At the core of my practice is a belief in the healing power of human connection. Resilience isn’t just about pushing through—it’s about having a place to pause, process, and rebuild. I work from the understanding that first responders are trained to stay composed in chaos, often at the cost of their own emotional well-being.
I integrate evidence-based practices such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), and Solution-Focused Therapy, all within a collaborative, supportive relationship.
Together, we explore what matters most—building practical tools for emotional regulation and resilience, while fostering a deeper connection to self. Whether you’re navigating trauma, burnout, or the everyday stressors life, you don’t have to carry it alone. ​
