You’re the person people turn to. The one who holds space, carries the hard stories, and shows up even when you’re overwhelmed. You’re good at it (exceptional, actually); but lately it’s costing you. The emotional exhaustion, compassion fatigue, burnout, and trauma are no longer quiet. They’re affecting your relationships, your body, your mood, and the way you experience yourself. You don’t need to be told to “try self-care” or “set boundaries.” You’ve done that. You know the language. What you need is a space to actually feel what your nervous system has been holding, process, and come back to yourself without guilt.
I work with helping professionals, caregivers, and frontline workers who are navigating trauma exposure (direct or vicarious), burnout, and the emotional labor of being needed. My approach is direct and human; combining DBT skills, EMDR, person-centered therapy, and motivational interviewing to help you move from survival mode to something more sustainable.
If you’re tired of being the “strong one” in every room, therapy can be the place where you don’t have to perform or hold it all together. You’re allowed to be tired, allowed to need support, and you don't have to do it alone.
