Support that respects the realities of the work.

Earlier in my career, I worked in correctional behavioral health and collaborated closely with corrections professionals in high-pressure environments. I understand the value of direct communication, sound judgment, confidentiality, and support that does not minimize the realities of the job.

I am also part of a military family and married to a law-enforcement professional. That personal connection provides a grounded understanding of shift work, service obligations, and the ways occupational stress can shape routines, relationships, and family life.

Therapy may address cumulative exposure, hypervigilance, irritability, poor sleep, grief, burnout, relationship strain, alcohol use, difficult transitions, or the inability to fully disengage when a shift ends.

You do not need to reach a breaking point or adopt clinical language to justify support. Sometimes the work is simply about recognizing that the current way of carrying things is no longer working.

Sessions are candid, collaborative, and goal-oriented. We will identify the problem, evaluate the patterns around it, and determine practical steps that fit your responsibilities and values.

In-person appointments are available in Oregon City, with secure telehealth throughout Oregon and Washington.
