Therapy for healthcare professionals—for those who are tired of performing “fine” and want a place to be fully human again.
Healthcare Professionals—On paper, you might look strong, capable, and “good in a crisis.” Inside, you might feel exhausted, resentful, numb, lonely, or quietly terrified of dropping a single ball.
These pressures can feel isolating, but you don’t have to navigate them alone. This page is for those who know the guidelines, the protocols, the unspoken rules. For those who know how to keep functioning long past the point your body and relationships are asking you to stop. For medical and mental health professionals—physicians, residents, nurses, therapists, social worker, and other clinicians, or caregivers who are dealing with:
Burnout, compassion fatigue, and moral injury
Grief and complicated feelings about patient outcomes
Imposter syndrome and perfectionism
Identity shifts around career changes, retirement, or “I can’t do this forever”
Ethical concerns—navigating complex ethical dilemmas that are keeping you up at night.
The impact of all of this on partners, kids, friendships, and your sense of self
What you might be carrying—as a caregiver.
Caregiving can be an act of love, and it can also be brutal on your nervous system and sense of self. Research consistently shows that caregivers are at increased risk for depression, anxiety, physical health problems, and deep emotional exhaustion when support is limited.
You might notice:
Feeling responsible for everything and everyone, all the time
Guilt when you’re not “on” or when you think about stepping back
Resentment and grief that you don’t feel allowed to name
Health problems, sleep issues, and stress symptoms you keep minimizing
The sense that your whole identity has become “the one who takes care of everyone”
In therapy, we make room for your experience—not just the person you’re caring for. We look at the real constraints you’re under, the story you’ve been told about what a “good caregiver” should be, and what support might look like in your specific situation.
How therapy with me works in this lane
The atmosphere— Think of this as a light‑filled living room for clinicians’ nervous systems: calm, candid, and completely off the record. You don’t have to translate the realities of call, staffing ratios, EHR messages, or institutional politics into something softer or more palatable—you can say exactly how it feels.
In this lane, we’re working at the intersection of you, your history and identities, and the systems you practice in (medicine, mental health, academia, administration). We’ll talk about moral distress and moral injury, burnout that goes beyond “I’m tired,” the grief and trauma that come with this work, and the quiet question of whether and how you can keep doing it.
Together, we might:
Map the pressures acting on you—patients, staff, leadership, charting, culture—and name what’s actually burning you out.
Make space for the anger, grief, guilt, and numbness you’ve had to shove down to keep functioning.
Look at how your identities shape your experience of training, hierarchy, and safety in your workplace.
Experiment with boundaries, communication, and micro‑changes that are realistic inside your role and institution.
Explore bigger questions about staying, leaving, changing roles, or renegotiating what you’re willing to sacrifice.
I’m not here to tell you to love a system that’s harming you. I’m here to help you see the system clearly, understand your nervous system and values inside it, and make decisions that are as aligned and livable as possible—for you and for the people you care for.
