MILITARY & FIRST RESPONDERS
You've Lost Valuable Parts of Yourself. Let's Go On A Rescue Mission to Get 'Em Back.
As a former military cop, I understand the good reasons you have for not getting help sooner. Unfortunately, whiskey, dark humor and roasts can only go so far. You need help from someone who really gets the risks of seeking help, the job, and the demons you've faced.
You're ready to change and willing to put in the hard work. You’ve finally come to terms that you can't do this alone.
Let's work together to heal those invisible wounds.
I help military and first responders with:
Combat/LOD Trauma
Relationship Problems
Parenting Struggles
Childhood Abuse, Neglect
Anger, Rage, Aggression
Betrayal & Moral Injuries
Stress, Burnout
Increased Substance Use
Suicidal/Homicidal Thoughts
Heal Your Wounds
From the inside out
Starting therapy, whether you have done it before or not, is like opening a new chapter of your life. It symbolizes your readiness for change and growth. To do better, be better, and feel better while doing it.
No matter what brought you here, I'm glad you made it. You may think you have lost hope, but the fact that you are reading this, means hope still lives within you. I'm here to tell you, those tough times weren't for nothing. We're going to use that to foster positive growth.
We're not going to put a Band-Aid on you and call it a day. You've been through some real pain, and if you rubbed dirt on it, taped it up, or powered through, it will continue to fester or even get worse until you get proper care.
Healing from the inside out is not only an investment in yourself, but an investment in those you love.
No diagnosis
Our work aims to help you be able to fully show up and authentically live the life you’ve been longing for.
I offer personalized, high-quality therapy that does not attach a diagnosis to you, unless you want one. This can allow you the safety and comfort to fully embrace healing without worrying about it impacting your military or first responder career.
