FOR THE PEOPLE WHO TAKE CARE OF EVERYONE ELSE
How do you give more when you’re already running on empty?
You’re used to holding it together in high-stakes, high-pressure situations — but it comes at a cost. In this space, you don’t have to explain the system, the burnout or the weight you carry.
The Internal Pressure to Hold It All Together
You’re used to being the one who holds it together. The calm in the storm.
You manage high-stakes situations, make quick decisions, and show up for people on some of the hardest days of their lives. You’ve learned how to compartmentalize, push through, and keep going—because that’s what the job requires.
But over time, that starts to catch up with you.
You might notice:
You feel emotionally flat or disconnected outside of work
You’re more irritable, on edge, or quick to shut down
It’s hard to transition out of “work mode,” even when you’re home
You carry things you’ve seen or experienced, but don’t really have a place to put them
You’re exhausted—but slowing down doesn’t feel like an option
There’s often this unspoken expectation that you should be able to handle it.
And for the most part—you do.
But that doesn’t mean it’s not impacting you.
How I Can Help You
With healthcare professionals, the work often starts with slowing things down.
You’re used to functioning in high-pressure environments where there isn’t always space to process what you’re experiencing in real time. Over time, that can lead to disconnection—from your emotions, your body, and even parts of your life outside of work.
In our work together, we focus on:
Creating space to process what you’ve been carrying (without it feeling overwhelming)
Reconnecting with your internal experience after long periods of pushing it aside
Understanding how chronic stress and exposure are impacting you
Learning how to transition out of “work mode” and be more present in your personal life
Building sustainable ways to cope that don’t rely on shutting things down
This isn’t about making you less capable at your job.
It’s about helping you feel more like yourself again—both at work and outside of it.
A Therapist Who Understands Your World
Healthcare has its own culture and is difficult to explain it to people who haven’t lived inside it.
I’ve spent over a decade working as a social worker in a variety of healthcare settings —hospitals, emergency departments, hospice settings, and clinics. To this day I still work as an ED social worker alongside my private practice, so you won’t have to spend time translating the pace, the pressure or why certain moments stay with you. I understand the weight of the decisions you have to make, and how easily emotional strain gets pushed aside in order to take care of your patients.
My goal is to provide you a space that is steady, thoughtful and grounded in the realities of your world. A place where you can set down some of what you’ve been carrying and begin to make sense of it with a therapist who actually gets it.
