I help adults in high-pressure careers, from executives and healthcare professionals to first responders and military members, work through trauma, chronic stress, and burnout.
I’m supportive and direct, using EMDR, ART, and other evidence-based approaches to improve your quality of life and build tools you can use on your own.
First session
The first session is just a simple talk. We go over what brought you in, what therapy is, and how it works. We also cover the history I need to know to help you reach your goals. I answer your questions and explain what may be going on. You leave with a clear plan and support for the next step.
Strengths
My approach is honest, direct, and focused on your quality of life, not a checklist. I tailor each session to what actually matters to you, tell you what I see, and help you build skills that make a real difference in your daily life and work.
Ideal clients
My ideal clients are ready to do the work. Many are in high-stress jobs, like first responders, military, or CEOs, and are used to being the ones others lean on. They are willing to look at the truth and grow. They want a full life and real skills to use at home, at work, and long after we are done.
Origin story
What drew me to this work is the moment someone realizes they’re more capable than they thought. I love helping people uncover their internal strengths and the skills they already have, then build on them.
Ongoing work together
Each session builds on the last. We work on your goals with tools that fit you, and we check in on what is helping. You will know you are making progress as you sleep better, react less, feel more in control, use your skills on your own, and see your quality of life grow both at home and at work.
Treatment methods
EMDR
I use EMDR or similar methods to help you work through hard memories and the feelings tied to them, without having to talk them out over and over.
Trauma-Informed Care
Trauma-informed care shapes all that I do. I focus on safety, trust, and choice, so you set the pace and never have to share more than you are ready to. I look at what happened to you, and we build on the strengths that got you this far to help you heal and grow.
Person-centered (Rogerian)
I see you as the expert on your own life. My role is to listen without judgment, reflect back what I hear, and help you get clear on what you want. I trust that you have what it takes to grow, and I shape our work to fit your own values and goals, not a one-size-fits-all plan or a checklist.
Acceptance and commitment (ACT)
I use ACT to help you stop fighting hard thoughts and feelings and make room for them instead. We get clear on what matters most to you, then take small steps toward it, even when it feels hard. The goal is to live a full life that is in line with your values.
