Areas of Focus

I have a passion for providing individual counseling to adults who have struggles related to:

First Responders, Forensic Experts & Criminal Investigators, and Military.

The demands of a high-stress career take a toll on mental health, relationships, and overall well-being. First responders, forensic experts, criminal investigators, and military personnel often experience chronic stress, exposure to traumatic events, and emotional burnout, yet feel pressure to stay strong and keep going. Therapy offers a space to process what you've been carrying—whether it's job-related trauma, difficulty shutting off hypervigilance, or the emotional strain of the work you do. I help professionals in these fields develop tools for stress management, emotional regulation, and reclaiming a sense of self beyond the job. Learn more here

First Responder Spouses

I know what it’s like to have a phone call cut short because an emergency call came out (you’ve probably just learned to stop talking when you hear certain tones in the background, same here). To have holidays be on some random day, or to celebrate Christmas in a parking lot with coffee and cars parked together. To have your kids ask where mom/dad is, and be sad that something important is being missed by their hero. I love and believe the saying “we wear the weight of their badge on our heart.” Being in a relationship with a first responder comes with unique challenges—feeling disconnected, managing home life alone, or carrying the emotional weight of your partner’s job. You may struggle with feeling unseen or like your needs take a backseat to their demanding career. I provide support for spouses to navigate the complexities of their relationship, set healthy boundaries, and find a strong sense of self amidst the challenges. Learn more here

When the Past Won’t Stay in the Past - Trauma & PTSD

Unresolved trauma can affect every part of your life—your mood, your relationships, your ability to feel safe in your own body. Whether you’ve lived through a single traumatic event or years of ongoing stress, the impact can show up in ways that are hard to name: emotional numbness, panic, irritability, trouble sleeping, or a constant sense of unease. Many adults carry the weight of childhood emotional wounds as well—times when their needs weren’t met, their feelings weren’t safe to express, or they had to grow up too fast. Therapy offers a space to begin unpacking these experiences, make sense of your symptoms, and learn how to feel more grounded and in control. I help clients work through trauma using approaches like EMDR, parts work, and nervous system-based tools that support real healing. Learn more here

High-Functioning, But Not Okay

You’ve always been the one who gets things done. You plan ahead, stay on top of everything, and keep it all moving — even when you're falling apart inside. Maybe the anxiety shows up as racing thoughts, sleepless nights, or a constant fear of messing up. Maybe it’s more subtle — an inner restlessness, perfectionism, or need for control that never really lets you rest. For some, it becomes panic, intrusive thoughts, or rituals that feel impossible to stop. These patterns often start early, especially if you grew up in chaos, felt pressure to perform, or learned that being “good” kept you safe. In therapy, we’ll make space to understand the roots of your anxiety, and help you build new ways of relating to fear — not by pushing harder, but by slowing down, listening inward, and creating real internal safety.

Grief that Doesn’t Fit the Script

Grief isn’t just about losing someone you love — it’s about everything that changes in the aftermath. The silence, the questions, the aching space where something used to be. Sometimes grief comes after a death. Sometimes it comes in less visible forms — the loss of a relationship, a future you hoped for, a version of yourself you no longer recognize. Maybe you're grieving a parent who was never really able to show up for you, or navigating the emotional weight of caregiving, estrangement, or life not unfolding the way you thought it would. Grief is personal, nonlinear, and often misunderstood. In therapy, you don’t have to minimize or explain what hurts. We’ll make space for the truth of your experience — messy, painful, complicated — and begin to rebuild from there, at your pace. Read more here
