You’re the one everyone relies on and you are exhausted!
Therapy for moms, first responders, and their partners navigating trauma, stress, and life overload.
You’re used to being the strong one the one who shows up, handles everything, and keeps it together. And underneath that, you’re overwhelmed, exhausted, or just not feeling like yourself anymore. I specialize in working with moms, first responders, and their spouses who are navigating trauma, substance use, parenting stress. As a mom and former first responder wife, I understand both the lived reality and the emotional toll that comes with these roles.
My work is rooted in a trauma and attachment lens with a bottom-up, nervous system-focused approach. That means we don’t just talk about what’s wrong—we work to understand how your experiences have shaped your responses and help your system actually feel safe enough to change.
With over 15 years of experience in the mental health and substance use field, I bring both clinical expertise and real-world understanding to this work. I’ve worked extensively with trauma, addiction, and high-stress populations, and I understand how complex these experiences can be—especially when you’re also trying to show up for your family.
