Do you ever feel like daily life is a struggle, or that navigating big changes seems impossible? Maybe you’ve been carrying the weight of trauma, complex emotions, and experiences that leave you feeling misunderstood—like no one truly gets how your mind works, or worse, you don’t even fully understand it yourself. If you’ve faced discrimination or battled with self-harm, suicidal thoughts, or dissociation, it can be hard to find a therapist who truly gets it. But the good news is that you don’t have to do this alone.

Trauma, anxiety, depression, and relationship struggles-and the symptoms that come with these-tend to impact so many aspects of our lives. It's when those symptoms go into overdrive that we begin to feel lost and isolated, and that ends up affecting how we are and how we act in the world. When our fears, secrets, and distress build up over time and we have no outlet to let them out and begin to face them, those feelings become overwhelming and eventually, leave us feeling isolated, fed up, anxious, and drained. You are not alone!

I personally understand the unique experiences that veterans, active Military, and their families go through with their transitions from combat deployments and getting out of the military.
I believe that everyone has a right to live the life that they desire; however, life does not always work out as we hope. We cannot predict the events that will happen to us or how they will impact our lives. However, we can choose how we will respond to those events. As a therapist, I have the opportunity to be a partner as you work to improve your life. I believe that education, practical application, evidence-based techniques, and a focus on measurable outcomes are the fastest ways to achieve the client’s goals. I think that therapy should be as brief as necessary, with a primary focus on helping the client achieve their goals.

Hello! Looking for a therapist is hard, and I would love to be able to end that search for you. My overall goal is to help you live your life more holistically, reducing the affect and impact that past traumas have on you. I strive to create with you a space of safety and support to help reach your goals and grow into the person you want to be. One of the ways that we will be able to achieve that is through a somatic/interoceptive perspective and bringing awareness to what your body is telling you in moments of any heightened emotion.

My clients are ideally willing to openly explore how current and past life stressors contribute to learned behavior patterns that may be ineffective and influence day-to-day suffering. I believe our life experiences influence us but do not have to define us or determine how we will function in the world. Additionally, we all have multiple identities, and we must learn to thrive in a world that is often ill-prepared to treat us with the respect and kindness we deserve. I understand the systemic obstacles often faced by people from diverse communities and seek to empower and support my clients.

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.
