What We Treat

Whether you're navigating everyday challenges such as anxiety, stress, relationship concerns, or life transitions, or facing issues more unique to a life of service, therapy can help. I work with first responders and veterans experiencing trauma, burnout, moral injury, grief, occupational stress, and the cumulative impact of repeatedly showing up for others.

Depression

Depression can make it difficult to find motivation, enjoy activities you once loved, and stay connected to the people and things that matter most. Therapy can help you understand the factors contributing to depression, develop effective coping strategies, and gradually reconnect with meaningful activities and experiences.

PTSD-Trauma

For first responders and veterans, trauma can stem from a single critical incident or the cumulative impact of repeatedly witnessing difficult events over the course of a career. Using Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT), one of the most effective and well-researched treatments for PTSD, I help clients process these experiences, reduce distressing symptoms, and regain a greater sense of balance both on and off the job.

Burnout and Occupational Stress

The demands of a career in public service can take a toll over time, leading to emotional exhaustion, cynicism, irritability, and feeling disconnected from the work that once gave you purpose. Therapy can help you identify the impact of chronic stress, develop healthier coping strategies, and restore a sense of balance, resilience, and well-being.

Relationships and Marital Challenges

The demands of shift work, long hours, critical incidents, and the emotional weight of the job can create challenges in relationships both at home and with loved ones. Therapy can help you improve communication, strengthen connections, navigate conflict, and find healthier ways to balance the responsibilities of service with the people who matter most.

Family Members

Irregular schedules, missed holidays, exposure to trauma, and the emotional demands of the job can impact relationships and family life. Therapy can help spouses, partners, and family members navigate these stressors, improve communication, strengthen relationships, and develop strategies for maintaining their own well-being while supporting a loved one in public service.

Stressors Unique to the Job

Many first responders and veterans struggle with transitioning from work to home, difficulty relaxing, anxiety, sleep problems, burnout, Moral Injury and the stress of always being "on." Retirement and career changes can also bring challenges as you adjust to a new routine, identity, and sense of purpose. Therapy can help you navigate these changes and find a healthier balance both on and off the job.
