Inward & Upward Therapy · First responders and families
When life keeps your nervous system on high alert, finding your way back to balance can feel difficult.
Through trauma-informed individual psychotherapy and specialized educational programs, I help people understand how stress, trauma, and life experiences affect their nervous system, emotional well-being, and relationships.
With a particular focus on first responders, veterans, and their families, my work combines clinical understanding with practical strategies for meaningful change.
