In addition to supporting clients through life transitions and challenges, I offer First Responder or a Trauma Exposed Professional a safe space to work through mental wellness with knowledgable mental health clinician who has also worked in the field. I have come to psychotherapy after having worked over 20 years as a frontline paramedic and bring a unique perspective to both my First Responder and “civilian” clients. Working together we can maneuver this time of your life to create personal growth and satisfaction in a judgement free, inclusive environment.

If you feel disconnected from your partner, are working through trauma, facing challenges in your intimate life, or feeling curious about your gender or sexual identity, neurodivergence, or sense of self, you’re not alone. Many of my clients are seeking clarity, connection, and healing. Therapy can be a space to unpack your story, make sense of your experiences, and build a life that feels more aligned with who you are. I work with many people who are healing from trauma or exploring sexual concerns, navigating infidelity or open relationships, and wanting to re-discover closeness with their partners.

My primary focus is on clients who have encountered various forms of trauma, utilizing somatic therapy as a core component of my practice. This approach allows us to tap into the wisdom of the body, facilitating healing through increased body awareness and sensation. I also work with individuals dealing with stress, burnout, anxiety, depression, grief and loss, life transitions, and those navigating living with ADHD.

There may be times when your stress interferes with what you want in your life. You may be experiencing a mix of anxiety, panic, burnout, physical pain, sadness, anger or frustration with others and/or yourself. You may have noticed a pattern you're unhappy with or a specific situation that replays in your mind. The stress you're experiencing may be related to a difficult time in your past, your present, including injury, health anxiety, work or sport performance, anticipating the future, or a combination. It's not easy to reach out for help, so taking action by contacting a professional is you being courageous!

Do you feel like you're carrying the weight of the world on your shoulders, but no one really sees it? Have you been through things that are hard to talk about—things that left you feeling stuck, alone, angry, or ashamed? Maybe you’ve tried to push it down, to keep going, but the tension keeps building, and the disconnection—especially in your relationships—feels impossible to fix.

In this chapter of your life, does it feel like you’re failing everyone around you as you struggle to meet your own needs? Faced with an overwhelming list of to-do’s, you just can’t seem to find the energy to get up and get going. In this period of transition, you don’t feel like yourself anymore and it’s as if you’ve lost your sense of direction. You may be so busy making sure everyone around you is happy that you find yourself quickly irritated and stressed. As you focus on caring for others, negative thoughts, self-doubt and criticism take up so much room that you no longer feel connected to who you are and what your purpose is.

Healing is not just about mending what feels fragmented—it’s about rediscovering the wholeness that has always existed within you.
True transformation happens when we learn to listen to the wisdom of mind and body, recognizing how our nervous system holds onto past experiences and how, with care and curiosity, we can restore a sense of balance and inner calm. Therapy offers the space to gently explore the patterns that have shaped us, to tend to the parts of ourselves that feel stuck or unheard, and to move toward greater integration and wholeness. It’s about working through challenges and creating a new relationship with yourself.

So, you've started your search for a therapist because you've been feeling like everything is just too much. Things that never used to be a challenge have become hard or maybe you're in a transition period and don't know where to go next. You want calm, structure and to just feel better. These are things I know all too well, but the good part is that we can work together to lessen the stress and overcome these experiences to bring you the outcome you desire. You don't have to do it on your own!
