Workplace Stress & Burnout Therapy
Work can be meaningful, but it can also become a significant source of stress. Constant demands, high expectations, workplace conflict, caregiving responsibilities, and difficulty disconnecting from work can gradually lead to emotional and physical exhaustion. Over time, chronic workplace stress may affect your mental health, relationships, sleep, confidence, and overall quality of life.
Therapy provides a space to better understand the factors contributing to stress and burnout while developing practical strategies that support emotional well-being, resilience, and a healthier relationship with work.
Common Reasons People Seek Therapy
Workplace stress and burnout can develop for many reasons, including:
Feeling emotionally or physically exhausted by work
Difficulty disconnecting from work after hours
Increased anxiety related to work responsibilities
Chronic stress that never feels like it goes away
Compassion fatigue or caregiver burnout
Workplace conflict or difficult professional relationships
Leadership responsibilities or decision fatigue
High-pressure or high-responsibility careers
Career transitions or uncertainty about your professional future
Feeling overwhelmed despite working harder than ever
Difficulty maintaining a healthy work-life balance
Perfectionism, imposter syndrome, or fear of making mistakes
Burnout does not always look like complete exhaustion. Sometimes it shows up as irritability, decreased motivation, difficulty concentrating, emotional numbness, increased self-doubt, or feeling disconnected from work that once felt meaningful.
My Approach
Workplace stress is rarely caused by a single factor. Together, we'll explore how your work environment, responsibilities, personal values, coping patterns, relationships, and nervous system responses interact to influence your well-being.
Therapy is individualized and focuses on helping you build practical skills while identifying realistic changes that support both your mental health and your professional life.

Clarify your values, strengthen psychological flexibility, and make decisions that support both your career and overall well-being.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)
