Who I Work With

I specialize in working with healthcare workers, caregivers of all kinds, and career-oriented women who are navigating anxiety, trauma, chronic stress or burnout, health- and caregiving-related challenges, and ADHD or executive functioning difficulties.

These groups often share common experiences:

  • High responsibility

  • Limited margin for error

  • Ongoing emotional labor, and

  • Pressure to function well even when internal resources are stretched thin.

If you identify as being part of any of these groups, this page offers an overview of how I work with you and links to more detailed resources for each group.

Common Themes Across These Groups

Across healthcare workers, caregivers, and career-oriented women, I often see similar patterns emerge:

  • Sustained responsibility for others’ well-being

  • Chronic stress with limited opportunities for recovery

  • Difficulty setting or maintaining boundaries without guilt

  • Anxiety driven by vigilance, pressure, or fear of letting others down

  • Burnout that develops gradually rather than from a single event

  • Executive functioning strain under high cognitive and emotional load

It is easy for our brain to see these struggles as personal failures, so therapy focuses on understanding these patterns in context as understandable responses to long-term demands, system pressures, and life circumstances.

Healthcare workers

Healthcare workers often operate in high-stakes environments with constant exposure to crisis, moral pressure, and constrained decision-making. Over time, this can contribute to anxiety, burnout, trauma responses, or a loss of trust in one’s body, judgment, or sense of meaning.

Therapy supports healthcare workers in addressing stress and trauma without minimizing the realities of healthcare systems or placing the burden solely on the individual.

Caregivers of all kinds

Caregiving comes in many forms. Whether caring for children, aging parents, ill partners, disabled family members, pets, or others, caregiving often carry sustained emotional and logistical responsibility while putting their own needs last. This can lead to chronic stress, grief, burnout, and a sense of invisibility or isolation.

Therapy focuses on supporting caregivers in processing loss, restoring agency, preventing burnout, and building sustainable ways to care without disappearing themselves.

Career-oriented women

Career-oriented women often navigate high expectations, internal pressure, and complex role demands across work, relationships, and family life. Anxiety, burnout, and executive functioning strain may develop even when things look “successful” from the outside.

Therapy helps clarify values, address perfectionism or over-responsibility, strengthen boundaries, and support sustainable performance without relying on constant self-criticism or overwork.

How I Work

My work integrates evidence-based therapies including Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Internal Family Systems (IFS), Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT), EMDR, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Prolonged Exposure (PE), and Family Systems approaches.

Depending on the person and the situation, therapy may involve structured trauma treatment, skills-based work, or a more integrative process that addresses long-term patterns, meaning, and relational context. The focus is always on increasing awareness, working with capacity, and fine-tuning skills that can be carried beyond therapy.

While I specialize in the populations above, not every situation or concern is the right fit. Part of the therapy process involves collaboratively determining whether my approach aligns with your needs and goals.
