You don't have to relive your trauma to heal from it. EMDR helps process and release emotional pain in a safe, structured way — allowing you to feel more present and in control. This powerful approach can promote emotional regulation, improve self-concept, and foster a greater sense of safety and confidence.

Although I have worked with diverse populations, I gravitate toward the family systems approach and feel that a family’s distress is not attributable to just one person, but rather a combination of interactions of individual members within that “system.” I have been using Emotion Focused Therapy (EFT) with couples and individuals. Recently, I have decided to open my own practice. My focus will continue to be EFT as well as Accelerated Resolution Therapy (ART) to help address the many clients who come to the therapy session with backgrounds in trauma.

If you are ready to get back to or become the person you are meant to be, let’s talk. Trauma, anxiety, and depression can all hold us back and keep us living in survival mode, but you are here for more than that. You are meant to realize your potential and your dreams, and therapy can help you knock down barriers to doing that. In my years as a therapist the most common issue I have encountered is that people are too hard on themselves, too unkind and unwilling to forgive. Just like a plant getting sunlight and water, we tend to thrive when treated with love and respect. Therapy can help you get there.

Healing is a collaborative journey where each person holds the wisdom and strength to create meaningful change in their life. I work with individuals who feel disconnected—overwhelmed by life transitions, trauma, or identity shifts like new parenthood. They may be struggling with anxiety, burnout, or grief, and are searching for clarity, healing, and a deeper connection to themselves. Their goals often include building confidence, setting healthy boundaries, and breaking old patterns. They're ready for meaningful change because they know they deserve more than just getting by—they want to feel whole, grounded, and empowered.

Why is mental health important for first responders?
As part of their work, first responders are often exposed to high levels of stress, trauma, and physical injury that can put them at a greater risk for serious mental health conditions than the general population. Conditions like PTSD, anxiety, substance use, and depression are more common in first responders, which can greatly reduce quality of life and lead to burnout, sleep disruption, and even suicidal thoughts. Therapy can offer an opportunity for first responders to process difficult on-the-job experiences and develop coping skills to better manage any mental health symptoms they may experience.
How can first responders get access to mental health support?
Many first responders can access therapy for free or at a very low cost through their employer, such as through an Employee Assistance Program (EAP). Workplaces may also offer or have referral recommendations for support groups, where first responders can meet with others in their profession to receive support. Individuals who would like to access mental health services outside of their employer may use their insurance benefits to see a therapist, which they can find by searching for therapists online or asking for recommendations from their primary care physician.
What type of therapy is best for first responders?
The best therapy approach depends on the mental health concerns of the client. Since many first responders struggle with trauma or PTSD, they may benefit from trauma-specific therapeutic approaches, such as Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) Therapy, Exposure Therapy, or Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT). Individuals with symptoms of anxiety, depression, or stress may alternatively benefit from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) or mindfulness-based therapeutic approaches, which can help clients develop coping skills to manage distressing thoughts.
Can therapy for first responders help with trauma and PTSD?
Therapy can be highly effective in both treating and preventing trauma and PTSD in first responders. Typically, therapy for trauma and PTSD focuses on developing stress management skills and managing intrusive or unwanted thoughts. Therapists working with first responders often help clients strengthen their relationships and reduce harmful coping mechanisms, such as excessive substance use. Additionally, therapists assist first responders in establishing daily habits that support overall mental and physical health and enhance resilience to future stress, such as regular physical exercise, mindfulness practices, and improved eating habits.
