Who helps you when you’re the one who helps others?
Online therapy for Therapists throughout California
You care for others in a profound way, but who takes care of you?
As therapists, we know the importance of self-awareness and presence. We enter the lives of others, bearing witness to their deepest truths. Yet, in the process of holding space, we can become strangers to our own inner lives. Therapy for therapists is not simply a tool for self-care—it is a space where we, too, can feel held, nurtured, and revitalized.
You’re no stranger to compassion fatigue, exhaustion, and the constant vigilance needed to hold space for those who rely on you. You’re skilled at managing the boundaries, but that doesn’t mean you’re immune to the emotional cost that comes with deep, continuous empathy. You care for others in a profound way, but who takes care of you?
In this therapeutic space, I offer therapy tailored for therapists—a place where you don’t need to filter your thoughts or censor your emotions. This is where you can freely process the challenges that come with carrying others’ stories and pain. Here, we honor the complexity of your work and the emotional toll it takes.

You’ve created a sanctuary for others. Let this be yours.
For those who give so much, therapy is not a luxury. It is an act of integrity, a return to self, and a powerful acknowledgment that to truly care for others, we must also allow ourselves to be cared for. When we honor our own needs, we do not detract from our clients; we enhance our capacity to be present, attentive, and fully alive in the healing space.
I provide a place where you can explore the personal, professional, and existential nuances of being a healer. Where your own struggles, doubts, and questions are given the same care and depth that you offer to your clients. Here, we’ll unpack the exhaustion, refuel your resilience, and find ways to re-engage with the work that once inspired you.
Here’s how embracing our own therapeutic journey allows us to continue to serve, while reconnecting with our own essential self:
Rediscover Your Boundaries – Revisit and re-establish the emotional boundaries that keep you centered and energized for your work.
Revitalize Your Curiosity – By leaning into your own inner journey, you awaken new questions and perspectives that enrich your practice and deepen your empathy.
Embrace Vulnerability with Compassion – Therapy invites you to experience the same vulnerability your clients bring, cultivating self-compassion and connecting you to your humanness.
Process the Emotional Residue – Every session leaves an imprint. Therapy is a ritual for shedding the layers left behind, so you emerge lighter, with a renewed ability to hold others.
Tap into Playfulness and Creativity – Therapy for therapists rekindles a sense of wonder and curiosity, offering fresh, playful energy to infuse into your sessions.
Revisit Your ‘Why’ – With so much focus on clients, it's easy to lose sight of your purpose. Therapy brings you back to what called you to this field, reviving the passion that fuels your practice.
Cultivate Your Own Secure Attachment – Even therapists need safe, reliable spaces. Remember what it’s like to feel seen and secure, grounding you to better support those who look to you for stability.
Reclaim Your Joy and Resilience – Therapy can restore the balance between what you give and what you receive, reinforcing the resilience and joy that come from a life deeply and compassionately lived.
Frequently asked questions about therapy for therapists
FAQs

While anyone may have this question, I find that therapists are especially interested in the specifics of my approach. My style is informal and conversational, creating space for you wherever you are in that moment, on that particular day. My formal training leans toward psychodynamic psychotherapy, with humanistic, feminist, and relational influences—think AEDP—woven throughout. I’m also trained in EMDR and have studied grief work extensively.
Cultural competence has been a significant focus in my life and work, leading to my current role on the statewide CAMFT DEI committee. Clients often describe me as authentic, skilled, and willing to gently confront when needed. Some conversations are difficult to have, and some feedback is hard to receive, but I don’t shy away from these moments. This is the work. Therapy with me is about engaging fully in the messy, beautiful process of being human.
