As an emergency responder, trauma is your life. You see horror after horror. Hypervigilance and "sucking it up" are your superpowers. You're proud of it. You came into law enforcement, fire, or the medical field feeling indestructible, but now life feels torn at the seams. You experience fitful nights of sleep, your emotions are all over the place, and you lack motivation. On top of that, friendships are not what they used to be, family is annoying, and your marriage seems to be falling apart. Lately, it’s been difficult to focus at work as a sense of fear has crept in. Everything important has lost meaning and you feel alone.
The trauma you experienced is valid and deserves the same care that you give to the people you save. Through EMDR and Brainspotting, I help you work through memories that cause painful triggers. These methods touch the deepest part of the brain where trauma is held, healing emotions and the body so that painful memories lose their power over you.
Experience restful nights of sleep. Find personal peace. Build strong relationships with your friends and loved ones. Find courage and strength again through healing and growth. Call today for a free 15-minute consultation and take back your power and motivation!
