Helping people heal their minds and bodies. Specializing in working with first responders and high-stress career professionals, I provide personalized trauma-informed care and crisis intervention. 10+ years of paramedic experience, ready to help you find balance and peace. I believe that healing occurs when the whole person—body, mind, and emotions, are considered.
Bringing emotional healing and growth one client at a time. Using evidence-based approaches tailored to the individual, I work to help clients find balance in their lives and achieve lasting change.
Mental wellness is a journey, not a destination. I'm here to help light the way and empower you to find your own path. Let's embark on this together!
