First Responder Trauma Therapy
Support for the demands of service—and life beyond the job.
I help first responders, veterans, public safety professionals, couples, and families work through trauma, cumulative stress, grief, and challenges at home. My practice also welcomes emergency personnel, pilots, and railroad professionals.
Meet with me in Novato or through telehealth in California. You don’t need to wait for a crisis to ask for support.
Nicole, my assistant, coordinates scheduling, availability, and session-fee questions.
First Responder Trauma Therapy
Trauma informed therapy for PTSD, cumulative stress, difficult calls, grief, anxiety, burnout, moral injury, and career transitions. Treatment may include EMDR and other evidence informed approaches, guided by your needs and goals.
Couples and Family Support
Support for communication, connection, relationship strain, family stress, and the impact of public safety work on life at home. Sessions are tailored for couples and families navigating the demands of service.
Support After a Critical Incident
After a difficult call or critical incident, you may notice changes in sleep, mood, concentration, or relationships. Individual therapy offers space to understand what you are experiencing and choose practical next steps at your own pace.
For team support, peer consultation, or department response planning, explore For Departments or contact Jill.
Teletherapy
Therapy is available by telehealth for clients located in California. Online sessions can make it easier to access support around demanding schedules and travel to the office.
Jill will discuss whether telehealth is a good fit for your needs and how to prepare a private space for sessions.
