Therapy for First Responders in Pennsylvania

Therapy is a waste of time; it doesn't actually help anyone.

Talking about problems doesn't solve them; it just brings up more issues.

In our line of work, you have to be tough, not sit around talking about feelings.

Sound familiar?

So, how’s that working out for you?

Probably not great, right?

You’ve seen what most people never will.

You’ve heard the screams, knocked on the doors, run toward the chaos.
You’ve compartmentalized it all just to make it through the shift.

But lately, that switch doesn’t flip off like it used to.

You’re not sleeping. You snap at the people you love.
You feel numb, pissed, or like you’re about to blow — sometimes all in the same hour.
And you can’t just “take a break” from this life.

Let me be clear:
That doesn’t make you weak. It means you’re human.

This Job Changes You

You can’t unsee the things you’ve seen.
But that doesn’t mean you have to stay stuck there.

I work with:
✔ Police Officers
✔ Firefighters
✔ EMTs
✔ Dispatchers
✔ Corrections + Probation
✔ Spouses and partners of first responders

EMDR for First Responders

You don’t need months of talk therapy.
You need something that works — fast, effective, and built for your nervous system.

I use EMDR therapy to help your brain process the stuff it’s been looping through on repeat — even if you’re not talking about it out loud.

I also offer the EMDR Recent Event Protocol, which is specifically built for:

  • Critical incidents

  • Use of force

  • On-scene trauma

  • Death notifications

  • Line-of-duty injuries or losses

This isn’t just about trauma. It’s about survival mode becoming your default.
Let’s change that.

Let's cut the crap

Why Work With Me?

  • I’m a trauma therapist who actually understands the job.

  • I offer real strategies, not just “coping skills”.

  • I’ve been in the car with my spouse after a shift — I know what this life looks like.

  • I use EMDR, nervous system work, and blunt honesty.

  • No fluff. No judgment. Just results.

There is no growth in the comfort zone.
