You Hold Other People’s Pain, You Carry Stories No One Else Hears, and You Sit With Emotions Most People Avoid

Lack of Support

And you do it quietly. Often without recognition, support, or space to be fully human yourself.

Pressure & Expectations

The experience of being a therapist is unlike any other role. You are expected to cope well, stay composed, stay grounded, stay regulated, and keep showing up.

Permission to be Human

But you’re still a person. Here, you don’t have to translate your experience, justify your reactions, or feel like you’re being “evaluated.” You get to come in exactly as you are, without explaining the weight you carry.

The Unique Demands of Being a Therapist

You might be reaching out because you’re tired in a way that’s hard to put into words. Here, you’ll be met with understanding.

❋ Emotionally drained or overstretched

❋ Pressure to “know better” or “do better”

❋ Overwhelmed by holding so much for others

❋ A quiet loneliness in your role

❋ Unsure who you are outside the therapy room

❋ Disconnected from your own needs or intuition

❋ Guilty for struggling at all

❋ Like you can’t fall apart anywhere

You Might Feel

You Don’t Have To Carry That Alone. This Is Where You Get To Put The Weight Down

What Therapy for Therapists Feels Like With Me

Therapy isn’t a performance. You don’t have to be insightful, regulated, composed, or articulate.

This is a space where you’re not the helper. You’re the human being in the room.

❋ Be honest without worrying how it sounds

❋ Explore patterns without judgement

❋ Talk about the parts of the work that feel heavy, confusing, or isolating

❋ Reconnect with who you are beyond the therapist role

What We Work On Together

  • Burnout That Goes Deeper Than Exhaustion

    The kind that impacts identity, relationships, and the ability to feel present.

  • Boundaries That Feel Hard To Maintain

    Wanting to care without over-carrying.

  • The Pressure To Be The “Strong One”

    Even when you’re struggling yourself.

  • Imposter Feelings

    Even if you’re competent, trained, and experienced.

  • The Emotional Residue Of The Work

    Holding stories that stay with you longer than you want.

  • Personal Challenges While Caring For Others

    You might be holding difficult personal challenges while still showing up for your clients. That is a difficult dynamic to hold.

  • Navigating Your Own Relationships

    When you spend all day in therapeutic ones.

  • Space For You

    Therapy here gives you room to breathe, regroup, and reconnect with yourself.

 The Biggest Shift?

You Stop Feeling Like You Have To Hold Everything Alone

A Space Where You Don’t Have to Explain Yourself

I understand the language of the work. I understand what it means to sit with people’s pain and the weight of being the one others rely on. You don’t have to explain what it’s like. You just get to rest here.

The Process

  • 1. Consultation

    A short 20-minute call to see if we’re a good fit. You can share what you’re looking for, ask questions, and get a sense of what it’s like to talk with me.

  • 2. 90-Minute Intake

    During our first session we have a longer amount of time together to build a foundation and trust before diving deeper into our work together. We will explore what you’re carrying, what feels heavy, and what you want from therapy. You’ll also have a chance to learn more about my style and approach to therapy.

  • 3. Weekly or Biweekly Sessions

    Ongoing sessions that are focused on helping you feel more grounded, clear, and connected to yourself. You get to show up as a human, not “the therapist in the room.”

  • 4. Feel More Grounded, Supported, and Confident

    As we work together, therapists often feel less overwhelmed, more confident, and more at home in themselves without having to hold everything alone.
