Therapy for Clinicians

You know exactly what burnout looks like in a patient. Recognizing it in yourself is harder.

Clinical training teaches you to identify distress, sit with suffering, and keep going regardless of what it costs you personally. That same training makes it uncomfortable to become the patient — to hand over control, admit you're struggling, or use clinical language to describe your own experience instead of someone else's.

I work with clinicians — physicians, nurses, therapists, and other healthcare providers — navigating burnout, compassion fatigue, and the particular exhaustion of a career built on caring for other people. This isn't about clinical diagnosis; it's a space where you don't have to manage the session, translate your experience into professional terms, or perform composure.

What this can look like:

•               Burnout that's affecting your clinical judgment, patience, or sense of purpose

•               Compassion fatigue that clinical language doesn't fully capture

•               The discomfort of being the patient after years of being the provider

•               Navigating moral distress, second-victim experiences, or the aftermath of a difficult outcome

I draw on psychodynamic therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), attachment-based work, and trauma-informed care — an integrative approach built to address both the immediate symptoms of burnout and the deeper patterns underneath them. This isn't a checklist of coping strategies; it's a space to understand not just what you're feeling, but where it comes from and how it's shaped by years of being the one who holds it together for others.

Sessions are confidential and virtual, and nothing about your care is shared with your employer, licensing board, or colleagues without your written permission.
