Care for the Care-giver

Part of her practice specializes in providing confidential psychological services to health care workers and other professionals. Care for the care-giver is often overlooked until serious emotional and health concerns arise.

Those who dedicate their lives to saving, healing, and protecting others often absorb an unspoken burden. Healthcare workers, emergency responders, and helping professionals exist on the frontlines of human crisis, routinely witnessing pain, loss, and trauma. Over time, the continuous exposure to high-stakes environments can erode even the most resilient spirit.

Specialized depth psychotherapy recognizes that caring for others should not come at the cost of your own emotional survival. Her approach helps you step out of the caregiver role, drop the weight of expectations, and receive the same thoughtful, compassionate care you extend to others. In her work with professionals, she finds that extra attention and sensitivity to issues of shame, trust and privacy is essential, otherwise the therapeutic work is stymied.

Some of the issues that arise with health care workers, emergency responders, psychotherapists and other professionals are:

  • Burnout
  • Secondary and vicarious traumatization
  • Clinical consultation
