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 includes preparation, two focused three-hour EMDR sessions, and a follow-up appointment. The structure is deliberate, but the work is individualized to your history, readiness, and clinical needs.
Critical Incident Response for Organizations
After a death, traumatic event, violence, accident, or other destabilizing incident, leaders are expected to make good decisions while carrying the impact themselves. I help organizations assess what is needed, support leadership, and provide timely, trauma-informed stabilization for the people affected.
My primary areas of focus are veterinary and healthcare teams, with services also available to other organizations facing a critical incident.
Critical incident inquiries receive an initial response within 12 hours—often sooner. I make every effort to provide support as quickly as the situation requires and my availability allows. Service timing and the engagement are confirmed after the initial consultation.
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.
