Great to meet you!
There is a kind of strength that looks like having it together from the outside, while something much heavier is going on underneath. I work with adults navigating the long aftermath of trauma, including combat veterans, survivors of sexual assault, and people carrying grief, relationship strain, or the weight of experiences that have never fully been processed. Before becoming a therapist, I served as a Navy helicopter pilot. That background shapes how I understand resilience, and what it actually costs to ask for help when you have spent years being trained to push through.
