I’m not here to tell you what to do.
After more than 20 years as a therapist, I’ve learned that the most useful thing I can offer isn’t a prescriptive checklist — it’s a thought partner who understands the science well enough to make it actually mean something to you.
A lot of people come to me having already done the reading. They’ve watched the YouTube videos, followed the trauma accounts on TikTok, maybe tried meditation or journaling or breathwork. Some of it helped. Some of it didn’t, and they couldn’t figure out why. That gap — between knowing something intellectually and understanding why it does or doesn’t work for your nervous system — is where I spend most of my time.
Your shutdown isn’t your body failing you. Your fragmented memories aren’t a sign that something is broken. The anxiety that won’t respond to logic isn’t a character flaw. These are adaptive responses — your mind and body doing exactly what they were designed to do to help you survive. Understanding that changes everything about how you approach healing.
I work with adults navigating trauma, high-stress careers, grief, and the kind of accumulated weight that doesn’t always have a clean name. I hold a certification as a First Responder Counselor, and I have a particular understanding of what it means to carry the things you see on the job — and why the standard advice often doesn’t land for people in those roles.
My approach is warm, collaborative, and grounded in evidence. I follow your lead. I also bring enough directness that we don’t spend years circling what you actually need to address.
And for whatever you’ve been hesitant to say out loud — there is nothing you could bring into this space that would surprise me. I’ve been doing this a long time. I get it.
Sessions are conducted via telehealth for adults in Georgia, Florida, and South Carolina.
