Therapy for Therapists & Helping Professionals

The first few years of being a therapist can feel like learning to swim by being dropped into the deep end—with a stack of paperwork in one hand and imposter syndrome in the other.​

​You might be holding a lot right now: figuring out your clinical voice, managing supervision dynamics, working toward licensure, navigating agency systems, building confidence, and wondering whether you’re “doing therapy right.” Add in student loans, emotional exhaustion, and trying to maintain a personal life, and it can feel like a lot to carry.

​

Early-career therapists often tell me things like: “I know the theory, but I still feel like I’m winging it,” “I worry I’m not helping my clients enough,” “I’m exhausted but feel guilty for being exhausted," “I don’t know how to leave work at work,” “I thought I’d feel more confident by now.”

 

If any of that sounds familiar, you’re not doing anything wrong — you’re doing something hard for the first time.

​

Therapy can be a place where you don’t have to be the competent one, the regulated one, or the insightful one. You don’t need to have a perfectly articulated reflection about your inner child (unless you want to). You can show up confused, tired, frustrated, or unsure.

​

I understand the unique stressors of early clinical work — from difficult sessions that stay with you after hours, to the pressure of documentation, productivity expectations, and supervision relationships. This isn’t supervision or case consultation. This is a space focused entirely on you: your emotional wellbeing, identity development, confidence, boundaries, and sustainability in this field.

​

My approach is supportive, collaborative, and grounded in the belief that becoming a therapist is also a process of becoming more yourself. We’ll make room for growth, self-compassion, and the occasional moment of laughing at how strange this profession can be.

You don’t have to figure out how to be a therapist while also pretending you don’t need support. Most good therapists have therapists — especially early on.
