Welcome to Better Balance Therapy

Helping youth and adults get unstuck from life's messiness.

Better Balance Therapy is for people who are tired of holding it together and ready for something different. We work with individuals navigating anxiety, depression, trauma, stress, tough relationships, and those stubborn patterns that keep showing up no matter how hard you try to outthink them. As therapists with backgrounds as teachers and military veterans, we understand structure, pressure, and what it’s like to push through—even when you’re running on empty. Therapy here is practical, collaborative, and skills-based, with room for honesty, humor, and real-life messiness. We help you build resilience, make sense of your experiences, and create a life that feels more balanced and sustainable—not just manageable.

Our Approach

Our approach is personalized, evidence-based, and focused on changing patterns that keep you stuck. We use structured strategies and trauma-informed techniques to help your brain and body respond differently to stress, building practical skills for lasting balance.

Our Experiences

Between us, we bring over 40 years in education and more than 30 years of service in the U.S. Air Force. We’ve taught in elementary, middle school, and college classrooms, and we’ve served as enlisted members and officers—on active duty, in the National Guard, and in combat deployments. Those experiences shaped how we show up as therapists: structured, calm under pressure, and deeply human.

We know what it’s like to lead, to support, and to carry responsibility for others—and how hard it can be to ask for help yourself. Our background allows us to create a space that is safe, inclusive, and grounded, where you’ll feel respected, heard, and supported while you build skills to navigate life’s challenges and move toward your full potential. 

Client Goals

We’re committed to supporting you through healing and growth—helping you build confidence, reconnect with purpose, and move forward with clarity and direction.
