Has the way you coped with situations changed? You may have been feeling or doing "fine" for years, coping with whatever life gifted you over this time. Staying busy, distracted, raising a family, excelling in a career. The coping skills worked, until they didn't. And perhaps you find yourself wondering: why am I not able to take on as much as I used to, excel the way I did, or handle the same stress I once conquered? Why can't I just get back to normal? Does this sound familiar? If so, let's open up curiosity to explore this.

If you are looking for a therapist with a blank, neutral face who gives an occasional "mhm" while you vent for 50 minutes, I'm not your guy. If you're looking for a guide who'll work alongside you, support you, but also be realistic and direct with you when needed, I think we would make a good team. My goal is to empower my clients to find the tools and strategies they already have within themselves, cutting through the noise and bringing those to the surface. I firmly believe in a mutually honest and direct therapeutic relationship. I will be direct with you throughout our session, and I ask you to be equally as direct with me.

I’ve worked with therapists, attorneys, military leaders, CEOs, and other professionals.
We all face serious decisions, conflicts, and psychological events. This therapist uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help address anxiety, depression, family issues, life adjustment, relationship conflicts, anger, identity crises, spiritual challenges, and dealing with life injustices. Therapy helps to balance the 5 aspects of self (mental, emotional, social, physical & spiritual) toward a positive and healthy lifestyle in ever-changing environments. As a former social work researcher and educator, I taught aspiring therapists to be objective, non-judgmental, and compassionate to help clients achieve their life goals.

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.
