Finding Relief and Recovery

In my practice, I guide first responders and veterans, and those of high stakes professions as they process trauma and other challenges. I provide evidence-based, culturally informed care rooted in my own lived military experience to help you find a path forward.

She is the essential companion I did not know I needed when my family welcomed her into our home several years ago.

Autumn is more than a pet; she is my steady source of calm and loyalty through difficult times. Her quiet awareness when I am stressed reminds me that strength is often found in patient consistency. This stability allows me to remain dedicated to serving veterans and first responders.

 

She represents the steadfast care I provide in my work: a reliable presence ensuring that no one has to manage their heavy burdens alone. Through my clinical practice, I strive to offer that same level of safety and unwavering support to every individual I treat, utilizing my experience to guide others toward a path of resilience and renewed inner peace.
