Roots To Wings Wellness

Along with starting my practice five years ago, I began serving as a group facilitator for up to 500 participants a week in audio-based support rooms on Circlesup.com, leading discussions on trauma healing, emotional regulation, and relationship recovery. This role has deepened my expertise in narcissistic abuse recovery and grief work, and it continues to inform the community-driven, strengths-based approach I bring to therapy. My career has also included roles as a Child Play Therapist, therapist at a Abused Women and Children’s Shelters, clinician to six foster homes, and manager of psychiatric units in two prisons as well as several community based positions. These experiences exposed me to a wide range of social, emotional, and psychological needs—and helped shape my practical, no-nonsense, heart-centered approach. I offer an integrative, trauma-informed approach grounded in: DBT (Dialectical Behavioral Therapy) CBT (Cognitive Behavioral Therapy) IFS (Internal Family Systems) Gottman Method for Couples Therapy Relational Life Therapy (Level 3 Certification in Progress) Neuroscience Coaching These modalities support clients in understanding their patterns, identifying emotional blocks, setting boundaries, and building stronger relationships—with others and themselves. Through Neuroscience Coaching, I help clients apply cutting-edge research on the brain—including neuroplasticity, emotional regulation, and cognitive restructuring—to shift unhelpful thought patterns and achieve personal and professional goals. In all sessions, whether individual, couple, or group-based, my focus remains the same: to create a space where you feel safe, seen, and supported. I believe healing begins with being truly heard—and from there, change becomes possible. Therapy with me is honest, grounded, and collaborative. I will support you in learning how to: Identify and process emotions Build and maintain healthy boundaries Improve communication Restore connection in your relationships Cultivate self-respect, confidence, and self-compassion You are not alone—and you don’t need to figure it out on your own anymore. I’m a proud military wife, mom to two active duty sons, and a SUNY Rugger daughter. My husband and I recently made the move to Ohio, where we're planting roots after 23 years of marriage. Outside the therapy room, I’m often spending time with my fur family: Chinook the Husky Osa the Great Pyrenees Seiche the Chiweenie Fuzzy Fozzie the Toy Golden Poodle They’re part of my daily life—and since meet virtually, chances are you’ll hear them say hello.
