Burnout

If you struggle with burnout, you may experience feelings such as exhaustion, detached emotions, hopelessness, and disengagement. Additionally you may feel an emotional toll, depression, and a loss of motivation. These feelings are not normal for you and your tolerance for them is gone.

It's like your brain has stopped working. You have so much to do, but sometimes it just switches off and you realize you’ve been staring at your computer screen for 20 minutes. You’re constantly exhausted, and can’t understand how everyone else is keeping all these balls in the air! What’s wrong with me? Is it ADHD? Burnout? Maybe just existential dread? You’re not alone; Capitalism is a harsh mistress. I can’t fix the world, but I can help you learn how to cope, and how to recharge your brain!

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.

We all feel burnt out at some point. Burnout can happen with school, jobs, and relationships. Together, we can explore how this sensation feels and how it got to this point. You are not alone in this feeling.

Burnout is what happens when we have been stressed for too long...what happens when we are emotionally exhausted, when we feel completely depleted of empathy, concern or compassion, and when we feel nothing we do will make any difference. When we dread going into work, then come home and have to check out. It can be lack of motivation, resentment towards out work or work environment, and can look like anxiety. But it's possible to recover from it, and make sure it doesn't happen again.

Burnout happens when you've reached a state of complete exhaustion, mentally, emotionally, or physically. It's accompanied by a lack of drive or motivation, and when it's really bad - feelings of depression and hopelessness. Burnout is hard to muscle your way through since the reason it's finally arrived at your doorstep is because you HAVE been muscling your way through. It's just that it isn't working anymore.

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.

Sometimes, burnout can feel like a dark tunnel with no end in sight. But here's the thing - it doesn't have to be this way. With my professional expertise and data-backed strategies, I can help guide you out of this tunnel. Together, we'll explore your stressors, identify coping mechanisms, and develop a personalized plan to restore balance in your life.

You want to feel peaceful and content, but instead you are: overwhelmed by stress, totally burned out, and questioning if you will ever feel the rewards from your career as you once did. Each day feels like you are being stretched a bit thinner and you wonder how much you have left to give. Life doesn’t have to go on this way. It is my mission to provide scientifically informed psychotherapy for women experiencing professional burnout without sacrificing compassion and genuine concern.

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.

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.

As a fellow helper, I know the importance and necessity in burnout prevention. That is why I have a special interest in supporting other helpers in managing their careers and taking care of themselves. As I always say - you cannot pour from an empty cup - and you cannot be the best helper you can be if you aren't taking care of YOU. Helpers may include educators, teachers, nurses, doctors, first responders, care givers, police and firefighters, and therapists.

I have niche experience working with medical professionals such as physicians, nurses and medical trainees and directed a program at UNMC aimed at understanding burnout.

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

Burnout is one of the most pervasive issues in our over-functioning society. And it often comes at a costly expense to us. Maybe you're a burnout worker bee, maxed out parent, overwhelmed caregiver, or stressed student and need a place that will hold space for you without judgment and shame. Therapy can be beneficial in understanding how to slow down and notice how far we are pushing ourselves. Therapy is the guardrail on the road of our endeavors, keeping us safe before burnout crashes us!

Burnout - like everything else - shows up differently for different people. This can look like irritability, overwhelm, emotional exhaustion, and reduced interest or motivation. Or maybe you’re just tired of the status quo and are ready to shake things up, both in your career and your personal life. Together we’ll get to know how burnout looks for you and build on your existing strengths (yes, you have them!) to move through the ‘stuckness’ burnout can bring on.Item description

Ever feel like everything is just too much? Not getting as much done as you used to? Nothing feels worth it anymore? You may be experiencing burnout. Recognizing what's happening is a critical first step, and then working on balancing work and life--and giving yourself permission to do that--is important. We'll also work on boundary setting and other workplace skills, as well as taking time for yourself: and therapy is that first step.
