Health Care Workers
Burnout. High turnover. Harassment. Constant frustration. Maybe made worse by anxiety, depression, or something harder to name. Have those feelings been there for a while, just under the surface? In this work, it is easy to put yourself last. You keep going. You tell yourself you will deal with it later. You focus on getting the job done. And when you do try to talk about it, friends and family often just don’t get it..
In my time as a social worker in a busy Emergency Department, I have worked alongside people doing their best to hold everything together in the middle of crisis. The pace is intense. The pressure is real. And over time, it can start to affect the way you think, relate, and feel.
Therapy can be a space to pause and check in with yourself. To sort through what has built up and consider what might actually help. You do not have to be at a breaking point to ask for support. I offer a calm, steady space where we can look at what you have been carrying and work together to find a way forward in the direction of the more fulfilling, enriching life you see for yourself.
