Experience

1. Clinically Licensed Trauma Therapist

   Marvin Behavioral Health

   Apr 2025 — Present

   As a Clinically Licensed Trauma Therapist, I specialize in supporting hospital staff, physicians, and nurses navigating the intense emotional demands of healthcare. With extensive experience in trauma-informed care, I work closely with medical professionals experiencing compassion fatigue, burnout, vicarious trauma, and the depression and anxiety that often accompany high-stakes caregiving roles.My practice is grounded in evidence-based interventions and trauma-informed practices, combining somatic healing, and cognitive techniques to help clients reclaim balance, resilience, and purpose. I understand the unique pressures that come with saving lives daily while navigating systemic challenges, emotional exhaustion, and a deep sense of responsibility.Through individual therapy, I help frontline workers process their experiences, set boundaries, and reconnect with their \"why\"—so they can continue to serve others without losing themselves in the process.
