ERHC 360 Mental Health Directory

"I have a unique perspective having worked 14 years with, and in, law enforcement before becoming a counselor. I understand the inner workings and 'political trapeze,' as well as how this stress manifests in families. I am very invested in wanting to be helpful and have had success treating our invaluable first responders."

PTSD (from both professional exposure and family trauma) |
Complex PTSD (i.e. stemming from childhood abuse) |
Grief & Loss

"I spent 7 years in the Army National Guard. Many of my Army colleagues have shifted into careers as emergency responders; I find that the communities and cultures are very similar - and close to my heart. After serving as a Staff Sergeant, I have developed a style that is direct, to the point, and solutions-focused, which is highly applicable to military members and first responders."

Anxiety | Stress-Related Disorders | Trauma

"I have been a military wife for more than 22 years, and am the mother of a wildlands firefighter. These experiences give me a unique understanding of the challenges of these high-stress professions, as well as the perspective of the loved one who keeps everything running at home while the responder is away on duty. I find great value in working with emergency responders and military personnel who are dedicated and hardworking - not just in their marriages and families, but in serving the community in countless and often unseen ways."

Couples Counseling | Attachment Injuries | Life Transitions

"I have family and friends who are veterans and law enforcement officers; the unique issues they face are close to my heart. The daily stresses first responders face can be difficult. Protecting one's family members from the 'behind the scenes' details of the job can result in isolation, emotional distancing, and may be beyond words. I use Accelerated Resolution Therapy because it doesn't require talking or writing about trauma. Generally, just a few sessions can help a first responder get back to making life beautiful."

PTSD | Depression | Anxiety

"Giving support to emergency responders and their family members is important to me, because I want everyone to have a space to decompress and unburden themselves. I believe treatment with a caring, supportive counselor can provide that space."

Depression | Anxiety | ADD/ADHD

"As a military spouse and in my experience working in hospital settings, I have seen first-hand the weight of what emergency responders and their families carry on a daily basis."

Eating Disorders | Social Phobias | PTSD
