Are you a serving or retired member of police, fire, CAF, EMS, corrections, parole, probation, CBSA, or other first responder?
As the protectors of society, serving with integrity, courage, and great responsibility, your minds and bodies are constantly working in overdrive, ever vigilant, looking to identify threats and stand in the way of danger to protect innocent lives. This has an impact on your views of self, views of others, and views of society as a whole.
Even sheepdogs need peace. Even sheepdogs need safe spaces to rest. Even sheepdogs need their pack.
I get it. I have seen it. I have felt it. I have lived it.
I served as a police officer with the RCMP for 20 years, with expertise in major crime investigations, child exploitation files, phased interviewing, gender-based violence matters, and trauma-informed practices.
Whether it be the bureaucratic stressors, media portrayals, personal lived experiences, or vicarious trauma that is making your load feel too heavy to carry, I am here to listen non-judgmentally, to walk alongside you as you process all you've had to hold, to help you repair relationships with yourself and with others, to build resiliency, and to support you in living a more fulfilling life.
