About
New Client Summer Special 90 Integrative Session for $190. You’re the one people come to for support — the therapist, healer, or helper who holds space for everyone else. But lately, you’re exhausted. You’re carrying too much, and you don’t have a place to put your own pain. I specialize in working with therapists, healers, and people in caregiving professions who are experiencing burnout, compassion fatigue, and emotional overwhelm. This is a space where you don’t have to be the strong one. You get to be human, too. I understand what it’s like to be the one others rely on — and how hard it can be to ask for support yourself. Many of the people I work with feel deeply — they care about their clients, patients, and communities, and often carry that emotional weight long after the workday ends. In our sessions, we slow things down. Instead of performing or analyzing yourself, you’ll have space to process what you’ve been holding — at your own pace, without judgment. My approach integrates traditional therapy with mind-body and, if it resonates with you, spiritual practices. This may include techniques like breathwork, Internal Family Systems, guided imagery, or other reflective practices that help you reconnect with yourself. You’ve spent years helping others heal. You deserve a space where you can do the same. Specialties: I also offer Workshops and Half-Day Healer's Retreat for Therapist's, Health Care Worker, First Responders, Energy Healers, CEO's and Entrepreneurs in service. In Stuart, FL. Palm Beach Gardens, FL. A Half Day local Retreat to tend to self, engage in psychoeducation, experiential learning through expressive modalities. Can be curated for groups and smaller workshops.
