rebuild a sense of safety • Improve communication and relationships • Set boundaries, goals, and reclaim your identity • Feel empowered to live life on your own terms This Is For You If... You’re ready to feel seen and supported, not just as a client—but as a whole person. You want a therapist who gets it—who understands the mental toll of always being “on,” who respects your lived experience, and who creates space for rest, reflection, and growth. You want healing that is real, grounded, and sustainable. You’ve given so much to others. Now it’s time to give something back to yourself. Welcome to Elysian. Let’s start your healing journey—together.
