Searching for the right therapist during a difficult time isn’t easy. If you are someone who has experienced the pain of losing a loved one, or have felt deeply affected by traumatic events that changed your life, you may wonder whether therapy can help. I'm a doctoral-level licensed psychologist with over a decade of experience treating grief, PTSD, anxiety, and addiction among first responders, combat Veterans, and adult clients. Through a collaborative approach focused on practical solutions, you may find that therapy truly makes a difference in your daily life, and it doesn't have to be a "forever" commitment.
New Light Psychology supports EMS, police, fire, and healthcare workers in roles where strength and responsibility are expected each day. I offer stress management and communication skills to improve well-being, both at work and at home. My clients build the skills and mindset to balance their busy family lives with the weight of demanding professions.
Together, we’ll focus on regaining stability and confidence as you strive to maintain your professional livelihood alongside the relationships that matter. Get care from the comfort of home with confidential telehealth sessions. If you’re looking for an experienced grief and trauma therapist with a respectful and compassionate approach, reach out today.
