The difficulties of starting and managing a practice, attending to the needs of supervisees and employees, and the sustained focus and empathy towards the clients under our care at the expense of empathy towards ourselves and our loved ones - this can be some of the most demanding professional work many of us will ever undertake in our lifetimes.
As a therapist, analyst, educator and supervisor who has made the leap from a former profession to this one, I have a deep respect and commitment to giving back to others in our field. The lives and struggles of therapists and mental health professionals can be singularly lonely and challenging, with moments of triumph and growth offset by desperate states of being adrift, an imposter, or out of our depth. And all in private, secreted away from family, friends, and colleagues.
Whether you’re finding yourself coping with business downturns, dealing with a sense of burnout or imposter syndrome, looking for supervision and assistance in sifting through the difficult cases and the depth of the psyches of your clients, I have experience as a therapist and supervisor in institutional, educational, and private practice domains.
