I provide specialized, trauma-informed therapy tailored for healthcare workers navigating burnout, moral injury, and vicarious trauma. Having spent over two decades working directly in healthcare prior to entering clinical mental health counseling, I understand the high-stakes pressure, toxic workplace cultures, and relentless emotional demands of the medical field from the inside out. When you sit down with me, you never have to waste time explaining medical jargon, shift work, or why "leaving work at work" isn't as simple as it sounds. My approach is attachment-focused, somatic, and deeply rooted in the mind-body connection. I integrate evidence-based modalities—including EMDR, Polyvagal Theory, ACT, CBT, and Schema Therapy—to help your body and nervous system finally discharge chronic stress, quiet the inner critic, and step out of survival mode. Together, we work beyond surface-level coping skills to build genuine resilience, establish healthy boundaries without the guilt, and help you reconnect with who you are outside of your job. Whether you are navigating systemic burnout, moral injury, or the challenge of setting healthy boundaries without guilt, AimWell Counseling and Wellness is dedicated to helping you restore safety, connection, and resilience—so you can thrive both inside and outside of your work.
