Introduction

As the spouse of a first responder and an Army combat medic veteran, I understand the unique demands and sacrifices that come with a life of service. These lived experiences inspired me to specialize in supporting first responders, military service members, veterans, ER and healthcare professionals, their families, and individuals impacted by trauma. I strive to create a space where clients can show up exactly as they are, without judgment and without having to explain the culture or the weight they carry. Sessions are authentic, grounded, and human. There is room for laughter, emotion, direct language, and real conversation, because healing is not about perfection; it is about being seen, heard, and supported. I support clients in building resilience, developing effective coping tools, and creating boundaries that promote healing and sustainable growth. I am especially passionate about EMDR therapy and integrate it with a variety of trauma-informed and attachment-focused approaches to meet each client's individual needs. I am a Military Star Behavioral Health Provider and am currently completing my Certified First Responder certification. I have specialty training in trauma, abuse, and deprivation, and work from an evidence-based, trauma-informed approach to support healing, resilience, and long-term recovery.
