“Living a life of daring greatly means cultivating the courage to be vulnerable, to set boundaries, and to let ourselves be seen.” - Brene Brown

I feel deeply honored to support the men and women who serve our communities—as first responders, military members, and the spouses and partners who stand beside them. My work is rooted in both professional training and personal experience. As the spouse of a firefighter and veteran, I have witnessed firsthand the unique pressures that come with these professions—the long shifts, the weight of difficult calls, and the way the job can follow you home. 

Because of this, I have a deep respect for the culture of the fire service, law enforcement, emergency medicine, and the military. I understand how cumulative stress, critical incidents, and the constant responsibility of caring for others can impact mental health, relationships, and a person’s sense of balance. Supporting this community is not just my clinical focus—it is something I care about personally and feel deeply connected to. 

My approach to therapy is grounded in creating a space where people can slow down, feel understood, and begin to process the experiences that may have been carried alone for far too long. Whether someone is navigating post-traumatic stress, burnout, anxiety, depression, or the emotional toll of the job, my goal is to provide a steady, supportive environment where healing and resilience can grow. 

My Work with First Responders and Their Families

Much of my clinical work centers on supporting first responders, military members, and their spouses or significant others. These careers often require individuals to compartmentalize difficult experiences in order to keep moving forward, but over time those experiences can accumulate and begin to impact sleep, relationships, emotional regulation, and overall well-being. 

I work with clients who are navigating critical incidents, occupational trauma, cumulative stress exposure, and the challenges that come with living in high-demand professions. I also enjoy supporting spouses and partners who often carry their own unique stressors while supporting someone in these fields. 

In our work together, I strive to create a collaborative and practical therapeutic process—one that respects the realities of these professions while helping individuals reconnect with their own capacity for healing, resilience, and growth.
