You don't have to explain the job before you can talk about how it's affecting you.

Therapy here is conversational, collaborative, and grounded in an understanding of crisis work, community mental health, and helping professions.

You don't have to minimize the dark humor, complicated feelings, system frustration, or experiences that can be difficult to explain to people outside the field. We'll make space for both the impact of the work and the person you are outside of it.

Yes. My background includes years of working in crisis and community mental health alongside first responders, crisis professionals, social workers, therapists, and other helping professionals. I understand the unique stress that can come with being responsible for others, working within complicated systems, and regularly being exposed to crisis and trauma, and you won’t have to spend half the session explaining the job before we can talk about how it’s affecting you.

Therapy is confidential, and your employer is not notified simply because you choose to seek therapy. We currently do not contract or take on any mandated clients through their employer. anyone who see’s us comes because they choose to. Your privacy matters, especially when your work involves public safety, healthcare, or helping others. We’ll review confidentiality and its limits with you from the beginning, so you can feel informed about what is, and isn’t, shared outside of therapy.

Repeated exposure to crisis, trauma, and loss can stay with you long after the call, case, or shift ends. Therapy provides a confidential space to process those experiences, understand how the work may be affecting you, and develop ways to manage stress, boundaries, and emotional impact, without expecting you to simply “leave it at work.”

Yes! We currently accept BCBS PPO & Aetna PPO
