Military & First Responders

A place to pause and reconnect

A difficult call can stay with you after you come home. For families, shift work, deployment, reunions, and leaving service can change the rhythm of everyday life. Partners may carry more at home, and children may need help making sense of changes in who’s there and what to expect.

I grew up in a military family, later became a military spouse, and have worked with first responders for many years. I think of the nest as a place to come back to. In our work together, that might mean making room for what each person has carried and finding small ways to reconnect at home.

Frequently asked questions

Can I reach out as a partner, caregiver, or family member?

Yes. If service is affecting your home life or you’re looking for support for yourself or a child, you’re welcome to ask about options. We can talk through what kind of support would fit.

Do I have to tell the whole story right away?

We can start with whatever you feel ready to share, whether that’s a difficult moment, something you notice in your body, or an image that helps you express it. We can consider art therapy, body-based approaches, or Brainspotting together, depending on what fits. Read about A Brave Space and how I work.

Where do I start if I want to use a workplace benefit or health insurance?

For workplace benefits, see Short-Term EAP Counseling. For health insurance, contact Eden Therapy Center to ask about your plan and appointment options for your location.
