People who spend their careers caring for others often carry more than they speak about.
For physicians, nurses, and other healthcare professionals, the weight may come from long shifts, repeated exposure to trauma, or the quiet pressure to perform without error. Over time, even highly capable professionals can find themselves feeling on edge, emotionally narrowed, or unable to fully settle once the workday ends.
Therapy provides a structured space to process these experiences and restore steadiness in the nervous system.
My approach is practical, collaborative, and grounded in evidence-based trauma treatment. Together we identify what your nervous system has adapted to, what continues to follow you home from work, and how to restore a sense of calm and clarity in daily life.

Serving Washington and Oregon
Before becoming a therapist in private practice, I spent over a decade working alongside physicians and medical teams in emergency and hospital settings.
This experience provides a working understanding of the pace, hierarchy, and psychological demands that come with practicing medicine and responding to crisis.
Many of the professionals I work with are highly skilled clinicians who know they are good at their jobs. Yet their nervous systems remain alert long after the shift ends.
Therapy focuses on helping the body and brain process cumulative stress exposure so that work experiences no longer remain “on standby” in the background of daily life.
