Spouses Support
Individual Therapy
First responder spouses have a lot to juggle. You spend a lot of time alone, including nights alone, where you have to be EVERYTHING: the decision maker, the disciplinarian, the problem solver, the protector etc. You have your own worries about the dangers of the job itself and what those dangers might mean for your family. You see how committed to their work they are and do your best to hold it all together. It can be isolating since individuals beyond first responder families might not completely relate. Your spouse deals with some of the most terrifying things human nature has to offer and you might take on some of those worries. Making time to take care of yourself and talk about your experience with someone that gets it can help! If you're experiencing any of the following I can help.
-
I feel more worried and anxious lately
-
I'm feeling down and a little detached
-
I'm having a hard time focusing
-
I'm having a hard time adjusting
-
I've been feeling lost lately
First Responder Spouses Group
If individual therapy doesn’t feel like the right fit for you right now, consider joining one of my virtual First Responder Spouses Groups. These sessions offer a supportive and understanding space where you can connect with others who are navigating similar challenges in their relationships and family life.
In this group, you’ll have the opportunity to:
-
Connect with other spouses who truly understand the unique stressors and unpredictability of first responder life.
-
Share your experiences in a safe, judgment-free space where you can openly express your concerns, frustrations, and wins.
-
Learn practical strategies to better manage your own stress and emotional well-being, all while finding ways to support your partner.
I’ve had the privilege of watching spouses build strong, meaningful connections within these groups—learning from each other, sharing advice, and forming a community of support. If you’re looking for a place where you can both vent and grow alongside others who understand your world, this group could be the perfect fit.
