Therapy and Support for Those Who Serve
Therapy for LEO and First Responders in California
In-Person Sessions in Chico, CA | Online Therapy Across California
Being a first responder means constantly running toward danger while others run away. The weight of responsibility is immense—every call could mean life or death, and there’s never enough time to process what you see.
The stress builds, but you push through because that’s what the job demands.
Over time, the pressure doesn’t just stay at work—it seeps into your home life, your relationships, and your sense of self.
You’re tired of feeling caught in this cycle:
Experiencing chronic stress or burnout
Struggling with sleep, relationships, or emotional regulation
Feeling like no one outside the job truly understands
The Unspoken Toll of the Job

Therapy Designed for First Responders
Therapy for first responders isn’t just about coping—it’s about building resilience so you can continue showing up for your job and yourself. The stress and trauma that come with the work don’t have to define you.
Together, we’ll work through the impact of what you’ve seen and experienced in a way that makes sense for your life.
You’ll gain practical tools to manage stress before it turns into burnout, process trauma in a way that doesn’t feel overwhelming, and develop strategies to keep your personal life strong even when work is demanding.
This isn’t about changing who you are—it’s about helping you stay strong without feeling like you have to carry everything alone.
My approach to therapy respects the culture and realities of your work. I provide:
Tools to manage stress and process trauma
Support in navigating work-life balance
