Therapy for Law Enforcement Spouses and Partners in Minnesota


Support for the Women Behind the Badge—Because You Deserve Care Too

When You Love Someone in Law Enforcement, “Normal” Isn’t Always Part of the Job

Being married to or partnered with someone in law enforcement means living with uncertainty. The shifts are long. The calls are unpredictable. And the emotional toll? It's real—even if you’re not the one wearing the uniform.

You hold a lot. The worry. The silence. The scheduling chaos. The fear that sits in your stomach on nights when they’re late and not answering their phone. While you're holding it together for your partner, kids, and household—who's holding you?

If you’ve been feeling anxious, disconnected, overwhelmed, or just plain alone, this space is for you.

Specialized Counseling for Law Enforcement Wives & Partners

Being married to or partnered with a law enforcement officer comes with unique stress—stress most people don’t understand. Navigating this life takes grit, love, and emotional juggling.

You’re always balancing the needs of your family, your partner, and yourself, but your well-being often ends up last. You might be:

  • Feeling anxious every time they’re on shift

  • Struggling to connect with your partner

  • Silently managing stress to “keep the peace”

  • Isolated from friends who don’t get this lifestyle

  • Losing touch with your identity outside the relationship

You don’t have to keep it all in. You don’t have to figure it out alone. This is your space to breathe.

How We Will Work Together

As a Certified Clinical Trauma Professional, I understand how your partner’s job and the stress it brings home can quietly take a toll on your emotional health, your relationship, and your sense of self. That kind of weight needs more than surface-level support.

Whether you're feeling anxious, overwhelmed, or just tired of holding it all in, this is a space to be honest, feel supported, and start to breathe again.

I use evidence-based therapies like Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Accelerated Resolution Therapy (ART), combined with a compassionate, practical approach to meet you exactly where you are.

I’ll meet you with compassion, directness, and zero judgment—because healing doesn’t have to mean being soft. It just has to be real.

You Are Not Alone
