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

Trauma & PTSD

Trauma isn’t just something that happened in the past—it can continue to shape your thoughts, emotions, and body responses long after the event is over. This includes experiences of childhood sexual abuse, which can leave lasting emotional and psychological impacts. I use EMDR, parts work, and somatic approaches to help clients process trauma safely, reduce emotional distress, and develop a greater sense of stability. Read more here

Childhood Trauma & Dysfunctional Family Dynamics

Early experiences shape how we relate to ourselves and others. If you grew up in an environment where love felt conditional, emotions were dismissed, or you had to take on too much responsibility too soon, therapy can help you break free from these patterns, build self-worth, and create healthier relationships.

Anxiety, Social Anxiety & Panic

If your mind is constantly racing—scanning for danger, replaying past conversations, or bracing for the worst—it’s exhausting. Anxiety, social anxiety, and panic often go hand in hand, making everyday situations feel overwhelming. You might second-guess your words, avoid social settings, or live in fear of the next panic attack. These patterns are often fueled by a need for control, fear of failure, or a deep desire to avoid discomfort. Therapy can help you recognize triggers, calm your nervous system, and break free from these cycles so you can step out of survival mode and into a life of greater confidence, peace, and self-trust.
