A partnership built around your people

Every department has its own culture, pressures, and ways of asking for help. We begin by understanding yours, then shape a practical plan for bringing support into the life of your team.

01 · Understand your department

We talk about your personnel, shift schedules, existing resources, and the concerns you are seeing. Together, we identify where support could be most useful—from everyday stress and communication to cumulative exposure and the impact of the job at home.

02 · Make the plan clear

We define the services, visit schedule, points of contact, and referral pathways in a written scope. We also discuss confidentiality, its limits, and what information may be shared with leadership, so everyone understands the clinician’s role before the work begins.

03 · Build trust by showing up

Depending on the agreed scope, support may include station visits, briefings, ride-alongs, training, and check-ins. Consistent presence gives personnel opportunities to get to know Jill and ask questions. Informal conversations and ride-alongs are distinct from therapy, which follows a separate clinical process.

04 · Keep the support relevant

We plan how to review the partnership as your department’s needs change. That conversation can address scheduling, training priorities, access to resources, and coordination after difficult events. Critical incident availability and follow-up are defined in advance as part of the agreed scope.

Experience grounded in public safety

Jill brings experience inside public safety, clinical trauma training, and ongoing work alongside agencies. That combination shapes how she listens, builds relationships, and understands the pressures personnel carry both on and off duty.

A lifelong connection to public safety

Jill grew up in a family surrounded by wonderful people who worked in public safety. That connection continued through 30 years with the San Francisco Firefighters Toy Program, working alongside firefighters each holiday season. She has also volunteered as an Honor Flight escort.

These relationships and experiences shaped her appreciation for the people who serve, the families beside them, and the importance of caring for both.

A clinical foundation in trauma

Jill is a California Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist, license #134837. Her training includes EMDR, Cognitive Processing Therapy, Prolonged Exposure, and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy. She serves as Clinical Director of the San Mateo County CISM Team.

Support beyond the uniform

A First Responder Support Network volunteer since 2018, Jill has worked with first responders and their spouses. Her perspective includes the effects of public safety work on relationships, family life, and the transition from the job to home.

Experience alongside agencies
Jill’s embedded work has included Novato Police, Novato Fire, Tiburon Fire, and California Highway Patrol offices. She has also provided therapy to personnel from the San Francisco Police Department, San Francisco Sheriff’s Office, and San Francisco Fire Department.
