Individual Therapy for Physicians and Physician Spouses to Help You Focus on Your Well-Being
I offer virtual individual therapy to physicians and physician spouses in California, Utah, Idaho, Iowa, Indiana, Texas, Florida, and South Carolina. I've been a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist since 2006 and married to a physician for more than two decades.
My practice is devoted entirely to physicians and their families. That means you won't spend your sessions explaining call schedules, training years, or why "just cut back" isn't a simple answer. Together we can address burnout, anxiety, trauma, identity loss, and the strain medicine places on your life and your marriage, with care that fits the reality you're living.
Many physicians hesitate to seek therapy because they are used to being the one who helps others. My practice is dedicated to creating a confidential and supportive space where physicians and their spouses can talk openly about the challenges they are experiencing and receive thoughtful, specialized care.
If you’re feeling alone, mentally exhausted, and worried about burdening those around you or fearful they may judge you, I am here to support you. Good therapy can provide the relief you’ve been looking for.

-
Therapy for physicians recognizes the unique pressures that come with practicing medicine, including long hours, high responsibility, exposure to suffering, and the cultural expectations within the medical profession. Working with a therapist who specializes in physicians allows these realities to be understood without needing extensive explanation, creating a more focused and supportive therapeutic process.
