Burnout

For high achievers and perfectionists who are constantly reaching for success, it can be hard to find a balance between ambition and well-being. You may feel like you are always in pursuit of a goal but struggle to allow yourself to celebrate when you get there (or find yourself constantly moving the goal post). We understand the unique challenges you face and are committed to helping you thrive in both your personal and professional pursuits through our evidence-based approaches.

You want to feel peaceful and content, but instead you are: overwhelmed by stress, totally burned out, and questioning if you will ever feel the rewards from your career as you once did. Each day feels like you are being stretched a bit thinner and you wonder how much you have left to give. Life doesn’t have to go on this way. It is my mission to provide scientifically informed psychotherapy for women experiencing professional burnout without sacrificing compassion and genuine concern.

It's like your brain has stopped working. You have so much to do, but sometimes it just switches off and you realize you’ve been staring at your computer screen for 20 minutes. You’re constantly exhausted, and can’t understand how everyone else is keeping all these balls in the air! What’s wrong with me? Is it ADHD? Burnout? Maybe just existential dread? You’re not alone; Capitalism is a harsh mistress. I can’t fix the world, but I can help you learn how to cope, and how to recharge your brain!

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.

There is little to no time for the things that you enjoy doing. You are afraid that if you say “no” to work or to the people in your life, you are letting them down. You often feel responsible for other’s emotional reactions, trying to smooth things over. You walk on eggshells and are so focused on not upsetting anyone that you constantly second guess yourself. You spend a lot of time feeling guilty.

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.

Burnout is a symptom of moral distress and moral injury that arise when work place systemic issues force us into compromising our personal and professional values. Self-care is not the answer. Self-compassion allows us to recover, heal and advocate for systemic change.

Burnout is epidemic in women, driven by societal expectations that demand relentless productivity and sacrifice. As a feminist and social justice advocate, I’m on a mission to eradicate burnout by challenging these norms and empowering women to reclaim their well-being. Through embracing pleasure, authenticity, self-care, and rest, we resist the toxic hustle culture. This rebellion allows women to thrive on their own terms, cultivating balance and joy while rejecting the pressures to overextend.

Burnout is often associated with prolonged stress in the workplace, but I apply this term also to relationships, personal goals, school & burnout related to neurodiversity & sensory burnout.

I help clients to acknowledge burnout & begin to address stress & the build-up of prolonged stress or exposure to toxic environments.

Is the last request just too much? Do you find that you have a shorter and shorter fuse, perhaps leading to an unexpected emotional response?

For the last 12 years, my professional focus has been on stress and burnout in the helping profession.
