Founder of Beyond the Storm, specializing in first responders, survivors of abuse, anxiety and post-traumatic stress.

About

Providing direct, trauma-informed care to help first responders and high-stress professionals move from survival to strength.

I am the founder and owner of Beyond the Storm Behavioral Health. My mission is to provide highly specialized, trauma-informed care for first responders, survivors of abuse, and individuals navigating anxiety, OCD, mood disorders, and PTSD. Alongside my clinical work, I provide organizational wellness services and professional trainings focused on trauma, resilience, and the unique demands of high-exposure professions.

In addition to owning Beyond the Storm Behavioral Health, I serve as a Supervisory Forensic Child Interview Specialist with the FBI. I previously spent more than a decade in forensic interviewing and supervisory roles there before recently returning to federal service. Throughout my career, I have conducted nearly 3,000 forensic interviews, developing extensive expertise in trauma, victimology, and forensic psychology. My experience in both clinical practice and federal law enforcement shapes my approach to therapy, allowing me to provide a safe, supportive, direct, and practical space for healing and growth. Beyond my clinical and federal roles, I regularly provide expert witness testimony, consultation, and professional training, and I teach criminal justice and psychology at the undergraduate and graduate levels.
