Care built by someone who understands the job

Why this population, specifically

First responders and veterans carry a different kind of trauma load — repeated exposure, split-second decisions with lasting consequences, and a culture that often prizes toughness over processing. I've built my practice around understanding that, not around asking you to explain it from scratch.

Moral injury

Sometimes the hardest wounds aren't about fear — they're about actions taken, or not taken, that conflict with your own values. Moral injury is real, and it responds to trauma-focused treatment, including EMDR.

Cumulative stress

You don't need a single catastrophic event to be carrying trauma. Years of accumulated calls, deployments, or incidents can build the same nervous system patterns as a single major trauma — and deserve the same quality of care.

Confidentiality

I understand the specific concerns first responders and veterans have about seeking care — fitness for duty, career impact, and privacy within tight-knit units. These concerns are addressed directly, not brushed past.
