Therapy for Therapists & Healers

You can love your work and still need rest. Compassion shouldn’t cost you yourself.

You hold space for everyone else, but who holds space for you?

You know the theory. You know the models. You know what burnout is. And still, here you are — overwhelmed, questioning your path, exhausted by the constant caretaking. Maybe you’re quietly fantasizing about leaving the field. Maybe you feel like you’ve lost the spark, or worse, lost yourself inside the roles of therapist, advocate, supervisor, educator, healer. It’s a lonely place to be, especially when you’re the one others turn to for answers.

The most frequent concerns I help therapists work through include:

  • Burnout and Compassion Fatigue

  • Imposter Syndrome

  • Secondary Trauma/Vicarious Trauma

  • Boundary Issues

  • Professional Loneliness/Isolation

  • Personal Crisis Impacting Clinical Work

  • Managing Countertransference

  • Work-Life Balance

  • Career Dissatisfaction/Transition

  • Perfectionism and Self-Criticism

  • Supervision and Mentorship Strain

  • Cultural and Identity Strain

  • Racial Battle Fatigue

  • Tokenism and Representation Pressure

  • Cultural Taxation

  • Imposter Syndrome with Racial Undertones

  • Navigating Racial Trauma While Being a Healer

  • Managing Activism and Professionalism

  • Code-Switching and Professional Identity

  • Collegial Microaggressions

What to Expect

I offer therapy for therapists and healers — especially therapists of color — who are navigating burnout, boundary fatigue, provider care strain, professional identity shifts, or that murky grief that comes when you’ve outgrown a role that once felt like a calling. You won’t get psychoeducation unless you ask for it. You’ll get space to tell the truth.

This where you get to lay it all down. The parts of the work that feel sacred. The parts that feel soul-numbing. The parts of you that are ready to be heard, held, and healed… not just for your clients, but for your own liberation and exhale.

In our work together, I prioritize giving you permission to be real, with no pressure to filter your feelings, mask your truth, or be your own therapist. We’ll explore the emotional toll of your work, the challenges of balancing personal and professional identities, and the nuanced fatigue that comes from being both healer and human. I offer a space where we can make sense of your own experiences without judgment, unpacking the complexity of feeling both competent and exhausted.

My approach blends structured, evidence-based techniques with a relational, supportive presence. Whether you’re wrestling with compassion fatigue, questioning your path, or struggling to reconnect with your own sense of purpose, I’m here to walk alongside you. We’ll build practical coping strategies, strengthen your sense of self, and foster sustainable ways to care for both your clients and yourself. Through humor, honesty, and a steady, grounded presence, we’ll create a space where you can breathe, reflect, and find your way back to feeling whole.

Therapy for therapists acknowledges that tension – it’s a place where you don’t have to be the expert, where you’re not just another case to manage but a whole, complex person deserving of care and compassion. It’s about putting down the clinical hat and daring to be human – messy, real, and unapologetically in need of healing.

Become a Thriving Healer

Therapists often struggle to find a space where they can be human, where they can let down the professional armor and just be real about their own challenges. My approach to therapy for therapists centers on creating a space that is both restorative and affirming.

You deserve a place to process compassion fatigue, burnout, professional fatigue, and the complexities of holding space for others without judgment or expectation.

Working with me means you’ll have the freedom to explore your own vulnerabilities, recalibrate your professional boundaries, and reconnect with your passion for the work. You’ll leave sessions feeling more balanced, more self-compassionate, and better equipped to navigate both your personal and professional lives with integrity and renewed purpose.
