Burnout

We will learn different coping skills that are unique to each individual.

Burnout doesn’t even begin to describe what some folks are going through. I suggest that we are not facing a “shortage” of workers, but rather a resistance from people who are able to put up with exploitative systems. We need a reckoning; a reimagining. Let's explore creative next steps to go from exploited to thriving.

Burnout is a distinctly work-related phenomenon that can be related to depression, anxiety, and other conditions, but is often overlooked or misunderstood. While working at an organization suffering from a high level of employee burnout, I delved into the research of this topic and created an initiative to identify, measure, prevent, and treat burnout. In our work together, we can consider if this is an issue in your life and I can give you tools to address it.

Burnout can lead you to feel like you’re constantly treading water. You’re trying so hard, yet continue to feel stuck & exhausted. I’m here to help you find relief from burnout & build strategies to support yourself from getting stuck there in the future.

I have helped numerous clients find peace again in their lives after experiencing burnout and compassion fatigue. By finding methods of working through these issues such as mindfulness practices, self-compassion and various other methods of identifying self-care plans, and identifying work-life balance, I can help you get your life back on track again and rediscover a whole new quality to life!

Stress and burnout is at an all-time high. Together we'll help you recalibrate your inner compass so you can move towards a life that honors what's most important to you. I'll help you develop strategies and skills to manage your stress and burnout so you can feel like yourself again. We'll clarify your core values so you can be more intentional about how your invest your time and energy. You'll also gain stills so you can feel more grounded and whole.

I'll help you figure out how to be resentful about work again, leave the stress of the job at the office, and be present with your partner so you can finally start to enjoy your life.

School, work, parenting, family, friends, finances, obligations, obligations, obligations! It can be too much! Life can sometimes turn into just waiting for the weekend or for that one day off to get chores done and a little, anxiety-filled rest. This is not sustainable. In sessions we can talk about your burnout symptoms and look for ways to feel better and more excited about each day. Even if those obligations cannot be reduced, we can look for ways to get through them without dread.

Working within hospital systems for the majority of my clinical experience has provided me with opportunities to provide therapy to employees who experience high levels of burnout. Whether you are in need of a complete career change to escape a toxic work environment or you need to make changes to create more balance in your life while staying at your current job, I can help.

During the pandemic I worked alongside my medical colleagues in overburdened hospital systems. I am acutely aware that healthcare providers, high achievers, caregivers and front line staff are exposed to vicarious trauma on a daily basis. Many of us feel more than simply burned out – we are experiencing moral injury. We feel listless, numb, disengaged, and drained. I understand the isolation of this experience and have both lived the experience and trained in skills to help.

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.

Let's be real here, life is fucking stressful. From work, to families, to relationships, and everything in between, it is easy to get caught up obsessing over productivity. In a system that values overwork, it can be incredibly difficult to find balance. I am here to help you find that place where you can be both productive and at peace. It's tough, but it is possible!

Have you worked hard to have a career you're passionate about only to find yourself burned out and resentful? Burnout involves feelings of emotional exhaustion, cynicism, and reduced feelings of accomplishment. While all people are prone to burnout, helping professionals are especially vulnerable. It is vitally important for those in jobs that involve healing to cultivate a discipline of hope and renewable "fuel" for our work.

Coping with unreasonable expectations and feelings of overwhelm in the workplace; restoring energy, balance, and motivation.

Burnout is by its nature and overwhelming and isolating experience that often leaves people pointing the blame finger at themselves and feeling like failures. I have found that narrative approaches to shift the blame off the self and on to the actual nature of the problem as well as finding new and sustainable ways to provide self care to be effective in burnout recovery and prevention.

Usually we choose our jobs because we enjoy something about it. Burnout takes that joy, and dulls it, until we lose our passion and drive, and just feel drained and exhausted. It's a slow process, that leaves us suddenly realizing we have to change something, but left unsure what happened and what to change. When we work on burnout through therapy, we explore what's causing this feeling, and how we can create changes in meaningful and long-term ways.

Burnout is a common, deeply human experience often born from a desire to exceed our limits and push through challenges. This drive, rooted in survival and growth, can lead us to disconnect and detach to get the job done. I help clients find balance while honoring these instincts, reducing the stigma and shame of burnout. Together, we work to restore your energy and reconnect with a life that aligns with your values and well-being.
