Welcome to Southeast Missouri's Premier Trauma Therapy Service

Our Mission

At our therapy practice, we are committed to confronting the mental wellness barriers and gaps in competent care. Our mission is to utilize science and connection to end post-traumatic stress disorder and prevent suicide. We aim to enhance resiliency and readiness to serve, honoring the sacred space we hold for each individual. We understand the unique challenges faced by military personnel, law enforcement, fire, EMS, dispatch, corrections, healthcare workers, and even worn-out parents or those struggling with ADHD. Thank you for taking the courageous step to reach out.

Our Approach

With training in evidence-based trauma recovery therapies, we harness your mind, body, and soul's innate ability to heal and reprocess through natural calming techniques. We are passionate about guiding individuals through suffering and journeying toward wholeness.

Our Services

Specialized Online Therapy

We offer confidential online therapy for individuals and couples, specializing in trauma recovery and addressing symptoms of anxiety, depression, addiction, divorce, PTSD, and suicidal thoughts. As a certified first responder counselor, I understand the unique barriers and needs of the frontline culture. Your vulnerability will be met with compassion, not judgment or shame. I am trained in both EMDR and Accelerated Resolution Therapy, enabling us to heal quicker, adapt faster, and be equipped for the next call.

Mental Health Check-ins and Critical Incident Debriefings

We offer confidential wellness visits for first responders to discuss stress management, resources, and balance. These are not assessments or fit-for-duty evaluations. The focus is on prevention, reducing stigma, and connecting responders to a trained professional. Trained in critical incident stress management, I provide individual debriefings after trauma exposure within a short time frame to reduce the risk of PTSD from unprocessed experiences. Find out how to get your agency connected!

Conferences and Trainings Addressing Mental Wellness

We confront the lies and stigmas surrounding mental health, bringing hope that life can have purpose again. Open and real conversations about mental wellness occur during these experiences. Speaking engagements at panel discussions, first responder wellness conferences, SWAT team trainings, student responders, even churches and community partners. These presentations have been transformative, changing local communities. Let’s work together to design a training for your team or agency!
