About

People rarely call me right after a crisis. They call three weeks later, when the adrenaline fades and the quiet gets loud. If that's where you are, you're right on time. I've spent years supervising newer clinicians, which keeps my own work sharp and my excuses few. Most of my clients are combat veterans learning to live in a world that no longer requires armor. Hypervigilance kept you alive once; my job is to help it retire with honor instead of running your errands with you. If you're working a twelve-step program, I'll work with it, not around it, and I mean that practically rather than as a slogan. I'm sometimes the first woman a client has ever spoken to plainly, and I don't take that lightly. What you'll get from me is straightforward talk and no wasted sessions. Call when the quiet gets loud enough.
