I've been there for Police Officers, Teachers, & Veterans for more than 15 years. I started as the Suicide Prevention Program Manager for more than 13,000 Soldiers in 26 states and Puerto Rico. My current day job is working for the Department of Veterans Affairs as a Clinical Psychologist. What I provide to my private clients is a space to heal that’s safe. The truth is, we all need somebody to talk to. No big I’s and little u’s, just us in a space talking. I don’t make promises but my PTSD, Anxiety, and Anger Management Groups are often filled to capacity. Check out my TEDx Talk “Trained Not to Cry” to get a sense of who I am.
I help protect the mental health of those who can't share their problems, so they can continue doing what they do without burning out, breaking down, or being depleted by the time they get home.
I actually care and I won’t ask you to “suck it up.” Life can be tricky. It can be hard. And, relationships can be crazy. When you’re ready for therapy, I’m here.
You might be under constant pressure - you might see a lot, and you might carry a lot. And while you might act like you’re made of steel, you’re human too. And that's alright. I offer a space to unpack some of the stress, trauma, or depression you might be feeling so that you can feel uplifted and supported, instead of feeling worn down and unappreciated.
