As a nationally recognized expert in a wide range of topics related to the behavioral health, wellness, and resilience of public safety and EMS personnel, Anne is currently working with several first responder organizations around the country.  ​She is an approved instructor for the International Critical Incident Stress Foundation (www.ICISF.org) in six courses; serves on the national training cadre for the U.S. Forest Service's 5-day "You Will Not Stand Alone" line-of-duty death and significant injury course as well as the 1.5-day "Hospital and Family Liaison" course; has been a featured guest instructor at the UCLA Center for Prehospital care beginning in 2006; and regularly presents at conferences, workshops, and trainings around the country each year.  Anne also became an EMT in 2008 to better understand the experiences and work of those on the front lines..

Anne maintains a private practice serving public safety personnel and their loved ones in both Oregon and California, and spends as much time outdoors as possible on Chiron's 300-acre Ranch in Southern Oregon, with the horses in Chiron’s Still Standing equine programs, or exploring the gorgeous Pacific Northwest with her constant K9 companion, Harley.
