I provide trauma-informed therapy to first responders and healthcare workers.  I also serve GT teens and adults and survivors of sexual abuse.

As a Certified First Responder Counselor with a background in trauma nursing, I understand all too well the joys and burdens of caring for others; the expectations, the stress, and the burnout that comes when we don’t deal with the traumas we face every day.  Whether it is a big, identifiable TRAUMA, or the build-up of daily traumas, I get it!  You can get to back to a place where you care again – for yourself and for others.  You can look forward to the day rather than dreading getting out of bed.  I can help!
