Therapy for Physicians in Salt Lake City and Across Utah
Private, practical support for physicians navigating stress, burnout, and life outside of medicine
You've spent your career taking care of everyone else. Now it's time to take care of you.
Private, practical support for physicians navigating stress, burnout, and life outside of medicine
You’re used to handling pressure, making high-stakes decisions, and showing up for others—regardless of what’s happening in your own life.
You went into medicine to make a difference. But somewhere between training and where you are now, the work may have started to take more than it gives back.
I provide therapy for physicians in Salt Lake City and across Utah through a secure, HIPAA-compliant telehealth platform. My approach is focused, confidential, and grounded in the realities of practicing medicine—so you can think clearly, regain stability, and move forward in a way that feels workable.
When the demands of medicine start affecting everything else
Medicine asks a lot of you. Over time, that pressure can show up in ways that are hard to ignore:
Burnout that doesn’t resolve with time off
Difficulty disconnecting from work
Strain in your relationships
Irritability, anxiety, or emotional exhaustion
Feeling like you’re not functioning at your usual level
You may still be performing well professionally, but internally things feel off.
Therapy that understands the context you’re working in
I work with physicians at all stages of their careers—from training through established practice—who want a space to think clearly, without judgment or unnecessary pathologizing.
Our work is focused on helping you:
Make sense of what’s happening beneath the surface
Regain a sense of control and stability
Develop practical ways to manage stress and decision-making
Navigate professional and personal challenges more effectively
What you can expect from this work
Clearer thinking under pressure
So you can make decisions with more confidence, both professionally and personally.
Improved emotional regulation
Less reactivity, more control—especially in high-stress situations.
More workable relationships
At home and at work, with better communication and fewer escalating patterns.

Why Physicians Choose to Work with Me
A therapist who comes from a medical family — I grew up around physicians and understand the culture of medicine from the inside, not just from a clinical textbook
25+ years of clinical experience as a licensed clinical social worker, with a focus on high-achieving professionals under chronic stress
Evidence-based methods — including DBT-informed skills for distress tolerance and emotion regulation, and mindfulness-based approaches supported by research on physician burnout
Telehealth flexibility — sessions that fit around your schedule, not the other way around
A confidential, judgment-free space — I've worked with physicians navigating everything from early-career overwhelm to serious professional consequences, and I understand the stakes
Therapy that respects your time and your reality
Many physicians I work with are not looking for open-ended, exploratory therapy.
They want:
A clear sense of direction
A place to think through complex situations
Support that leads to meaningful change
→That’s how this work is structured.
