Therapy for Therapists

banner image

Supporting the healers who hold everyone else.

You sit with grief, trauma, conflict, and vulnerability every day. You regulate nervous systems. You hold space for hard stories. You help people rebuild their lives.

And then you go home, to your partner, your children, your business, your responsibilities, carrying everything you’ve absorbed.

Therapists are trained to care for others.

But far too often, we struggle to care for ourselves.

If you’re a therapist feeling emotionally tired, burned out, disconnected, or quietly overwhelmed, you’re not alone.

This work is meaningful and it is heavy.

A Practice That Accidentally Became a Niche

Over the years, more and more therapists began finding their way into my practice.

Not because I initially set out to specialize in therapists but because clinicians recognized depth, safety, and shared language.

Therapists came for support with:

  • burnout and compassion fatigue
  • secondary trauma
  • attachment wounds
  • relationship struggles
  • parenthood and career strain
  • imposter syndrome
  • leadership pressure
  • private practice stress
  • identity shifts
  • feeling emotionally “full” all the time

What started organically became intentional.

Today, walking alongside other therapists is one of the most meaningful parts of my work.

Why Therapists Are Drawn to My Practice

Therapists often seek me out because of both my lived experience in the field and my advanced clinical training, including:

  • Certification and Approved Consultant status through EMDR International Association (EMDRIA)
  • Certification and Supervisor-in-Training through International Centre for Excellence in Emotionally Focused Therapy (ICEEFT)
  • Completion of Level 1 and Level 2 Internal Family Systems training through IFS Institute
  • Completion of Level 1 and Level 2 Sensorimotor Psychotherapy training through Sensorimotor Psychotherapy Institute
  • Over 14 years of direct clinical experience

Therapists tell me they come wanting a therapist who:

  • understands attachment and nervous system science
  • can hold trauma with steadiness and depth
  • works experientially not just cognitively
  • speaks clinical language without staying in the head
  • sees both the clinician and the human

My approach integrates EMDR, EFT, IFS, Sensorimotor Psychotherapy, and attachment-based care so we can work on multiple levels at once:

your personal history your relational patterns your nervous system your professional identity your current stressors

You don’t have to explain the basics. You don’t have to translate your experience. You can show up fully  as both therapist and person.

The Unique Weight Therapists Carry

Therapists often come to therapy saying:

“I feel emotionally drained all the time.” 

“I can do this for everyone else but don’t feel like I can do it for myself.” 

“I’m exhausted in ways I can’t name.” 

“I’m great at helping clients but struggling in my own life.” 

“I feel disconnected from my partner.”

 “I love this work, but I’m burned out.”

You may be navigating:

  • being a therapist and a parent
  • being a therapist and a partner
  • being a therapist and a business owner
  • being a therapist and the breadwinner
  • being a therapist and the emotional anchor in your family

You hold many roles.

And often, you do it quietly.

Therapy for Therapists Is Different

Working with therapists requires nuance.

You already have insight. You already understand attachment. You already know the language of trauma.

What you often need is:

  • a place to work through your own "stuff"
  • permission to not be “on”
  • space to feel without analyzing
  • support with your own attachment system
  • help regulating accumulated stress
  • room to grieve, rest, and reconnect

Therapy becomes a place where you are held, supported, and given space to heal, so you can feel as cared for as the clients you care for.

My Passion for Walking Alongside Other Therapists

I deeply believe that when therapists receive good care, the ripple effect is enormous.

When you feel grounded:

  • your clients benefit 
  • your relationships soften 
  • your parenting becomes more present 
  • your leadership strengthens 
  • your creativity returns

I understand the weight this career carries.

Being a therapist often also means being:

  • a partner 
  • a parent 
  • a business owner 
  • a breadwinner 
  • a teacher 
  • an emotional anchor

Holding all of that, while holding clients, is a lot.

I am passionate about helping therapists not only be excellent clinicians, but also feel more connected in their own lives.

My goal is to support you in becoming:

a more present partner a more available parent a more grounded clinician a more embodied human a more fulfilled version of yourself

You don’t have to sacrifice yourself to help others heal.

What We Work On Together

  • reconnecting with joy and meaning

Our work is collaborative, relational, and deeply compassionate.
