Physicians, nurses, therapists, and other health professionals often experience burnout, secondary trauma, compassion fatigue, and PTSD, and I’ve created a private, therapeutic space for you to process, restore, and regain balance.I’ve experienced the same burnout and secondary trauma that you carry, and my practice is designed to help you, the helping professional, regain energy, resilience, and focus. Wherever you are, your session meets you there--offering calm, clarity and connection through private, virtual therapy sessions.

I provide specialized care for helping professionals who are silently carrying the weight of others’ trauma:

  • Physicians and medical professionals

  • Nurses and allied health staff

  • Therapist, counselors and social workers

  • Other high-functioning health professionals experiencing burnout, compassion fatigue, or secondary trauma

Services & Packages

Traditional weekly therapy often takes months to move deep somatic trauma, and high-achieving helping professionals simply do not have the luxury of waiting. My practice is designed exclusively for doctors, nurses, executives, and therapists navigating acute occupational stress, secondary trauma, and sudden critical incidents.THE CRITICAL INCIDENT WEEKEND INTENSIVEThe Investment: $2,400.00 Flat Fee (Direct Private Self-Pay)The Structure: Virtual | 2 Consecutive Half-Days (Saturday & Sunday, 4 Hours Each) + 1 Pre-Intensive Intake + 1 Post-Intensive Integration Follow-Up.The Framework: A rapid-response, deep-reprocessing container engineered specifically to unburden the nervous system after a catastrophic workplace event (such as an adverse patient outcome, severe vicarious trauma, or a high-stakes professional complaint).The Focus: We combine advanced, targeted EMDR (bilateral stimulation) to clear the core distressing memory with Internal Family Systems (IFS) unburdening rituals to heal the identity wound. Over a single weekend, we move from acute panic and somatic flooding into absolute emotional containment, self-sovereignty, and restored executive functioning.
