Helping health professionals and first responders overcome their mental health concerns, trauma, and life transitions is my specialty. Perhaps your family & friends say “You’re just not the same, you’re not like yourself”, as you have become withdrawn, irritable, angry or even aggressive. Do you find what used to be a rewarding work experience is becoming draining and overwhelming? Do you often get reminded of a distressing memory from work? If you startle easily, have aches and pains, or find it hard to concentrate and sleep, you might be wondering, why is this happening and what can I do to overcome this? I’m here to help you.

My deep understanding of the unique challenges of workplace trauma stems from my own experience as a psychiatric emergency nurse. In our work together, I integrate modalities such as Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Humanistic-Existential, and Mindfulness-Based techniques to help you build resilience, develop coping skills, and achieve work-life balance.

If you experience trauma from your work as a helping professional, know that you're not alone. I invite you to schedule a free confidential consultation and take the first step towards healing and reclaiming your well-being in the workplace. Together, we can create a path in your journey towards resilience and empowerment. I look forward to meeting you!
