How Burnout Shows Up

​

If you're experiencing several of the following symptoms on a consistent basis, therapy for burnout may be the support you need:

​

Emotional + Mental Symptoms:

  • Feeling helpless, trapped, or defeated

  • Increased anxiety, sadness, or irritability

  • Low motivation or sense of dread about work

  • Difficulty concentrating or making decisions

  • Negative self-talk, self-doubt, or shame

 

Physical Symptoms:

  • Constant fatigue or low energy

  • Sleep problems

  • Headaches, stomachaches, or muscle tension

  • More frequent illnesses or physical complaints

  • Weight changes

 

Behavioral Symptoms:

  • Procrastination or avoidance

  • Withdrawing from others

  • Neglecting self-care

  • Overusing substances to cope

  • Feeling disconnected from your work or yourself

​

Therapy Can Help You Recover and Rebalance

​

Burnout doesn’t mean you’re weak—it means you’ve been strong for too long without enough support. In therapy, you’ll have space to unload what’s been weighing you down, explore the patterns and pressures contributing to your burnout, and begin creating boundaries, habits, and healing that feel sustainable.

​

I provide compassionate, personalized therapy for women navigating professional stress, high expectations, and emotional exhaustion. You don’t have to do this alone.

​

My Approach to Burnout Therapy

​

I use an integrative, holistic approach grounded in evidence-based models that help you address both the root causes and the real-life impact of burnout. Together, we’ll explore how your thoughts, feelings, behaviors, and life experiences interact—and how to create healthier, more empowering patterns moving forward.

Therapeutic approaches I often use include:

​

  • Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) – To help you identify and challenge burnout-related thought patterns.

  • Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) – To support you in accepting what you can’t control and committing to values-based action.

  • Compassion-Focused Therapy – To build self-kindness and reduce harsh self-criticism.

  • Psychoeducation & Holistic Therapy – To support your whole self—mind, body, and spirit.

​

You’re Tired, Overwhelmed, and Running on Empty

​

You work hard. You’re dependable. You pride yourself on being the one who always shows up, follows through, and holds everything together—even when you’re running on fumes. But lately, it’s starting to take a toll. Saying “no” feels impossible, and everyone’s expectations are wearing you thin. You’re exhausted, emotionally drained, and not sure how much longer you can keep this pace.

​

​If this sounds familiar, you're likely experiencing burnout—and you’re not alone. Burnout is more than just stress. It’s a chronic state of emotional, physical, and mental exhaustion caused by prolonged pressure, overwork, and unmet needs.

What Causes Burnout?

​

Burnout can be caused by many overlapping factors—especially when your environment, values, and responsibilities are out of sync. Some common contributors include:

​

  • Being chronically overworked or undervalued

  • Lack of control or unclear expectations

  • Workplace dysfunction or micromanagement

  • Conflict between your values and job demands

  • Work-life imbalance

  • Lack of support at work or at home

  • People-pleasing or difficulty setting boundaries

You're Not Meant to Carry This Alone

​

Burnout recovery doesn’t happen overnight—but with the right support, it’s absolutely possible. Therapy offers a space to rest, reset, and reclaim your sense of self. My role is to walk beside you with warmth, honesty, and practical guidance every step of the way.

​

​If you’re ready to stop surviving and start healing, I invite you to schedule a free 15-minute consultation to explore whether burnout therapy is right for you.
