Therapy for burnout

You've built a life that looks successful from the outside. The career, the apartment, the social life, the full calendar. And somewhere in the middle of all of it, you stopped feeling like yourself.

You wake up tired. Things that used to excite you feel flat. You're still getting everything done, but it's costing you everything you have. You keep waiting to feel better once things slow down — except things never slow down.

That's not a scheduling problem. That's burnout.

What burnout actually looks like

Burnout in high-achieving women doesn't always look like collapse. More often it looks like:

• Chronic exhaustion that sleep doesn't fix

• Emotional numbness — going through the motions without feeling connected to any of it

• Dreading Sunday nights even when Monday isn't particularly bad

• Irritability that doesn't feel like you — snapping at people you love over small things

• A growing resentment toward work, obligations, or people you used to care about

• The sense that you've lost track of what you actually want, separate from what you're supposed to want

If you've been running on empty for long enough, rest alone won't refill the tank. Burnout requires real attention — not a vacation, not a wellness app, but actual work on the patterns that got you here.

What burnout therapy with me looks like

Burnout therapy isn't about teaching you better time management or self-care habits (though we might talk about those). It's about understanding why you got here — not just the external pressures, but the internal ones. The beliefs about your worth that are tied to your output. The difficulty slowing down without feeling like you're failing. The identity that's become so fused with productivity that you don't know who you are when you're not performing.

We'll work on untangling the patterns that drove you into burnout, rebuilding your relationship with rest and boundaries, and figuring out what a life that actually feels sustainable — and meaningful — looks like for you specifically. Not a generic version of wellness. Yours.

I use a combination of evidence-based approaches including CBT, EMDR, and parts work, tailored to what you're bringing in. Sessions are 45 minutes, warm, direct, and genuinely focused on change — not just coping.

What to expect when getting started

01

Free 15-minute consult call — A low-pressure conversation to talk about what's going on and whether working together makes sense. I'll answer any questions you have about the process.

02

First session: the full picture — We'll spend your first session mapping out your history and what's contributing to how you're feeling now. Burnout rarely comes from nowhere — we'll start understanding the whole story.

03

Weekly 45-minute sessions — Consistent sessions early on create momentum. You'll leave each session with something concrete — a shift in perspective, a tool to try, a pattern that makes a little more sense than it did before.

04

A life that actually feels like yours — The goal isn't just feeling less exhausted. It's building something that's genuinely sustainable — where you're not constantly running on fumes just to maintain the life you've built.
