1–3 Day EMDR Intensives for First Responders and High Stress Professionals Who Can't Shut Their Brain Off After Shift. If you don't have months to spend in weekly therapy but know something has to change, you're not alone. Years of critical incidents, difficult calls, and constantly putting others first eventually take a toll. On the outside, you're still showing up and getting the job done. But underneath, the cumulative impact of operational stress and trauma has become harder to ignore. You don't need to keep pushing through—you need the opportunity to process what you've been carrying.
I specialize in helping first responders—including law enforcement, fire, EMS, dispatch, corrections, and search and rescue—process the cumulative impact of operational stress and trauma using EMDR. My approach is practical, confidential, and built around the realities of first responder culture.
Every EMDR Intensive is personalized to your experiences and goals, helping you make meaningful progress in days instead of months. My goal is to help you sleep better, feel calmer, and reconnect with the people and life that matter most.

I use EMDR alongside education about trauma, the nervous system, and operational stress to help first responders understand what's happening in their brain and body—not just manage symptoms. Whether through an EMDR Intensive or limited weekly therapy, our work is practical, collaborative, and designed for lasting change.
