Before becoming a therapist-in-training, I spent 14 years in law enforcement, including time as a tactical team leader. That experience gave me a deep understanding of what it’s like to carry high stress, witness trauma firsthand, and still try to show up like everything’s fine.
I know how hard it can be to take the first step into therapy, which is why I place a strong emphasis on establishing a genuine connection based on trust and why I commit to maintaining a judgement-free zone for those looking to overcome the shame often associated with symptoms of trauma.
Getting support when you need it is a sign of strength, not weakness. Bettering yourself is not something to be looked down on.
