You’ve Given Everything. Now It’s Your Turn.
The mask comes off, but the weight doesn’t. If you feel numb, exhausted, or not like yourself anymore — you're not failing. You're overwhelmed.
Offering trauma-informed therapy for healthcare professionals in Oklahoma who need space to feel, heal, and reconnect.
You’re trained to keep going — but at what cost?
You show up for others, no matter what. In the hospital, the clinic, the emergency room — you stay calm under pressure, navigate high-stakes decisions, and do what needs to be done. But what happens to all the stress, heartbreak, and exhaustion that never gets addressed?
Maybe you’ve started to feel numb. Maybe you cry in private or snap at the people you love. Maybe you catch yourself wondering if you’re burned out — or just broken.
You’re not broken. You’re carrying too much.
The truth is, the systems you work in often don’t leave room for your own humanity. And when you spend your days tending to other people’s pain, it’s easy to lose touch with your own.
When the Cost Starts to Show
Most healthcare professionals are used to compartmentalizing — pushing through long shifts, traumatic events, and emotional exhaustion without missing a beat. That works — until it doesn’t.
You might notice:
Trouble sleeping or shutting your mind off
Feeling emotionally flat or detached
Irritability or compassion fatigue
Guilt for feeling resentful or disconnected
A loss of purpose, identity, or joy in the work
This is your nervous system trying to keep up — not a sign of weakness. It’s your body and mind asking for a pause, not punishment.
It’s More Than Burnout
Burnout is real — but it’s often just the surface. Underneath it, many healthcare professionals are carrying:
Unacknowledged grief from patient losses, moral injury, or chronic systemic failures
Personal trauma that gets retriggered by work
Pressure to be perfect, competent, and unfailingly strong
Shame for struggling when you're supposed to have it all together
It’s not just physical exhaustion — it’s emotional depletion. The kind that sneaks up over time and leaves you wondering where your compassion went, or why it takes so much energy just to get through the day.
Sometimes what looks like burnout is actually disconnection — from your body, your values, and your sense of self. Or it's grief no one gave you space to name. Or it’s the fear that if you slow down, everything will fall apart.
Therapy helps you make space for all of that — to tell the truth about what this work has cost you, and to begin relating to yourself with more clarity, gentleness, and permission to feel.
What Makes This Hard to Talk About
In healthcare, you’re praised for being composed. For staying strong. For putting others first. But that culture of resilience often makes it harder to speak the truth about what this work is really doing to you.
Maybe you’re afraid that needing help means you’re weak — or that if you start feeling, you won’t be able to stop. Maybe you’ve told yourself, "Other people have it worse. I should be fine."
Therapy can feel radical when you're used to minimizing your pain or hiding your needs. But it’s not indulgent — it’s human. And it can be the first step toward reclaiming the parts of you that got lost in the pressure to always hold it together.
You don’t have to keep pretending you’re fine. Here, you get to be honest.
Therapy tailored to your needs
In my work with healthcare professionals, I draw on trauma-informed, experiential approaches that honor both your emotional depth and the practical realities of your life. That means:
EMDR therapy to process stuck memories, vicarious trauma, or distressing events from your work
Parts work to explore the inner roles you’ve had to take on — the fixer, the achiever, the one who never needs help
Somatic therapy to listen to what your body has been holding
Insight-based work to help you connect the dots, make meaning, and regain a sense of agency
We’ll move at your pace. No pressure. No pathologizing. Just honest, steady support.
When Weekly Therapy Isn’t Enough
For high-capacity professionals, 50 minutes a week often isn’t enough to make meaningful progress. That’s why I offer Breakthrough Therapy Intensives: focused, private-pay therapy programs designed to support deeper healing over a series of extended sessions.
These intensives aren’t one-size-fits-all. They’re carefully structured to meet your goals, your energy, and your capacity for emotional work. Each program includes multiple sessions — typically ranging from 2 to 6 hours each — spaced across several days or weeks, depending on your needs.
We begin with a clear plan: identifying what’s weighing on you, what you want to shift, and what kind of support will help get you there. Each session allows space for deeper processing — whether that’s moving through trauma using EMDR, exploring protective parts of yourself, or simply making room for what hasn’t had space to be felt.
Clients often say intensives feel like exhaling after years of holding it together. With time to slow down and integrate, you may leave with more clarity, fewer internal battles, and a renewed sense of groundedness.
This is about creating space for something to shift — not just survive another week.
A Place to Be Human
In your role, you're expected to hold everything together — to stay calm, keep moving, and put others first. But you’re human, too. And the truth is, even the strongest need support.
Therapy is a space where you don’t have to explain or justify what you’re feeling. You don’t have to be the strong one. You don’t have to keep performing.
You get to slow down. To feel. To be real.
If you’re ready to carry things differently, I’d be honored to walk alongside you.
