Focused help when something needs to change.
Emotional Acuity provides two forms of specialized trauma support: EMDR Intensives for individuals who are ready to do focused work, and critical incident response for organizations helping a team through a difficult event.

Two ways I can help
EMDR Intensives for Individuals
You may understand what happened and still feel its effects in your body, relationships, work, or sense of safety. An EMDR intensive creates protected time to work on a defined concern with greater depth and continuity than a standard weekly session allows.
My signature intensive provides seven hours of focused treatment across two mornings in the same week: a four-hour session Tuesday and a three-hour session Thursday. The structure is deliberate, while the work remains individualized to your history, readiness, and treatment goals.
Critical Incident Response for Organizations
After a death, traumatic event, act of violence, accident, or other destabilizing incident, leaders are often expected to support their teams while managing the impact themselves.
I provide timely, trauma-informed support to help organizations assess immediate needs, support leadership, stabilize affected employees, and determine appropriate next steps.
Not every critical incident affects an entire team. Employer-sponsored individual support is also available when a single employee has been significantly impacted by a workplace event and would benefit from timely, confidential support.
My primary areas of focus are veterinary and healthcare teams, with services also available to other organizations navigating a critical incident.
Critical incident inquiries receive an initial response within 12 hours, often sooner. Timing and scope of services are determined during the initial consultation based on the needs of the organization and my availability.
Why Emotional Acuity
Trauma support should be calm, clinically sound, and responsive to the actual situation—not a generic script. I bring more than 20 years of clinical experience, EMDR training, specialized critical incident and group trauma training, and a direct understanding of high-stress professional environments.
Whether I am working with one person or advising an organizational leader, the goal is the same: reduce unnecessary distress, restore a sense of steadiness, and help people move forward without forcing a response that does not fit.
