About Me

I'm a Licensed Clinical Social Worker offering teletherapy services to clients throughout Florida, Maryland, North Carolina, South Carolina, and Tennessee. I specialize in trauma-informed therapy for military service members, veterans, first responders, and high-achieving individuals and couples who are ready to break cycles of anger, emotional shutdown, and disconnection. Whether you're navigating the impact of trauma, burnout, or relationship distress, I offer a direct, supportive, and strategic approach to healing. I provide both weekly therapy and EMDR or Gottman-based intensives designed for clients who want deep, focused work and fast results. As an EMDRIA-certified clinician trained in the Gottman Method (Levels 1 & 2), my practice integrates evidence-based methods with a grounded, compassionate presence. Whether you're carrying trauma that won't quiet down, stuck in communication cycles that keep you distant and defensive, or seeking to rebuild trust and purpose after service or burnout, this work is designed for you. My clients value direct, compassionate care that honors both their strength and their need for emotional safety. If you're ready for deeper healing with real tools and real progress, I’m here to help. You can also visit my website: https://www.breakinthedawn.com/
