Great to meet you!

Reaching out for therapy takes courage — and it's often the first sign that something inside you is ready to change. I work with first responders and others carrying the weight of high-stakes work or difficult life chapters — helping you navigate anxiety, depression, trauma, and life's transitions with compassion and evidence-based care.

Whether you're feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or simply seeking a deeper understanding of yourself, we'll move at a pace that respects you. Sessions are a space to slow down, untangle the noise, and reconnect with what matters most.

My approach to therapy

I draw from cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT), and trauma-informed practices built for real-world resilience — including the cumulative stress and critical incidents first responders face. In session that looks like real conversation, not scripts, paired with concrete tools you can take into your week. Depending on the weather, we might also do some Forest Bathing, or a fireside chat in my office.
