Stress & Burnout Therapy

“You can do anything, but not everything.”

– David Allen, Productivity Consultant

Does it feel like you’re doing everything, but it’s still not enough?

You don’t remember the last time you felt like you had a free moment. Your days have become a string of tasks and to-do lists that you’re somehow always running behind on.

You’re piling on responsibilities, overcompensating because you don’t feel good enough. You’re torn between feeling angry for running yourself into the ground and guilty for pretending to be someone you’re not.

You’re working harder than ever, but you still feel like a fraud. You fill your calendar to run from your own low self-worth, but you can’t seem to run fast enough. All you really want is for someone to know, love, and accept the real you.

The real you deserves the spotlight.

What if you didn’t have to hide behind who you wish you were, because your true self felt good enough?

The self-criticizing voice in your head is quieter. The weight of tasks and obligations isn’t quite so heavy on your shoulders. You have time to breathe.

Imagine waking up to a fulfilling plan for the day: time for work, relationships, family, self-care, and downtime, all without falling behind.

You’re spending less time on work, but you’re more proud of the work you’re doing, because you have the energy to go all in with enthusiasm while you’re there. You can take a whole day for yourself without feeling guilty, because you actually believe you deserve it.

You know you’re capable of anything. Why not choose how to use that superpower to create the life you’ve dreamed of?

Let’s get you bouncing back against burnout.  

We’ll support you in regaining control of your life.

Instead of constantly having to prove yourself, we’ll find the balance that comes when your life truly fulfills you — no external validation needed.

Personal growth, healing, success, and the life of your dreams don’t need to come at the expense of your peace.

Let’s work together to turn your chaos into calm and feel empowered about the life you’ve chosen. Because let’s face it, a life ruled by stress and burnout doesn’t feel like much of a life at all.

Who this type of therapy is for:

→ You’ve got big dreams, you’re ambitious, and got a lot on the go…but the stress of balancing it all is making you lose your passion for the things you loved.  

→ You’re craving balance and want to pursue your goals sustainably, without sacrificing your well-being in the process.  

→ You’re working hard, but the results feel more like the bare minimum. Productivity is at an all-time low because you can barely concentrate with all the static in your brain.

→ You’re feeling cynical, exhausted, detached, and uncaring — how could you possibly have the energy to care with everything going on in your life?

→ You’ve noticed headaches, stomach aches, sleep issues, and tense muscles that don’t have a clear physical cause. Yup, burnout just might be the culprit!
