In a culture that rewards being strong, tough, and keeping your emotions to yourself, I am here to listen and help you achieve a healthy work-life balance.

First responders experience repeated exposure to adverse details of traumatic events. This may lead to vicarious traumatization and/or secondary trauma. Overwork often leads to:

  • burn out or compassion fatigue

  • absenteeism

  • increased carelessness or mistakes

  • substance abuse or other risky behaviors to manage overwhelming feelings

  • trouble at home

  • taking on extra shifts to avoid what is happening in the present.

I Am Here To Support YOU

For fire fighters, law enforcement, emergency medical technicians, and all first responders, I offer trauma-focused private yoga, yoga therapy and talk therapy. If you’re in need of support, drop me a line and let’s chat about how I can help.
