Burnout

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.

I have many clients who experience emotional numbing, disconnection, and overwhelm due to the demanding nature of their lives in and outside of work. Let's work together to examine the frameworks you function in: both internally in your mind as well as externally (the culture of your work/family). We can reconnect you to your true self and your values, allowing for a greater sense of freedom and peace.

Is your inner critic your worst boss ever? Are you asking yourself what you need to change about yourself in order to get to the place you want? Don't go down the same road that got you here wondering why you are not enjoying your success. What if the answer is to not change yourself, but to embrace and amplify your natural strengths and wisdom to allow the change that works for you?

Through therapy, we explore the underlying causes of burnout, develop coping strategies, and prioritize self-care. Together, we create a plan to help clients manage their symptoms and regain a sense of balance and well-being.

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.

Many of my clients through the years have been overworked, overcommitted and felt undervalued at their places of employment. I have successfully helped many men and women in their quest for a more fulfilling career path. I have also addressed caregiver burnout; this is a huge concern as many are taking care of loved ones.

Burnout has a way of sneaking up on us—one day, you're powering through, and the next, you're totally drained. I specialize in helping people recognize the signs of burnout and work through the exhaustion. Together, we'll build tools to restore your energy and find balance again. You don't have to push through it alone—let’s get you back to feeling like yourself, with more calm, clarity, and room to breathe.

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

Often the clients who find me are nearing max capacity. They have a pattern of taking on more than they can handle because they fear disappointing others. They are often caretakers and empathic people who really care about others but sometimes at the cost of their own needs. I help my clients to understand their patterns from a loving and compassionate place, shifting their beliefs of self worth and working through the discomfort that comes with needed change.

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.

Burnout is an all-too-common phenomenon in today's world, and it sometimes feels like we do a lot more talking about it than, well, doing anything about it. This is completely normal. After all, how are you supposed to address burnout when you're too burnt out to add something else to your plate? I have experience addressing burnout and compassion fatigue across sectors, including national healthcare systems, humanitarian aid organizations, non-profits, and the criminal justice system.

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.

Balancing the demands of work and personal life can seem like a daunting task. Together, we will work on managing internal and external expectations and creating a balanced and fulfilling routine. We'll do this by identifying stressors, setting boundaries, and finding ways to implement self-care practices into your hectic daily life.

I'm particularly adept at supporting health care workers like doctors, nurses, physician assistants, nurse practitioners, and students of health professions. Other professions I support when people are feeling burnout include code monkeys and tech workers, other therapists and professional helpers, teachers, and social or environmental justice workers.

You feel depleted. Your personal life and/or your health is suffering because you work all the time. You may be feeling jaded, cynical or hopeless in regards to your job. You are not doing the kind of work that you are capable of and you may feel like you just want to quit.

I have niche experience working with medical professionals such as physicians, nurses and medical trainees and directed a program at UNMC aimed at understanding burnout.

Although it can be difficult to choose to focus on yourself, activists, campaign, and front line relief workers report commonly experiencing frustration, anger, and burnout. As you grow and discover your understanding of the world and your passion for improving it, you may have reached a point where you run out of steam. I am here to offer you a safe space to process your story, discuss your anger, and grieve the losses.

Providing therapy for burnout, I specialize in helping financial advisors and entrepreneurs recover from chronic stress and overwhelm. Using EMDR and actionable strategies, clients address perfectionism, set sustainable boundaries, and restore energy and focus. My personalized, integrative approach empowers individuals to regain balance, resilience, and fulfillment in both their personal and professional lives.

Once we enter adulthood, we are continually preparing for the next stage of life. This leads to a change in values and dip in life satisfaction. Happiness isn't tied to our external circumstances, yet we still find ourselves striving to meet some unmeetable goal. This leads us to be frustrated achievers who feel guilty or experience malaise despite good jobs, good families, and stable income. Acceptance, commitment, and action to change can help us escape the happiness trap.

If you are high-masking autistic, ADHD, or a highly sensitive person the world can feel pretty overwhelming. Together we can work to understand your nervous system and how to recover from burnout and increase your vagal tone. I also take a perspective that the world is typically not accommodating to neurodivergent people and often times burnout can be a symptom of that reality. I take a systems perspective and look at the bigger issues that contribute to burnout. I use a neurodiversity paradigm.
