I offer support for first responders and their families struggling with traumatic stress, organizational stressors, work-life balance, burnout, anxiety, depression, and relationship difficulties. I believe experience as a first responder and my work with them has been my greatest teacher. But I have also formally prepared to assist first responders to be mentally healthy. I earned a PhD in Counseling Psychology and an M.S. in Criminal Justice. I trained in EMDR, the recommended treatment for trauma. I studied factors that influenced officers' ability to cope with traumatic stress, factors that helped officers maintain work-life balance, and the decision-making processes of seasoned first responders regarding leaving the job. I've studied the work of others to better my understanding of the impact of the work to prepare compelling arguments for better services and coverage for mental injuries from the job. I offer Individual and group debriefings for critical incidents. I am ICISF trained in the CISM model as well as Psychological First Aid for field responses. I also offer organizational training and consultations. Preventative training empowers first responders to be healthier. Investing in their health pays for itself. I offer training in stress management, coping and resilience, work-life balance, healthy relationships, and crisis communications. Courses can be designed to meet needs of the agency. Training packages available. I also offer consulting for development and training of CISM and Peer Support Teams.
