You don't have to navigate this alone.
For many people I work with, like healthcare providers, veterans, and military families, carrying more than others realize, often while showing up fully for everyone else, can feel more tiring over time. I offer a compassionate space to explore how personal history shapes present struggles with trauma, PTSD, burnout, grief, loss, and life transitions.
Using EMDR, IFS, Solution-Focused, and Contextual Therapy, I help people rebuild a sense of identity, safety, and trust. I also have deep experience in palliative and end-of-life care.
Together we can rediscover meaning, safety, trust, and direction following life altering events through understanding how your personal history has impacted the patterns and processes occurring in the present. When things feel unfair, or unjust, we can talk about how rebalancing the ledger in contextual therapy may be helpful, and discuss adding EMDR.
The goal is to help you reclaim agency, rebuild trust in yourself and others, and live intentionally. Whether you’re a healthcare provider, first responder, veteran, or facing life-altering challenges, you don’t have to carry this alone. Healing isn’t about forgetting the past but learning to live fully in its aftermath, empowered to move forward.
