Helping Professionals

Where compassion meets restoration: Therapy for helpers who give everything and need a place to breathe again.

When your job is to care for others, it can be hard to admit how much it’s costing you. You show up, you hold space, you fix, you listen, and sometimes you forget what it feels like to rest. Therapy for helping professionals offers a space to put your own needs at the center, even for a short time.

I work with people in high-empathy, high-demand professions:

Therapists and mental health providers
Nurses, physicians, and medical staff
Teachers and educators
First responders
Caregivers and nonprofit workers

You don’t need to explain the emotional exhaustion or why “self-care” can start to feel like another obligation. I understand the weight of compassion fatigue, vicarious trauma, and moral distress because I’ve lived within the helping world myself.

Therapy offers room to slow down, reconnect with meaning, and recover from chronic empathy burnout. Together, we’ll work on recognizing early signs of overwhelm, setting boundaries that stick, and redefining success in ways that include your own humanity.

You’re allowed to be both the helper and the one who needs help.

Couples

When both partners give so much of themselves at work, it’s easy for home to become another place that feels depleted instead of restorative. I work with couples in helping professions who are navigating compassion fatigue, emotional disconnection, and the unique strain of supporting others while trying to stay connected to each other.

Using the Gottman Method, we’ll look at how stress, empathy burnout, shift work, and emotional load affect your relationship. Therapy provides a space to rebuild communication, restore emotional intimacy, and rediscover what it means to truly feel like a team , even when life demands so much of you both.

You spend your days caring for others. Let this be the place where someone cares for you.
