I provide support for

Firefighters

Why am I a good fit to work with first responders?
I have huge respect for helpers, and it would be my honor to return the favor. My spouse of 12 years is a District Chief with the Fire Department. I have two young kids and I am very intimately familiar with the stress and schedule that comes with the responsibility of this career (on fire fighters and their families). I believe with my whole heart in showing up for people and offering them firstly, dignity, and secondly a comfortable, confidential place to share their stories, thoughts and feelings.

What other first responder issues and goals do I work with?
I have specialized in Trauma and Grief since I began my career in 2013. I've worked in both outpatient and crisis stabilization inpatient settings. I've worked with individuals dealing with sexual abuse / violent crime victims, loss, depression, anxiety, self-esteem issues, and difficult life transitions. I have been certified in Trauma Focused Cognitive Behavioral (TF-CBT) and Childhood Traumatic Grief (CTG) through Medical University of SC (MUSC). And, I am a proud LGBTQ+ Ally.
