Burnout

I’m dedicated to supporting those who spend their careers helping others, with extensive experience treating healthcare workers, mental and behavioral health providers, social workers, and other helping professionals. Burnout has become so common that it’s often seen as unavoidable and even accepted as part of the job. While many assume it only affects mid- or late-career professionals, research shows that those just starting out are actually at the highest risk.

I help clients manage stress and burnout by teaching healthy coping strategies, boundary-setting, and mindfulness techniques to restore balance and well-being.

I have both lived and professional experience with burnout, as well as invisible chronic illness. Much of my work in supporting you in your recovery from burnout centers around developing self-acceptance and self-compassion, sustainable self-care, boundary setting, and conscious engagement with self, others, and the world.

Burnout often leaves you feeling depleted, overwhelmed, and disconnected from what once brought you joy. I help clients navigate the emotional and physical toll of burnout by addressing its root causes and creating space for restoration. Together, we’ll explore how overcommitment, perfectionism, or chronic stress impacts your well-being and identify new ways to foster balance and self-compassion. My goal is to help you reclaim your energy, purpose, and a sense of fulfillment.

Overcoming Burnout with Therapy Burnout can leave you feeling exhausted, disconnected, and overwhelmed, especially in high-pressure environments like leadership and healthcare. As a therapist, I help individuals experiencing burnout regain balance and restore their sense of purpose. Together, we’ll identify the sources of your stress, develop effective coping strategies, and help you find fulfillment again in both your personal and professional life.

Usually we choose our jobs because we enjoy something about it. Burnout takes that joy, and dulls it, until we lose our passion and drive, and just feel drained and exhausted. It's a slow process, that leaves us suddenly realizing we have to change something, but left unsure what happened and what to change. When we work on burnout through therapy, we explore what's causing this feeling, and how we can create changes in meaningful and long-term ways.

Burnout is a state of physical or emotional exhaustion (or both) that also involves a sense of reduced accomplishment and loss of personal identity. It's important to note that solutions to burnout often involve changes in the external world and working environment. From a therapy standpoint, I work with burnout by helping clients identify the changes they would like to see, empowering and practicing advocacy, and using coping strategies in the interim.

Ever feel like everything is just too much? Not getting as much done as you used to? Nothing feels worth it anymore? You may be experiencing burnout. Recognizing what's happening is a critical first step, and then working on balancing work and life--and giving yourself permission to do that--is important. We'll also work on boundary setting and other workplace skills, as well as taking time for yourself: and therapy is that first step.

I help individuals experiencing burnout, particularly those in creative fields and those who identify as Highly Sensitive People. We’ll work together to identify the root causes of burnout and develop a sustainable plan to restore balance. Using a combination of therapy, mindfulness, and creative practices, I guide clients in reconnecting with their passions, setting healthy boundaries, and prioritizing self-care to regain energy and purpose.

Working long hours, being the go-to at work, and taking care of everyone's needs puts you on a one way road to burnout. Burnout is ripe with anxiety, depression, insomnia, and crabbiness! It's not a fun space to be in. If this is where you find yourself after years of caretaking for others, being a breadwinner, household CEO, or over-achieving superstar, it's time for support. Take one hour a week for yourself and get the support you need. Let's regroup together. It's better on the other side!

During the pandemic I worked alongside my medical colleagues in overburdened hospital systems. I am acutely aware that healthcare providers, high achievers, caregivers and front line staff are exposed to vicarious trauma on a daily basis. Many of us feel more than simply burned out – we are experiencing moral injury. We feel listless, numb, disengaged, and drained. I understand the isolation of this experience and have both lived the experience and trained in skills to help.

As a licensed clinical therapist, I help people who are struggling with work-life balance and other career-related issues. I especially enjoy working with neurodivergent entrepreneurs, creatives, and other professionals who feel stuck or frustrated by how their brains function. Please reach out if are trying to create a better work-life balance, navigate a career change, find greater personal or professional fulfillment, or recover from burnout.

So often the patterns we developed to survive or thrive as kids can lead to outcomes in our adult lives where we are giving too much or in directions that aren't feeding us. The demands of the world are large in this hectic digital age. It can all use more energy that we have. I help people identify who they are and how they can align their life to be an embodiment of themselves. Finding where our boundaries need to be and healing the patterns that keep us from being able to holding them there.

Coping with unreasonable expectations and feelings of overwhelm in the workplace; restoring energy, balance, and motivation.
