Do you feel like you are constantly on edge or just going through the motions? The weight of what you have experienced might show up as sleepless nights, a short fuse, or feeling shut down and disconnected from those you care about. Guilt, intrusive thoughts, or that relentless “always on alert” feeling can take over—but you don’t have to stay stuck in that cycle. My style is goal-oriented, time-efficient, & focused on results without keeping you in therapy any longer than necessary! Together, we will build a clear and practical plan to help you feel better, regain balance and control, and function at your best on and off the job.
I work with first responders, active-duty service members, veterans, high-stress professionals, and their families to address the mental, physical, and behavioral impact of trauma. I also treat related concerns such as panic attacks, anxiety, depression, insomnia, and burnout, providing structured care designed to improve overall well-being and performance.
For those wanting faster results, I offer Models of Accelerated Service Delivery (MASD)—focused, high-frequency therapy designed to create progress in weeks, not months. I also provide psychological assessments, pre-employment and fitness-for-duty evals, and agency consultation. If you’re ready for therapy that works as hard as you do, let’s start today!
