You handle everything. Who’s handling you?
You’re the one people call. At work, at home, at 2 a.m. You show up, you get it done, and then you sit in the car for ten minutes before you can walk into your own house.
That’s not a flaw in your character. It’s what happens when survival mode goes on so long it starts to feel like your personality.
Maybe it’s burnout. Maybe it’s something old that never got dealt with, or the weight of the last hundred calls, patients, or deadlines. Maybe you just know something is off and can’t say what. You don’t have to have it figured out before you reach out.

Therapy That Goes Beyond Nodding and Coping Skills
This is not passive therapy.
I work directly, honestly, and collaboratively with people who are exhausted from holding everything together while silently struggling underneath it all. I’m supportive, compassionate, and grounded but I will also challenge you when needed, especially when the patterns keeping you stuck are costing you your peace, relationships, identity, or health.
Many of the people I work with are high-functioning and highly visible. They’re the ones others look up to, rely on, or expect to always have it together. Federal employees.Healthcare workers.Military service members.First responders. Pilots. Executives. Public figures.Professional athletes. Actors. Musicians. Performers. People living under pressure, scrutiny, responsibility, or constant expectations while privately struggling with burnout, anxiety, emotional exhaustion, trauma, overwhelm, or disconnection from themselves.
There’s often a disconnect between who the world sees and what’s actually happening internally.
Together, our work may include:
• Trauma processing
• Nervous system regulation
• Burnout prevention and recovery
• Emotional awareness
• Behavioral pattern shifts
• Identity and stress recovery
• Practical tools that actually work
• Lasting, meaningful change
I offer you space to vent, process, unravel, and say the things you can’t say anywhere else.
But we also work toward helping you understand what’s happening internally, break the patterns that are keeping you stuck, and create meaningful, lasting change, not just temporary relief for one hour a week.
The goal isn’t perfection.
The goal is helping you feel more grounded, more connected to yourself, and less trapped in survival mode all the time.
Why I do this work
I went through the police and corrections academy in my twenties as a young mom, chasing a version of strength I could wear like armor. I raised my kids mostly on my own and earned my degrees at the kitchen table, between dinner and karate practice. I’m a military daughter, a former military spouse, a grandmother, and the mother of two service members and a police officer.
I also know what it’s like to look capable on the outside while falling apart in silence. My credentials matter, and I’m proud of them. But I’d rather you know who you’re talking to than hide behind letters after my name.
What working with me looks like
I’m not a blank-slate therapist. I’ll listen, and I’ll also tell you straight when I think a pattern is costing you your sleep, your relationships, or your health. We go after the root of it, not only the symptoms.
Depending on what you need, that might mean EMDR, Cognitive Processing Therapy, Written Exposure Therapy, CBT, or DBT skills, along with body-based work to get you out of your head. If you’re overwhelmed, we start by getting you steady before we touch the hard stuff. You set the pace.
You can also just vent. Say the things you can’t say anywhere else. That’s welcome here too.
