Therapy for Therapists

You hold space for everyone else. Where do you put what you carry?

All day, you are the steady one. You track your clients' nervous systems, hold their stories, and stay present through some of the hardest moments of their lives. Then you go home, and there is often no place for what stirred in you along the way.

Maybe your own history keeps showing up in session. Maybe you're exhausted in a way rest doesn't touch. Or maybe you've spent years helping others heal and quietly wondered when it's your turn.

It's your turn. Healers deserve the same care, depth, and safety we offer everyone else.

What's different when your therapist knows the work

You know the language. You know the interventions. You might even catch yourself watching how I work, or showing up as the "good client" who already has the insight. That's okay. Those parts make sense, and they're welcome here too.

Many therapists come to me because they want help letting the intellectual, analyzing parts rest so they can actually drop in. Knowing about healing and feeling it in your body are different things. Here, you get to hang up the therapist hat and simply be a person, held in all of your humanity.

I've been in this chair too. I believe in the work I offer because I've done it myself, and I take my own healing seriously so I can care well for the people I sit with.

What you might bring

Therapists, counselors, social workers, bodyworkers, doulas, and other healers come to me with all kinds of things, including:

• Burnout or compassion fatigue that doesn't lift with a vacation

• Vicarious trauma from the stories you hold every day

• Your own trauma history being stirred by client work

• Shame about struggling when you're "supposed to know better"

• Feeling unseen or alone in a profession built on seeing others

• Questions about your identity outside of the helper role

• Dissociation, parts work, or complex trauma you want to explore from the inside

• Life transitions, relationships, parenting, and everything else that makes you human

You don't need a crisis to deserve this space. Sometimes the work is simply having somewhere that's just for you.

How I work

My approach is somatic, relational, and parts-informed. Talk can only take us so far when patterns live deep in the nervous system, so we'll work with your body and your inner world as well as your thoughts.

• Internal Family Systems (IFS): Getting to know the protective parts that keep you functioning, and the tender parts underneath that need care. I'm Level 3 trained and wrote The Tender Parts, a book on this way of working.

• Somatic Experiencing: Gently helping your nervous system release what it has been holding, so your body can relearn safety.

• Brainspotting and EMDR: Processing what words alone can't reach, at a pace your system can handle.

We move at your pace. Whether you want deep trauma processing or a steady place to land each week, we'll shape the work around what you need.

Privacy and practical details

I know the therapy community can feel small. Your privacy matters to me, and I hold it with care. If we ever cross paths at a training, conference, or community event, I won't acknowledge our work together unless you do first.

• Where: In person in South Austin, or virtually anywhere in Texas. Virtual sessions can offer extra privacy if you'd rather not risk running into colleagues in a waiting room.

• Session options: 50-minute and 80-minute sessions, plus 3-hour intensives for deeper work.

• Fees: [Add your current fees here, matching your bio page.]

• Insurance: I'm out of network. I can provide a superbill you may be able to submit for out-of-network reimbursement.

A note on dual relationships

Because I also provide clinical supervision, consultation, and training, I'm thoughtful about overlapping roles. I don't provide therapy to current supervisees or consultation clients. If we already know each other professionally, reach out anyway. We can talk it through together, and if I'm not the right fit, I'm glad to help you find someone who is.
