You know how to hold space. You've been trained for it, you're good at it, and most days you show up and do it well.

But sometimes something in a session catches on something in you. A client's story lands a little too close. A dynamic pulls at something you haven't fully looked at yet. You notice yourself reacting in ways that feel more personal than professional, and you know exactly what that means.

You probably love this work. Most healers do. But somewhere in all that holding for other people, it's easy to stop noticing you need someone to hold something for you too.

Burnout doesn't always look dramatic. Sometimes it's shutting down at the end of the day. Sometimes it's doom scrolling instead of resting. Sometimes it's just never quite getting around to the kind of care you'd actually tell a client they deserve.This might be for you if:

• You're carrying cases home without meaning to

• You've started dreading work in a way that scares you

• You know you need support but feel strange asking for it

• You're not sure who you are outside of the role anymore

There's something different about working with someone who already understands what you carry. You don't have to explain it. And we don't have to spend the whole time talking about work.

I work with therapists, nurses, social workers, and other healing professionals in Santa Rosa and online across California.
