Compassion Fatigue Therapist

You Carry So Much for Others. Let’s Lighten the Load for You.

In our therapy sessions, we will focus on:

    •    Recognizing symptoms of compassion fatigue and vicarious trauma

    •    Understanding how empathy overload impacts your nervous system

    •    Processing stories and emotions absorbed through your work

    •    Rebuilding emotional boundaries and internal containment

    •    Creating daily rituals and systems of energetic protection

    •    Reconnecting with your own humanity, joy, and limit

    •    Building a life where caring deeply doesn’t come at your expense

When you work in helping professions—therapy, healthcare, crisis response, social services, advocacy—you open your heart to pain that isn’t yours. Over time, the weight of witnessing suffering can build quietly and heavily. You may feel emotionally numb, chronically exhausted, detached, irritable, or even hopeless. This isn’t burnout—it’s compassion fatigue and vicarious trauma.

As a licensed psychotherapist and former medical doctor who works with fellow helpers and healers, I offer a space to unpack what you carry. Together, we give attention to the wounds that accumulate simply by doing this work with care and integrity. You don’t have to hold it alone anymore.

Caring is your superpower—but even superheroes need rest, healing, and care of their own. Let’s help you stay open-hearted and well-resourced so your compassion becomes sustainable, not sacrificial.

I provide therapy in Beverly Hills, Brentwood, Venice, Marina Del Rey, Culver City, Mar Vista, Playa Del Rey, West Los Angeles, Pacific Palisades, Palms, and Santa Monica.
