For years, I ran toward the things most people run away from.

As a former first responder—including wildland firefighting, law enforcement, search and rescue, and emergency response—I understand what it means to carry the weight of the job long after the call is over. I know the adrenaline, the dark humor, the sleepless nights, the hypervigilance, and the unspoken expectation that you're supposed to be the one who holds it all together.

Now, as a Licensed Clinical Social Worker and trauma therapist, I help first responders, veterans, healthcare professionals, and others who have spent their lives taking care of everyone else learn how to take care of themselves.

My approach isn't about "fixing" you. It's about helping you understand how trauma changes the nervous system, how chronic stress impacts the brain and body, and how healing is possible without losing the strengths that helped you survive.

I specialize in trauma, PTSD, critical incident stress, anxiety, depression, attachment wounds, and relationship challenges. My clinical work combines evidence-based practices with practical, real-world experience because I've stood on both sides of the conversation—wearing the uniform and sitting in the therapy chair.

Whether you're struggling after a difficult call, navigating cumulative trauma, battling burnout, or trying to reconnect with your family after years of putting the job first, therapy can provide a place where you don't have to wear the armor.

I believe resilience isn't about pretending you're unaffected. It's about processing what you've carried so it no longer controls your life.

Seeking help isn't a sign of weakness. If you've spent your life being everyone else's safe place, maybe it's time to find one for yourself.

My approach to therapy is collaborative, compassionate, and rooted in understanding the whole person—not just the symptoms they bring into the room. I believe healing happens when clients feel genuinely seen, safe, and empowered to explore their experiences without judgment. Using evidence-based approaches tailored to each individual's needs, I help clients understand how past experiences shape present patterns, strengthen healthy coping skills, regulate the nervous system, and build lasting resilience. My goal is to provide a space where clients can process, heal, and move forward with greater confidence, purpose, and hope.

Your first session is about getting to know you and understanding what brought you to therapy. We'll discuss your current concerns, personal history, strengths, and goals, while moving at a pace that feels comfortable for you. My priority is creating a space where you feel safe, heard, and never judged. Together, we'll begin identifying patterns that may be keeping you stuck and develop a plan that is tailored to your unique needs. You don't have to have everything figured out before you walk through the door—our first session is simply the beginning of your healing journey.
