PEER SUPPORT

You get it or you don't.

I am a certificated practitioner of Critical Incident Stress Management, where I work in both a peer and clinical capacity.  As I continue to expand  my footprint within the collaborative network of psychological first aid, I am open to private practice referrals for crisis stabilization among police, fire, and EMS.

An ardent advocate for grassroot change, my boots-on-the-ground mentality thrives within the grit and grace of fieldwork.  Like-minded stakeholders are encouraged to reach out regarding opportunities to bolster socioeconomic wellbeing.    


Guided by reckless abandon, previous engagements have included: stability counseling in England, family care In Turkey, prison accountability in Uganda, parole counseling in San Quentin, refugee support in New Jersey.


Both a peer and advocate, I find comfort in discomfort and calm in chaos. Tethered only to the blood in my veins, the world is my oyster add sea my grave.
