You’re unable to turn your brain off once you’re off the clock. Your weekends aren’t restful or enjoyable the way they used to be.

You feel guilty for not making the most of the time that you have to yourself. You struggle to fully savor time you do have with your loved ones because there’s a part of you that can’t allow yourself to be unproductive, that has to get the next thing checked off the to-do list, that has to refresh your to-do list, that has to take this call...

You’ve felt overwhelmed and anxious for so long that, physically, you feel horrible. Maybe you’ve found yourself seriously doubting you’ll ever be free from the anxious-overachieving-burnout cycle.

Worst of all, you feel dangerously close to crashing and burning and you don’t have a place to do that — maybe you never have.

You’re in the right place.

Whether you work in mental health, design, medicine, advocacy, education, or even if you’re still a student, separating yourself from your work is essential. You may be facing:

Feeling like you have no identity outside of your professional role
Vicarious or secondary trauma (read more)
Compassion fatigue (read more)
A toxic workplace
Moral injury (read more)
Work-related stress dreams
A schedule that makes you feel like a machine
Disconnection from family and friends

Because behind the role you play for survival, you are a person, too.

Imagine learning to embrace your successful side…

and to let yourself just be.

Overcoming burnout isn’t just about doing the right breathing techniques or exercising enough. It’s not just about changing your mindset and saying the right affirmations to yourself. It’s not all about your neurotransmitters or your dysregulated nervous system either.

It’s multifaceted. I’m sure you’ve tried one or many of the above solutions — to your short-term benefit.

I won’t give you simple or quick fixes that will fail you long-term. Instead, I help you look at the roots of where you get hooked into this cycle. I listen past all the noise that guilt, perfectionism, people-pleasing, caretaking, and hustle culture whisper into your ear and move straight towards the complex tangle of strong body sensations, emotions, experiences, and beliefs — personal and systemic — that grip you from within. And I will face it with you.

I use an integration of Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy, mindfulness, Somatic Internal Family Systems, Psychodynamic Therapy, relational approaches, and EMDR to help people break through the persistent dysfunctional beliefs and behaviors that fuel their burnout.

In session with me…

You won’t have to hold it all together.

You won’t have to take care of anyone or anything else — just yourself.

You’ll receive understanding and nonjudgment for the things that you struggle with so persistently.

And I’ll challenge you to face things you’ve been avoiding — in a more loving and gentle way than you might expect.

We will dig deeply into the logic of your burnout, find and feel into the parts you get stuck on, and

repattern them together.

Therapy for burnout can help you:

Unchain yourself mentally and physically from what you “should” be doing or what others want you to do
Experience quiet and deliberateness in your thoughts
Finally believe that you matter apart from what you have accomplished or not accomplished
Actually embody what you truly love — slowness, rest, play, patience, and repetition
Spend “unproductive” time making the best memories with your loved ones guilt-free
Experience creativity again

If you feel you’re at your wit’s end, here’s what I really want you to know:

Burnout isn’t just a collapse. It’s an initiation.
