You know better than anyone what therapy can do for a person. You have watched it change lives. You have guided people through their darkest moments and sat with them in pain that most people never witness.

And yet here you are. Carrying something you have not had space to put down. Running on reserves you have been quietly depleting for months or years. Showing up fully for every client while quietly wondering who shows up fully for you.

This is not a character flaw. It is what happens when you give as much as you give without a dedicated space to receive.

You deserve that space. And you deserve it with someone who actually understands what this work costs.

Individual Therapy for Therapists

Being a therapist does not make you immune to the things that bring everyone else to therapy. It just makes it harder to ask for help. Because you know too much. Because it feels like it should not be this hard for you. Because the thought of being the client instead of the clinician feels disorienting in ways that are difficult to explain to someone who has not lived it.

I understand that experience from the inside. And I create a space where you can set down the clinical hat completely. No performing insight. No managing how your vulnerability lands. Just you, your experience, and honest therapeutic work that is entirely yours.

The therapists I work with are navigating things like compassion fatigue and burnout that has been building for longer than they want to admit. The weight of secondary trauma that accumulates quietly across years of sitting with other people's pain. Personal relationships strained by the emotional demands of a career that never fully clocks out. Identity confusion around who you are outside of your role as helper. Life transitions, grief, anxiety, relationship challenges, and everything else that being human brings, credential or not.

You refer your clients to therapy without hesitation. You deserve the same.

Clinical Consultation

Sometimes what you need is not therapy. It is a thinking partner. Someone with experience and perspective who can help you work through a complex case, navigate a clinical challenge, or think more clearly about your own practice.

I offer clinical consultation for therapists who want a structured, confidential space to think out loud about their work. Whether you are navigating a particularly complex client situation, working through an ethical question, wanting a fresh perspective on a treatment approach, or simply needing someone to think alongside you, consultation gives you exactly that.

This is not supervision in the traditional sense. It is a collaborative, peer level conversation between two clinicians who both care deeply about doing this work well.

Why Work With Me

I have been in this field for over 15 years. I have worked in community health, group homes, school based settings, Child Welfare, and juvenile probation before specializing in couples therapy. I know what it looks like when this work gets heavy. I know the particular exhaustion of caring deeply about outcomes you cannot always control. And I know how isolating it can feel to carry that in a profession where everyone assumes you have all the tools to handle it yourself.

I work with therapists across California via Telehealth and in person in Temecula.

I am not here to be your supervisor or your mentor unless that is what you need. I am here to be your therapist. The one who holds your experience with the same care and skill you bring to everyone else.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why do therapists seek their own therapists?

Because being trained in therapy does not make you exempt from needing it. Providing emotional support to clients is emotionally demanding work and therapists need a confidential space to process their own experiences, manage the cumulative weight of the work, and tend to their own mental health with the same seriousness they bring to their clients. Therapy also supports ongoing professional growth, self awareness, and the kind of personal insight that makes you a more effective clinician.

How can I ensure confidentiality will not be an issue?

Confidentiality is handled the same way it is for every client. Everything shared in our sessions is strictly confidential within the limits required by law. If you have specific concerns about confidentiality or dual relationships given our professional community, bring them to your free consultation. I will address them directly and honestly so you can make an informed decision about whether working together is the right fit.

What if I feel vulnerable discussing my professional challenges?

That vulnerability is exactly why this space exists. You spend your professional life creating safety for other people to be vulnerable. You deserve a space where someone does that for you. I understand the specific discomfort of being the client when you are so practiced at being the clinician. It is something we can address directly from the very first session.

What if I find it difficult to be the client instead of the therapist?

This is one of the most common experiences therapists bring to their own therapy and one of the most valuable things to work through. The discomfort of relinquishing control, sitting with uncertainty, and being on the receiving end of clinical skill is real and worth paying attention to. I understand this dynamic and can help you navigate it with both directness and care.

What is the difference between therapy and consultation?

Individual therapy focuses on your personal wellbeing, mental health, and the experiences you are navigating as a human being. Consultation focuses on your clinical work, specific cases, professional challenges, and practice questions. Some therapists engage in both. We will talk about what fits best during your free consultation.
