My approach is integrative and trauma-informed, starting with a strong person-centered foundation that emphasizes genuine rapport and trust. I then incorporate psychodynamic principles and Jungian psychology (shadow work and archetypes) to help clients understand masks, integrate hidden parts, and achieve post-traumatic growth. I frequently use Batman and superhero mythology as relatable analogies, making the work especially accessible for first responders and helping professionals.

I specialize in trauma-informed therapy for first responders and helping professionals — including firefighters, law enforcement officers, nurses, paramedics, and military personnel — addressing job-related PTSD, moral injury, compassion fatigue, hypervigilance, identity transitions, and the masks we wear, using person-centered, psychodynamic, and Jungian approaches enhanced with mythology.
