Understanding the Unique Needs of First Responders

What sets me apart is my firsthand experience as a former first responder, giving me a deep understanding of the physical and emotional toll that frontline careers can take on individuals and their families. This insight shapes my approach, allowing me to address mental health challenges like trauma, grief, and anxiety while fully recognizing the demanding culture and lifestyle you navigate each day.

I also specialize in career development and coaching, particularly for professionals in high-pressure fields who are looking to advance or transition. With certification in Emotional Intelligence (EQ-i 2.0), I provide guidance to help you build resilience, improve emotional regulation, and strengthen leadership skills. My combination of advanced training and real-world experience makes Blue Wave Counseling a trusted choice for those seeking meaningful personal and professional growth.
