Burnout

Many individuals I work with are experiencing personal or professional burnout. They often find themselves in roles where they are the helper or provider—at work, in personal responsibilities, or in other areas of life. These roles can lead to consistently prioritizing others’ needs over your own, whether that’s a person or a work setting.

Over time, burnout can show up in ways that feel heavy and persistent. You may notice feeling more irritable, fatigued, resentful, cynical, or hopeless. Sleep may be disrupted, and some people rely on food, alcohol, or other short-term strategies for relief. Because burnout often develops gradually, it can be hard to fully recognize, and people may feel stuck in the roles they occupy.

How Therapy Can Help:

Therapy can provide a space to explore these roles with curiosity and to notice the underlying emotions associated with them, such as fear of change, pressure, or uncertainty. We can look at how your identity may be intertwined with these roles and begin to establish a clearer sense of yourself apart from your responsibilities.

Together, we can explore ways to create boundaries that actually feel good and manageable, rather than adding more pressure. I understand how burnout develops slowly over time and the weight it can create, and I aim to support you in navigating these shifts with steadiness and clarity.
