Experienced support for michigan’s ‘emotional first responders’
Therapy for Therapists
For those who’ve turned their empathy into a calling.
You didn’t just choose this work — it chose you.
You’ve always felt things deeply.
Long before you became a therapist, you were the one who noticed — the one who could sense the emotional weather in a room, who held space before you had the language for it.
That sensitivity? It’s your superpower.
But lately… it’s also your kryptonite.
Because being a deep feeler in a world on fire is a lot.
You’re carrying the heartbreak of your clients, the headlines of the world, the buzzing static of too many screens, not to mention the demands of your own life. You tell your clients to pause, to rest, to go outside — and yet you find yourself doomscrolling at 2 a.m., unable to sleep, body still on-call.
These are challenging times — the kind no schooling or training could have prepared you for. Headlines, client crises and the constant hum of collective anxiety keep your nervous system on high alert.
You’re a healer and a professional —with the benefit of life experience —and yet it’s hard to hold it all together. You’ve shown up for everyone else all this time. Now it’s your turn to have someone show up for you. To hold space, to support you, to help you tend your own heart while you continue to care for the world.
Feel familiar?
You feel invisible at times; the parts of you that once sparkled — your creativity, wonder and drive — are MIA.
You’re second-guessing yourself at every turn and get trapped in overthinking.
Sleep is fleeting. Boundaries feel fragile. Self-compassion feels aspirational.
You know the advice, you see the path and yet somehow applying it to yourself feels like walking through fog.
You dream of a job where you just show up, do your work and leave stress at the door - barista, maybe?
how we work together
This is where we slow things down.
Together, we’ll make space for you — the you beneath the professional, beneath the constant caregiving, beneath the quiet voice that insists “I’m okay.”
My approach is integrative, weaving together various therapy methods to tailor our work to your needs. In our sessions, we’ll move between exploration and healing. I’ll bring curiosity, openness and presence, listening closely and offering new perspectives, while honoring your inner wisdom — this is a true team effort. Whatever you’re moving through, we’ll sort it out together.
This isn’t about becoming a different therapist, or even a “better” one — it’s about becoming a truer one. One who’s present without depletion, empathic without absorption, strong without shutting down.
Because when you begin to honor your own humanity, the work starts to feel like magic again.
When all is said and done, here’s the thing:
The truth of who you are is more than you let yourself believe.
Picture starting your day…
…feeling truly grounded in who you are.
The wisdom you’ve always known for others begins to guide you.
You’ve learned to be kind and gentle with yourself — and in turn, with those you care for.
You show up in the world — at work, at home, in your own life — fully present, lighter and steadier.
You recognize and honor yourself, and with that, your creativity, zest and hope for what’s possible return.
