Whether you’re struggling with anxiety, depression, vicarious trauma, or career burnout, you deserve a safe space where you can focus on yourself and your needs. Whatever struggles you bring — health, relationships, clinical challenges, family history — therapy provides a safe space where you can be genuine and vulnerable and receive the care you so greatly deserve.

While skilled at helping others, therapists may be reluctant to seek their own support, believing instead that they should somehow be able to heal themselves. While therapists can do a lot to nurture their own wellness, engaging in the process of therapy can bring tremendous insight and growth. I understand the challenges of this role shift for healers, accustomed to being the ones giving the care instead of receiving it, and am experienced in facilitating a respectful and safe container for the work.

Therapists and other healers may enter the profession in part motivated by the unresolved issues of their own childhoods, issues that may be triggered or even exacerbated in their work. Therapy encourages the cultivation of deeper self-compassion and encourages counselors to access their innate healing qualities on their own behalf.

Therapists often appreciate the compassionate approach of Internal Family Systems therapy (IFS). IFS invites inner reflection and curiosity, and many therapists find it a natural fit. As you get to know, connect with, and offer support to your own internal family system, you often experience greater ease and flow in your clinical work as well. Many therapists also benefit from doing EMDR Therapy to process unresolved traumatic experiences and/or to address negative core beliefs impacting their current happiness.
