Anxiety shouldn’t be your baseline. Whether you’re a first responder, a student, or an adult navigating life's many stages. My approach is direct and empathetic - you are the expert of your journey.

Whether you’re on campus, in uniform, or managing the complexities of daily life, I’m here to help you protect your well-being. Let's get to work.
My Background and Approach
My work is rooted in a "tactical alliance." I don’t use clinical jargon or pathologize your experiences; instead, we focus on solution-based strategies to manage cumulative stress and moral injury. We work on shifting from the "survival mode" required on shift to the "thrive mode" needed for your personal life. My goal is to help you build the psychological resilience necessary to sustain a long career and a healthy home life. I use a person-centered approach to ensure you feel seen and heard, prioritizing a warm, inviting environment. I am dedicated to building a diverse toolkit of evidence-based theories and resources tailored to your specific needs. Together, we will navigate your journey in a way that feels empowering and true to who you are.
My Personal Beliefs and Interests
Seeking help can feel like a risk to your professional standing. My approach is rooted in "cultural humility" - I don’t pretend to know what it’s like to be in your boots, but I am committed to learning your world. I focus on building a tactical alliance: a no-nonsense, solution-focused partnership where we address the physiological and psychological impacts of the job without pathologizing your experiences. In our work together, we move beyond generic talk therapy. We address the "cumulative trauma" that builds up over a 20-year career. We look at how "dark humor," while a vital survival tool on the job, might be creating distance at home. We work on shifting the "on-off switch" so you can be fully present for your family without the constant hum of the scanner in the back of your mind.
