You spent years running toward what others run from. I am a licensed clinical social worker who trained NYPD officers in mental health crisis de-escalation for nearly a decade. Now I work with first responders and high-risk professionals ready to put themselves first.
Sessions are direct and practical. We start where most first responders are most comfortable: with the facts. What happened, how it is showing up, and what you want to be different. No pressure to speak in clinical terms or arrive with a diagnosis. Over time, we look at the patterns that helped you survive the job but are harder to leave at the door, and we build new ways of responding. I draw on my background in crisis response and high-risk case supervision, keeping the work grounded in what is actually possible for you.
The first session is a conversation. I want to understand your background, what brought you here, and what you want from this work. There is no pressure to have it figured out. Many of the people I work with never expected to be on this side of the conversation. That moment of showing up is the hardest part. You leave knowing we have a plan and a direction.
