Therapist Overview
Often we tell ourselves, “I should be able to handle this.” This idea has served us in the past as we have built our careers, but sometimes our self-reliance becomes a burden as we find ourselves suffering in isolation, afraid to ask for help once we need it. We may find we are using avoidant coping mechanisms excessively. We want to feel good about work again, we want our relationships to bring us joy again. Yet we also may have stopped hoping things could get better, except on occasion when things may seem too much to bear and we privately dare to hope. I specialize in working with adults struggling with career stress, and especially front-line healthcare professionals. I have been a registered nurse for 10 years, and my experience underscores my interest in burnout, compassion fatigue, vicarious trauma, and moral injury. You are not alone, and I am prepared walk this path with you. My approach to counseling is that of a helpful passenger, accompanying you as you navigate the major challenges of your life and career. I encourage my clients to look differently at the challenges they are facing, to accept themselves wholly, to be guided by their personal values, and to work like hell to achieve their dreams.
