First Responders Therapist

You Run Toward the Crisis. This Space is for You to Exhale.

In our therapy sessions, we will focus on:

    •    Addressing cumulative trauma and critical incident stress

    •    Managing hypervigilance, irritability, and emotional numbness

    •    Processing grief, guilt, and moral injury

    •    Preventing and recovering from burnout and compassion fatigue

    •    Navigating sleep issues, anxiety, or substance use

    •    Supporting identity, relationships, and life outside the uniform

    •    Creating coping strategies that work in high-stress environments

    •    Reconnecting with purpose and restoring emotional balance

As a first responder—whether you’re a firefighter, EMT, paramedic, police officer, dispatcher, or frontline medical professional—you face danger, trauma, and chaos most people can’t even imagine. You’re trained to stay calm under pressure, to protect and serve. But that doesn’t mean you’re unaffected. The stress builds. The images linger. And eventually, it takes a toll.

As a licensed psychotherapist and former medical doctor who works with first responders, I offer a space where you don’t have to be “tough” or “on”—a space where you can talk freely, decompress, and process the emotional weight you carry every day. This isn’t weakness. It’s maintenance for the mind, heart, and nervous system that never stop working.

You take care of everyone else. This is where someone takes care of you.  Let’s help you stay strong by finding the strength to process, release, and rebuild.

I provide therapy in Beverly Hills, Brentwood, Venice, Marina Del Rey, Culver City, Mar Vista, Playa Del Rey, West Los Angeles, Pacific Palisades, Palms, and Santa Monica.
