I work primarily with first responders who are impacted by trauma, post-traumatic stress (injury or disorder), anxiety, depression, critical incident stress, and cumulative job-related stress. Many experience intrusive images, heightened reactivity, sleep disruption, or emotional shutdown. My clients are goal-oriented and want more than symptom management. Our treatment will focus on eliminating distressing images and resolving the lasting effects of trauma so you can regain stability, clarity, and control of you life.
I help first responders stabilize their nervous systems and process trauma using evidence-based, trauma-informed therapy. My work targets the root of distress—reducing intrusive images, emotional reactivity, and the physiological impacts of chronic stress. The goal is to restore your capacity and ability to show up fully on the job and at home.
If you work in emergency services, you have been trained to carry what most people never have to face—and to keep moving no matter the cost. You do not have to carry it alone anymore; reaching out is a strong, practical step toward getting your footing back, and I’m here to help when you’re ready.
