As a retired police officer and licensed mental health clinician, I have firsthand experience with the pressures of modern policing. After serving as a police officer in a complex, urban environment, then working as a clinical therapist in a premier psychiatric hospital and now as a wellness facilitator for the Brown University Health system, I provide a unique skill set, and bring credibility, cultural competence, and an understanding rooted in lived experience.
Though I no longer serve my community wearing a uniform and badge, I continue to serve in my second career by teaching the importance of strengthening officer mental health and wellness.
I offer two specialized wellness programs—one for patrol officers and one for first-line supervisors—delivered across New England and at the Roger Williams University Justice System Training and Research Institute. I am also available to partner with interested departments to customize a program that best fits their unique needs.
Format Options:
Patrol Officer Training
First-Line Supervisor Training
All sessions include Q&A and discussion.
I bridge the gap between law enforcement culture and mental health science. I equip officers with the tools, strategies, and insight needed to stay resilient, healthy, and grounded. My goal is to support those who serve—because strong officers build strong communities.
A Necessary Investment
Investing in officer mental health strengthens:
Wellness is not optional. It is essential for effective policing.
I bring a deeply informed perspective to the vital conversation around wellness in policing, understanding firsthand the psychological toll this profession can take-because I lived it. My mission now is to serve the law enforcement community in a different capacity; by providing insight, knowledge and strategies for resilience and how to remain emotionally strong when things become stressful. Through the workshops and presentations, the goal is to bridge the gap between the culture of law enforcement and the science of mental health.
Wellness is not a luxury-it’s a necessity for effective, sustainable service. Investing in the mental health of our officers is essential for the safety, performance, and longevity of those who protect and serve.
