Therapy for Burnout In Denver, New York City, and Maine
Go From Ruminating In The “Sunday Scaries” To Feeling Present With Your Family
You know that when you’re running on empty, it starts to affect everything. You’re pushing through exhaustion at work only to show up depleted, withdrawn, and irritable at home. You’re great at holding space for others, but your own tank feels drained. You feel disconnected and worried and you’re starting to find yourself distracted from work and not performing your best.
If you find yourself angry, lashing out at your partner and friends and want to find joy in your life outside of work again, this is the place for you.
You’re ready to go from spending your evenings ruminating on work and counting the minutes to bedtime to feeling present with your family.
EMDR Therapy in Denver, CO
I am an advanced EMDRIA-Certified EMDR Therapist specializing in healing the healers. Nurses, physicians, therapists, and social workers face high rates of burnout and compassion fatigue, which I treat with EMDR therapy. My specialty is helping high-achieving healthcare professionals and caregivers process trauma, burnout, and compassion fatigue so that they can keep doing what they love at work and at home.
In my EMDR therapy practice in Denver, you will find a space that affirms your cultural, racial, ethnic, sexual, and gender identities. As healthcare workers, we are impacted by our own upbringings and the systems in which we work. My approach is anti-racist and I view an understanding of systemic oppression as integral to the therapeutic process. I am an EMDRIA-certified EMDR therapist and EMDR consultant-in-training providing telehealth therapy in NYC and surrounding New York areas, Colorado, & Maine.

Therapy for Therapists, Social Workers, and Healthcare Professionals
You’re not just burned out, you’re starting to believe that you’re not cut out for this work at all. The shame spiral that follows burnout in healthcare professionals is real. My practice integrates parts work, somatic psychology, interpersonal therapy, CBT, DBT, and EMDR. It’s not just about “coping” with toxic environments; it’s about creating systems to maintain safety, learning to separate, and processing the traumatic events and chronic stresses of the job.
Therapy for Stressed and Burned Out Moms
When you’re dealing with chronic stress, you start to notice not just exhaustion but all kinds of aches and pains, your digestion is off, and you’re slogging through your days. When treating burnout and chronic stress, we will explore the messages you’ve learned about yourself and the world around you and identify coping strategies.
Trauma Therapy with EMDR in Denver
Trauma impacts your whole world. You might find yourself constantly on edge or re-experiencing the trauma at the worst possible moments. With EMDR therapy (eye movement desensitization and reprocessing), we’ll reduce your somatic and emotional activation (Desensitize) and discover a more positive self-view (Reprocess) to move beyond the worldview trauma gave you.
Therapy for Pregnancy Loss and Birth Trauma
You feel like you’re already the worst mom ever; disconnected, angry, and crying in the closet. Perinatal mental health disorders occur pre-pregnancy, during pregnancy, and post-loss and postpartum. None of the books prepared you for the hormonal roller coaster you’re on. My advanced training in perinatal mental health incorporates interpersonal therapy, EMDR, CBT, and DBT to help you feel not just like yourself again, but feel connected to your new identity as a parent.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) about EMDR Therapy in Denver, Colorado
- How do I get started with therapy?
- Reach out using my contact form. I will respond within 24 hours (within 48 hours if you contact me on a Friday or Saturday) to schedule a free, 15-minute consultation call to better understand what your needs are and discuss my approach to helping you. I recommend having this type of call with multiple therapists before moving forward.
- Your first session will be a 75-minute intake session where we will get to know each other better. Subsequent sessions are typically 55-minutes, but I offer 90-minute sessions for couples therapy and sessions as long as 3-hours for EMDR intensives.
- Your website lists therapy in Denver, Maine, and NYC. Where are you located and do you offer in-person as well as virtual sessions?
- I’ve been offering virtual therapy in Colorado since 2020 and haven’t returned to offering in-person sessions (yet!). My therapy clients appreciate the ease of attending therapy around their work and home responsibilities. I’m currently located in Maine and love being able to offer virtual therapy so that I can continue with clients in New York, Colorado, and where I’m currently living.
- How long does the therapy process typically take and how often will we meet?
- This depends on your needs. We will work through acute symptoms first and many people choose to end therapy once they feel better. Some symptoms connect to deeper patterns of relating to yourself and others, which is longer-term therapy work. We will collaborate on a treatment plan and Good Faith Estimate for 3 – 6 months at a time, but that does not require you stay in therapy for that long.
- Will therapy for burnout make me lose my competitive edge or ambition?
- Absolutely not! Therapy for burnout will actually help you stay in your job longer and feel more effective in your role. We will discuss strategies to help you also commit to taking care of yourself with the same verve you bring to your work and family, but this always attends to what’s possible in your specific work context.
