Fire, police, EMS, dispatch, emergency departments, trauma units — the region asks a lot of the people who respond first and sleep last. You may be able to function on the call. The harder part is what happens after. The 4am wake. The scene that replays when the house is finally still. The partner who stopped asking because every answer sounded like a wall. The part of you that can manage a crisis but snaps over a minor inconvenience at home. These are not signs that you are weak. They are signs that your nervous system has been doing its job without a real place to stand down. What this looks like ## What this _looks like._ Clocking exits, bodies, and tone before you notice you are doing it. Rotating between numbness and irritability, with very little middle ground. Dreams, intrusive images, or body jolts tied to one call or a decade of them. Feeling more comfortable at work than at the dinner table. Worrying that asking for help could somehow become visible professionally. Confidentiality matters here. Not as a marketing word, but as the condition that makes the work possible. ## How I work I have worked in a military-base outpatient clinic and in a residential rehab serving first responders. That background helps me meet the culture directly — the schedule, the humor, the reluctance to sound dramatic, the fear of being misunderstood by someone who has never heard the material. We work with nervous-system downshifting, sleep, anger, avoidance, relationship distance, and trauma processing when appropriate. I am trained in EMDR and may use it for the memories that will not stay in the past, but only after we establish enough grounding for the work to be contained. Honest geography There is no Murrieta office. Murrieta clients are seen in person at the Temecula office, a short drive south, or by secure telehealth across California. ## Common questions Could I run into you locally? The practice office is in Temecula, not Murrieta. Telehealth is also available, which many clients choose for privacy and scheduling. Do you understand shift work? Yes. I work with the realities of 24s, nights, rotating schedules, court dates, mandatory overtime, and the way sleep gets disrupted even on off days. In person or online? Both. Murrieta first responders can come to the Temecula office or use secure telehealth across California when the schedule makes driving unrealistic.
