Are you someone who feels stuck being the one who always holds everything together—even when you're falling apart on the inside?
Someone who is strong, resilient, & capable, yet completely exhausted? Have you spent so much time creating peace for everyone else that your own sense of peace feels out of reach?
Are you the go-to person for everyone around you, yet rarely feel supported in return? You might be feeling unseen, alone, & burned out.
What once gave you a sense of purpose now feels impossible to sustain.
If this sounds like you, you’re not alone & it doesn’t have to stay this way. You deserve to heal & I’m here for you.

My favorite book of all time is Viktor Frankl's Man's Search for Meaning. One of the many wonderful things he says in that book is "When we are no longer able to change a situation we are challenged to change ourselves." I see our work together as a team effort. Each client I see has his or her own story and unique perspective on that story, and I believe that within that story are the seeds to healing. My approach to helping my clients is in seeing each of my clients as a whole person who is struggling with something, whether it is anxiety, depression, relationships issues, substance abuse, communication, parenting, trauma, etc.

I specialize in eating disorders, family of origin issues, pain & trauma recovery, including PTSD, and First Responders and Veterans.

My focus is those who serve, law enforcement, firefighters, EMS, dispatchers, crisis workers, and counselors.
My ideal client is a first responder, crisis worker, counselor, or their family member, someone who has spent years being the strong one. They're exhausted, not sleeping, and struggling in relationships they can't explain. They may be using substances to cope. They've tried therapy before and found it too slow or too soft. What they need isn't another coping skill, they want real resolution. They're ready for a clinician who understands the culture, takes trauma seriously, and offers a path that actually leads somewhere.

First Responders Therapists
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.
