Burnout & Anxiety
Sometimes, success feels empty.
On paper, your life looks great. You’ve been climbing that career ladder, meeting every deadline, and handling whatever comes your way. But inside, you’re running on fumes. After another long day, you collapse onto the couch, feeling utterly spent. It’s as if anxiety has become the constant background noise of your life.
You keep wondering: “Why do I feel so empty and on edge when I have so much?”
Perhaps part of you knows the answer. You work hard not just for the accolades, but because slowing down feels impossible. People depend on you at work and home; you’re the one who never drops the ball. Saying “no” feels out of the question – you measure your worth by your usefulness to others. So you push and push as your own needs get sidelined.
Outwardly, you’re successful, but inwardly, you feel disconnected, like you’re watching your life from afar. It’s lonely carrying this secret fatigue. You’re not broken or failing for feeling this way. It makes perfect sense: when you spend years ignoring your limits, your mind and body sound the alarm through burnout and anxiety.
Here’s a space to finally breathe.
Let me be your warm, curious guide during this time of exploration. Imagine a place where you can set down that heavy load, even for an hour – where you don’t always have to be the strong one. In our therapy sessions, that’s exactly what I offer. I provide a warm, nonjudgmental space where you can exhale and let the truth of your experience rise to the surface.
You won’t have to perform or have it all together here. You might worry about letting someone see your struggle, but fear not. I approach our time with genuine curiosity and compassion. I’ll invite all parts of you – the exhausted achiever, the anxious perfectionist, and the quiet inner self longing for rest – to be heard and accepted.
During our online sessions, you might be sitting in your home office or on your living room floor with a cup of tea, and together, we’ll create a sanctuary for your healing. I’m not here to judge or give you a pep talk to “just relax.” I’ll ask questions, yes, but gently. Sometimes, I might say something like, “I see your shoulders tensing as you talk about work – if you tune into that tension what does it bring up for you?” There’s no rush to answer; we’re just shining a kind light on the places you’ve been holding everything in.
Therapy with me is collaborative. I walk alongside you as we make sense of your experience and uncover what you truly need. Over time, this process can become a refuge – one hour a week where you have permission to focus on yourself.
Experience a shift from survival mode to vitality.
Burnout isn’t just in your head; it’s a whole-body experience. Constant stress has likely left your nervous system in high gear, perpetually in “fight or flight” mode even when you desperately need to rest.
Together, we’ll work to unwind that tension gently. I specialize in somatic psychotherapy, which means I’ll help you pay attention to the subtler signals your body sends you, not just your thoughts. As you describe a stressful project, for example, we might pause and notice the tightness in your chest or the knot in your stomach and see if any memories naturally arise as we explore it.
Acknowledging those sensations allows your nervous system to release some of the stress it’s been holding onto. In time, you can retrain your body to relax.
We’ll also explore the deeper patterns that may be driving your exhaustion. Sometimes burnout masks old wounds or beliefs like a fear of not being good enough or a people-pleasing habit that traces back to childhood. I’m trained in trauma-informed techniques that can help identify and heal the root causes of your anxiety. These approaches use the mind-body connection to process experiences that might be fueling your present-day stress.
It’s powerful, transformative work. You may find that after processing a core memory or long-held belief, the constant pressure inside you finally begins to ease. Bit by bit, therapy helps you shift out of survival mode. You learn to listen to your needs, set healthier boundaries, and find new ways to truly replenish yourself. The spark of motivation and joy you thought was lost can slowly return.
Picture the transformation.
Instead of dragging yourself through each day, you feel more present and alive. Mornings become a time of possibility again, not just a gauntlet of obligations.
You might still excel in your career, but now you can feel the satisfaction of your achievements instead of that hollow emptiness.
With a more balanced nervous system and a kinder inner voice, anxiety no longer quietly rules your life from the shadows. You begin to live in a way that honors your well-being as much as your responsibilities.
In short, you move from merely surviving to truly thriving.
Ready to reclaim your life?
You don’t have to keep pushing through exhaustion or remain in survival mode. It’s okay to seek support – you’ve been carrying this alone for too long. If anything here resonates with you, consider giving yourself space and care. You’ve shown up for everyone else; now it’s time to show up for yourself.
I invite you to text me to set up a free consultation. We can discuss what’s been going on and see if this deep, somatic approach is a good fit. There’s no pressure to commit to anything. It’s simply a chance to discuss how therapy might help and for you to ask any questions.
My practice is entirely online, so you can do this in your own space.
You’ve been so strong for everyone around you – now you deserve the chance to be heard and supported. When you’re ready, I’m here to help you find a calmer, more fulfilling path forward.
