Interested in the TL;DR?

I get it—if you’re running on caffeine and adrenaline, and only have about 30 seconds - no judgement - here’s the short version 😉

You Knew This Job Would Be Hard—But Not This Hard

You spend your days caring for others, solving problems, and making life-changing decisions—sometimes on the spot. You may feel like there’s never enough time, and even when you’re off the clock, your mind is still running through patient charts, what you missed, or what’s coming next. Maybe you wake up exhausted, no matter how much sleep you get. Maybe some of you just laughed at the idea of getting any sleep—bad habits from residency, night shifts, or the constant feeling that your brain has a never-ending patient list to review. You might find yourself feeling distant in your relationships or like you have to ignore your own emotions just to make it through your shift, only to find that shutting them off has become second nature—even outside of work. The idea of self-care sounds nice in theory, but in reality, it might feel like just another task you don’t have time or energy for.

And then there’s the guilt—because you should be able to handle this, right? After all, you’re the one people turn to when they need help. You might tell yourself that struggling is just part of the job, that everyone in this field feels overwhelmed at times, and that you just need to push through. Maybe you worry that admitting you’re struggling would somehow make you less competent, or that others—colleagues, patients, even friends or family—might see you differently. You might even compare yourself to coworkers who seem to be managing just fine and wonder, What’s wrong with me? Why can’t I handle this like they do? But the truth is, constantly carrying the weight of others' needs without tending to your own isn’t sustainable. Healthcare is demanding, and being skilled at caring for others doesn’t make you immune to stress, exhaustion, or self-doubt. If anything, it makes you more vulnerable—because you care so deeply. You don’t expect your patients to power through pain or a serious health issue without seeking professional support—don’t you deserve the same?

Paging Dr. You: It’s Time for Your Own Check-Up

Therapy with me isn’t about telling you to "just take deep breaths" or "set better boundaries." We’ll start with what’s weighing on you right now, and understanding how the demands of your career impact your mental and emotional health. In sessions, we’ll talk about what actually helps—whether it’s unpacking the stress that’s been building up for years, finding practical ways to recover from burnout, or helping you reconnect with the reasons you entered this field in the first place. But it’s not just about work. We’ll also explore how the demands of your profession may have made it harder to be present in other areas of your life—your relationships, your personal interests, even your ability to enjoy moments of rest without feeling like you should be doing something 'productive.' Maybe you’ve noticed that your patience runs thin at home, or that you’re so drained by the end of the day that there’s nothing left for the people you love. Or maybe you’ve put off your own needs—your health, your hobbies, your sense of self—because there’s always something more urgent demanding your attention. Therapy gives you space to figure out what balance actually looks like for you, without guilt or impossible expectations. It’s about making sure that while you’re taking care of everyone else, you’re not losing yourself in the process.

I know that asking for help can feel foreign or uncomfortable when you're so used to being the helper. But you don’t have to be in crisis to benefit from therapy - you wouldn’t tell a patient to wait until they’ve had a heart attack before seeing a doctor, right? Just like you use evidence-based care to prevent crises with your patients, we’ll use evidence-based therapy to support you. You deserve a space to feel heard, supported, and recharged. You don’t have to come in knowing exactly what to say or do—I’ll help you untangle what’s been weighing on you, one step at a time, and come up with a plan to help you achieve the balance you’ve been longing for. The therapy room is your space to be able to hang up your helper hat and have someone take care of you for a change.

What If You Weren’t Counting Down to Your Next Day Off?

Imagine feeling like yourself again—not just the provider or the professional, but you. What if you could step away from work without guilt? What if the exhaustion started to lift, and you had energy to enjoy your life outside of your job? Therapy doesn’t make the demands of healthcare go away, but it can help you develop a healthier way to navigate them. You may find that stress no longer lingers in your body the way it used to. You can sleep more soundly without replaying every decision from your shift or dreading your next shift. You might even have the energy to reconnect with hobbies, friendships, or simple joys that have taken a backseat for too long. Most importantly, you’ll have the tools to sustain a career in healthcare without sacrificing your well-being in the process.

You spend your days taking care of others—now it’s time to invest in yourself. You don’t have to wait until burnout takes over. You deserve to feel better now. Let’s create a plan that works for you—one that helps you show up for your life fully, not just survive it.
