As a dedicated elementary teacher I noticed many families with unmet mental health needs. As I observed their struggles, my zeal for instruction adapted from the classroom to the therapy office.

I work with trauma, anxiety, identity, & life transitions, with focused care for military, veterans, first responders & their partners, perinatal mental health, & athletes
You’re used to carrying the weight, managing the responsibilities, and being the strong one—even when you’re quietly burning out underneath. Maybe you’re anxious, carrying something from the past, or trying to figure out who you are outside of everyone else’s expectations. You don’t need to have it all figured out before you walk through the door. We can start with what’s weighing on you and make sense of the rest together. In our sessions, I’m direct, active, and collaborative. We won’t just talk in circles. We can work on connecting the dots and explore the patterns that may be keeping you stuck.

I also work closely with first responders and their families, understanding the unique pressures they carry.
Many of the people I work with feel overwhelmed, anxious, exhausted, or disconnected from themselves. They’re carrying more than they’ve ever said out loud—stress from parenting, work, trauma, relationship challenges, or the pressure to hold everything together. They want a space where they can finally breathe, feel understood, and make sense of what’s been weighing on them. Most of all, they want to feel more grounded, more confident, and more like themselves again.

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.
