Nathania is a Registered Social Worker with a Master of Clinical Social Work and a strong background supporting first responders and their families. As the spouse of a first responder, she has a deep understanding of the culture, demands, and realities of emergency service work — both on the job and at home. Nathania provides confidential mental health check-ins for Edmonton Fire Rescue Services members, offering a supportive and straightforward space to talk through operational stress, cumulative exposure, critical incidents, and the impact work can have on relationships, sleep, mood, and overall well-being. Her approach is practical, grounded, and non-judgmental. Sessions are focused on helping members make sense of what they’re experiencing, build effective coping strategies, and identify next steps when additional support may be helpful. There is no pressure to “have it all figured out” — check-ins are designed to meet you where you’re at. Nathania draws from a range of evidence-based approaches including EMDR, ART, and cognitive therapies when appropriate. Outside of work, Nathania spends most of her time outdoors or at the rink with her two children and partner.
