Individual Therapy for Burnout

Evidence-based interventions to disengage from exhausting and unproductive habits and refocus on what gives your life meaning
Success doesn't have to be this tiring

 

​

  • ​If you feel emotionally drained, exhausted, or numb​

  • It's difficult to drag yourself out of bed in the morning

  • You notice yourself relying on little dopamine hits just to get through the day - a coffee, a new email, an updated news story

  • You love your family and friends, but you'd do anything for some time away

  • You are less interested in activities that usually feel engaging and fun

  • You are more irritable than usual, even without a clear trigger

  • You have to force yourself accomplish tasks that you usually find fulfilling

​

You are likely experiencing burnout.

 

Don't waste more time trying to convince yourself that these experiences are just the cost of modern life.

Go from exhausted to engaged

When you've spent your whole life working hard, it can feel like burnout is just another obstacle to push through.

​

But burnout isn't a symptom of success - it's a barrier.

​Achievement isn’t about slogging through a neverending to do list. It’s about living a life that is meaningful to you.

 

I work with high achievers who are tired of the grind. 

​

As a licensed clinical psychologist with my own experiences of pursuing 'fancy' degrees and 'impressive' titles, I know what it's like to realize that you want your life to be about more than your CV.

 

I use Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help you engage differently with your responsibilities and build a life that feels energizing, fulfilling, and unique to what actually matters to you.
