Rooted Compassion

Science-Informed. Whole-Person. Deeply Rooted.

Seventeen years inside the healthcare system taught me what it costs when wellbeing support comes too late. As a Licensed Clinical Social Worker and PhD in Industrial-Organizational Psychology, I work with individuals, clinical teams, and organizations — grounded in evidence, guided by genuine care.

For too long, wellbeing support has been reactive — the last stop instead of the first step. I’m here to change that.

What I Offer

Services

Evidence-based, whole-person support — for individuals navigating demanding professional lives and organizations ready to build healthier cultures.

Individual Therapy & Coaching

You carry a lot. The weight of demanding work, of caring for others, of quietly wondering if you're okay. This is a space to put that down — and figure out what you actually need.

Professional Burnout & Wellbeing

After 17 years working alongside healthcare professionals, I know what burnout looks like before it becomes a crisis. Evidence-based, whole-person support for the people who rarely ask for help.

Organizational Wellbeing Consulting

Wellbeing isn't a perk program. It's infrastructure. I help organizations build the systems, policies, and cultures that support their people before things break.

What Burnout Actually Looks Like Before It Becomes a Crisis

After 17 years of working with healthcare professionals, I can tell you something that the burnout literature doesn't always make clear: by the time most people recognize they're burned out, they've been burned out for a long time.
