I am the owner of Line of Courage Counseling LLC, a private practice in Coeur d’Alene, Idaho, providing compassionate, evidence-based therapy for individuals and families across the lifespan. I provide services in person and through Telehealth (within Idaho). I specialize in supporting first responders, military service members, healthcare professionals, ministry leaders, and their loved ones, offering targeted care that acknowledges the unique stresses and cultural realities of these roles.

Before entering mental healthcare, I served my community in law enforcement for two decades, including work as a Special Victims Unit detective investigating child abuse, sexual assault, and commercial sexual exploitation. My professional experiences exposed me to a wide range of traumatic events and taught me how to hold space for people in their darkest moments—often serving as the voice for those who could not speak for themselves.

My clinical work integrates trauma-informed, evidence-based approaches to help clients process distressing experiences, reduce symptoms, and rebuild functioning and meaning. I draw on practical skills learned in high-stakes environments—crisis management, clear communication, and confidentiality—while emphasizing empathy, safety, and collaboration. Whether addressing acute stress, post-traumatic reactions, grief, moral injury, relationship strain, or occupational burnout, my goal is to help clients regain resilience, restore hope, and move forward with purpose.
