I work with those who are often relied on—like first responders, parents, and professionals—who are used to holding everything together but are now feeling burned out, overwhelmed, and disconnected from themselves.
This work goes beyond just managing symptoms, helping you feel more steady, grounded, and connected to yourself and your relationships.
Specialized Trauma Therapy for the Ones Who Carry So Much
EMDR & Trauma Therapy in Roseville, CA & Across California | Virtual Therapy in Utah
You may be the one others rely on—the steady one, the capable one, the one who holds everything together. And lately, it’s starting to feel like too much.
This space is for people who feel the pressure to be fine, even when something deeper is asking for care and attention. Here, the roles you carry are honored—but they don’t define the entirety of who you are. Together, we create space for the parts of you that don’t get much room elsewhere—not just what you do or carry, but who you are underneath it.
If faith is part of your life- I welcome integrating this thoughtfully, in a way that reflects what is meaningful to you.
Personalized. Present. Trauma-Informed.
Therapy That Meets You in what's hard, Without Flinching
My path to becoming a therapist was shaped by my own healing journey—one formed through trauma, loss, performance-based pressure, and the unique stressors of life within a first responder family, with faith as an anchor along the way.
That lived experience, alongside my clinical training, shapes how I show up in this work. I don’t just sit back and ask questions—I’m present, engaged, and attuned.
Why I Do This Work
You're functioning, sure, but the tension in your shoulders says otherwise. You’re on edge more often than not, and even rest feels like another task on the to-do list.
You’ve Been Holding It Together for a Long Time
You’ve seen hard things. And some of them stick around longer than they should. Maybe it hits you at night. Maybe it shows up when you least expect it. Either way, it’s heavy.
You Keep Replaying That One Call, And It Won’t Let You Go
You're successful, driven, maybe even admired, but something's not syncing. You're tired of feeling stuck in your head and out of touch with yourself.
Everything Looks Great On Paper. So Why Does It Feel Off?
Maybe things went sideways. Maybe no one prepared you for how hard this would feel. You love your baby, and still, you're grieving what happened, or what didn’t.
Birth Was Supposed to Be Beautiful. It Was Anything But.
You’ve gotten very good at saying “It’s fine” so they don’t have to carry what you carry. But somewhere along the way, protecting them started to look like pulling away.
You want to protect your partner from the things you’ve seen or felt, but it’s starting to cost you.
You’re smart, capable, and constantly bracing for guilt or conflict. People-pleasing got you far. But it’s also left you drained, resentful, and out of touch with your own needs.

Confidential therapy for professionals navigating pressure, visibility, and responsibility—including leaders, creatives, and those in the public eye.
Professionals and couples in leadership or high-responsibility roles
This grounding guide was developed to support increased regulation and development of a personal plan for engaging skills to support regulation based on the level of stress, overwhelm, or activation being felt in a moment.
The activation scale supports the understanding that at certain heightened experiences, certain grounding tools may feel harder to use than others (ex. using breathwork when feeling a sense of panic can be challenging, but visual orienting may support grounding in that moment).
