About

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

Welcome! I'm so glad you're here!

​

If you're struggling with the emotional weight of high-stakes work, the challenges of being a first responder, or feeling the toll of trauma and burnout, I want you to know that healing is not only possible—it’s within reach. Whether you're in the field yourself or supporting a loved one who is, the unique pressures you face can take a serious toll on your mental health and relationships. But together, we can break free from those burdens, heal from past wounds, and reclaim your emotional well-being, all while maintaining the strength and resilience that make you excel.

​

I have a deep passion for working with first responders, military personnel, and their families because I know how much they give—often at the expense of their own well-being. As a volunteer with the First Responder Support Network providing EMDR services to first responders, or their spouses, I’ve seen firsthand the toll that trauma, stress, and burnout can take. I recognize the unique challenges you face—whether it's navigating PTSD/PTSI, processing a critical incident, managing high-stress environments, or trying to maintain balance in your relationships and day-to-day life. My goal is to create a safe, supportive, and non-judgmental space where we can work together to overcome these obstacles and build resilience.

​

In our work together, I’ll draw on a combination of evidence-based approaches including EMDR, hypnotherapy, mindfulness, and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), all within a person-centered framework. Each of these approaches is designed to help you break free from unhelpful thought patterns, heal from trauma, and build a healthier, more balanced life. Whether you’re experiencing anxiety, depression, or a significant life transition, I’m here to empower you with the tools and support you need to navigate through it and come out stronger on the other side.

​

If you’re ready to take that first step toward healing and reclaim your strength, I’d be honored to support you. Healing is within your reach—let's start today with a brief 15-minute phone call. You deserve to feel whole, strong, and supported, and together, we can build the foundation for a healthier, more balanced future.
