As a law enforcement officer, Siedah has first-hand experience concerning the daily difficulties and pressures that first responders face.

Siedah’s goals are to work with individuals and aid first responders in self-care, healing their relationships, learning healthy coping skills, gaining the ability to resolve conflicts effectively, and communicating effectively with those around them. One of her biggest goals is to help first responders understand how to self-advocate for their needs on and off the job.
