You’ve been on the front lines helping, serving, and protecting. What happened there doesn’t have to keep haunting you.
I offer virtual, HIPAA-secured video therapy to individuals living in California and Illinois, and in-person sessions in West LA and Long Beach.
you’re still carrying the weight
Working in professions where lives are on the line can carry both great reward and great risk. You see the things that most people couldn’t handle. Some of it — what you did, what you saw, what you couldn't prevent — is difficult to shake. Maybe there's not a day that goes by that it doesn't find you (or night, for that matter). The way you think about yourself may have changed — I'm not safe, I don't deserve to be here, I thought I was a good person but now I'm not so sure. And all of that can make it hard to be present in and enjoy your life and work.
Get your life and confidence back
If you want to stop being ambushed by the memories, be present with the people you love without being somewhere else in your head, feel like you deserve to be at your dinner table — and find a way to carry it that doesn't cost you the present — I specialize in therapy that actually moves the needle.
emdr can help
Whether you can't stop reliving how terrifying it was, or can't stop condemning yourself for your part in it (or both), EMDR can help your nervous system heal what words alone can't reach — and it doesn't involve detailed retelling of the events. Therapy with me is confidential, private, and doesn't have to affect your career.
