Embedded psychologist at Bend Fire & Rescue and operate a Private Practice

| FSPA Affiliation |
For the last 10 years I have worked as an embedded psychologist with Bend Fire & Rescue in Oregon. This contract has me in the stations weekly riding along for calls and crew trainings. My regular presence helps build trust to facilitate individual support, defusing/debriefing, referrals to therapy and trainings. In my private practice I offer therapy to first responders and medical professionals. There are many first responder mental health organizations; FSPA is the first I have found to offer connection, training and facilitate consultation opportunities. I am excited to learn more about how others are engaged and develop improved methods to improve wellness in my agency and others.
