Helping Veterans, First Responders, and Professionals Heal from Invisible Wounds. Are you carrying the weight of trauma from your service or profession? Is it affecting those who care about you the most? Do you find yourself pushing through, even when you’re running on empty? Many people feel stuck or overwhelmed, unsure why they react the way they do. If you’re wondering whether your past still shapes your present, let’s talk. I assist professionals affected by trauma in their line of duty. Together, we explore how trauma has impacted them mentally, physically, emotionally, and spiritually.
My work is grounded in a trauma-informed and compassionate approach that supports individuals in their self-discovery. I integrate practical tools and therapeutic strategies to support healing and growth (Modalities: Narrative Therapy, Solution Focused, Psychoeducation, etc.,). Sessions are client-centered, culturally responsive, and guided by your goals.
Clients often say they leave sessions feeling truly seen, heard, and lighter. Many find greater peace, clarity, and a renewed sense of purpose. You don’t have to navigate this alone—when you’re ready, reach out or call. I would be honored to support your healing journey.

Dr. Dickerson is an amazing therapist! I worked with her for over 10 years and saw her experience, compassion, and ability to create a safe space on a daily basis. Veterans at the Vet Center would ask for her by name because of her reputation. I trust her.
