For first responders & the people who care about them
When the shift follows you home.
I help first responders and their families understand how the demands of the job can affect life at home, and find practical ways to move toward greater presence and connection.
Informed by clinical practice. Grounded in lived family experience. Focused on connection at home.

I know this work from more than one perspective.
I’m a Registered Psychotherapist, a daughter and sister of a police officer, and the mother of a paramedic. First responder family life has been part of my life across generations and from different perspectives.
That lived experience informs my understanding of how the job can follow someone home, and how the impact can be felt by the person in uniform and by the people who love them.
