For 25 years, I served as a paramedic in Kansas City, working alongside first responders, military personnel, and frontline professionals in moments of crisis. That experience shaped my understanding of how stress and trauma imprint themselves on the mind and body. Now, as a psychodynamic and EMDR-trained psychotherapist—and a fellow first responder—I provide a unique space for you. Whether you are a first responder, executive, healthcare worker, or veteran, I am here to help you uncover how past experiences and unconscious patterns influence your resilience, relationships, and ability to find peace off the clock.

My approach is grounded in specialized training from Northwestern University and is trauma-informed and neurologically aware. I integrate techniques that honor the connection between the brain and body, ranging from somatic awareness to psychodynamic principles. Because healing isn’t just about talking; it’s about helping your nervous system feel safe again.
