Many people carry wounds that others cannot see. Trauma, domestic violence, repeated stress, and painful relationship experiences can leave you feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or disconnected from the life you hoped for. I work with individuals navigating the effects of trauma, including first responders and others who have faced repeated exposure to difficult events. Together, we focus on developing practical tools to calm the nervous system, manage overwhelming thoughts and emotions, and rebuild a sense of stability, meaning, and direction.

I have nearly 30 years of first responder (paramedic/911 dispatcher) experience. I use an integrative approach over a one-size-fits-all model. I am committed to culturally safe care, holding credentials in San'yas Indigenous Cultural Safety (ICS) and anti-racism response training.

I offer a 15 - 30-minute free consultation so you can briefly share what you’re facing and decide whether working together feels like the right fit.
