Growing up in a first responder household and having family members who are or have been first responders, I understand firsthand the unique pressures and challenges that come with this line of work. Police officers, firefighters, EMTs, and other first responders face high-stress situations, exposure to trauma, and emotional demands that can affect both their mental health and personal lives. My approach is compassionately direct, confidential, relational, and tailored specifically to the needs of first responders. Together, we focus on building resilience, managing stress, and developing coping strategies to support your well-being, so you can continue serving your community while taking care of yourself.  

I am a Certified First Responder Counselor through Academy Hour, trained in Accelerated Resolution Therapy (ART), and entering into my final year towards certification as a Somatic Experiencing Practitioner.
