Burnout

It happens to the best of us. Whether it's work, family, kids, aging parents, struggling partners, or just existing in this world, it happens. It's not a sign of failure, a lack of empathy, or that you are a "bad" person if you just stop caring. Sometimes we need a reset. I help clients step back from their situation, reframe negative thoughts, find joy, and set boundaries

Sacrificing your own needs for others, for too long, can put you on the road to burnout. This is especially prevalent for visionaries, leaders, big-hearted helpers, and social services workers. These roles require self-care and boundaries that can feel selfish and often get neglected. Learn to put parameters around your help, manage vicarious trauma and compassion fatigue, AND stay in alignment with your values to decrease your risk for burnout. Take care of yourself - so you can help others.

For high achievers and perfectionists who are constantly reaching for success, it can be hard to find a balance between ambition and well-being. You may feel like you are always in pursuit of a goal but struggle to allow yourself to celebrate when you get there (or find yourself constantly moving the goal post). We understand the unique challenges you face and are committed to helping you thrive in both your personal and professional pursuits through our evidence-based approaches.

As a therapist, I help individuals experiencing burnout regain balance and restore their sense of purpose. Together, we’ll identify the sources of your stress, develop effective coping strategies, and help you find fulfillment again in both your personal and professional life.

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 may also explore boundary setting and other workplace skills, as well as taking time for yourself: therapy is that first step.

Experiencing a chronic high-level of unmanaged stress in your workplace or occupation (think balance in home/family management) is unfortunately not uncommon. Fortunately, if you allow yourself the time to look at the big picture with me, I know we can find some changes to make for your life to feel better overall. Sometimes this is in the small changes, and other times in much bigger ones, which might have felt too overwhelming before but I hope to support you in making it more realistic.

I have been through burnout myself and found a way to work through the issue. We must work on balance in our life to include play and creativity. I can help with finding ways to balance your life and learn to say "no" when necessary. Burnout is a big problem in this country and we have prioritized work over connection with others, remembering to play and finding creative outlets.

Burnout is REAL! We have all experienced it at one point or another. I believe that burnout occurs due a multitude of things like lack of self care, poor boundary setting, hyper independence, etc. We can work together to figure out what the cause of your burnout is and work on making behavioral changes to address it.

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.

Burnout often leaves you feeling depleted, overwhelmed, and disconnected from what once brought you joy. I help clients navigate the emotional and physical toll of burnout by addressing its root causes and creating space for restoration. Together, we’ll explore how overcommitment, perfectionism, or chronic stress impacts your well-being and identify new ways to foster balance and self-compassion. My goal is to help you reclaim your energy, purpose, and a sense of fulfillment.

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.

You feel depleted. Your personal life and/or your health is suffering because you work all the time. You may be feeling jaded, cynical or hopeless in regards to your job. You are not doing the kind of work that you are capable of and you may feel like you just want to quit.

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.

Many of my clients live or work in highly stressful environments. For example, they may have careers in helping professions or in the corporate world.

As we've all been learning the last two years, the world is a wild place. For neurodiverse people living in a capitalist society, burnout is pretty much a guarantee, especially if you haven't been equipped with tools and systems that work for YOU. A big impact of long-term burnout is dissociation from the body. In our work together, we will help you reconnect with your body and restructure your life in such a way that you don't have to betray your limits to feel successful and fulfilled.

So often the patterns we developed to survive or thrive as kids can lead to outcomes in our adult lives where we are giving too much or in directions that aren't feeding us. The demands of the world are large in this hectic digital age. It can all use more energy that we have. I help people identify who they are and how they can align their life to be an embodiment of themselves. Finding where our boundaries need to be and healing the patterns that keep us from being able to holding them there.

With experience, training, and certification as a Compassion Fatigue Professional and a yoga teacher, Katherina brings to mental health, teachers, and healthcare providers tools and knowledge to maximize staying power in the helping profession. These workshops offer an opportunity to begin or continue the conversation about the emotional and physical cost of helping others who are hurt. We learn compassion fatigue is normal; we can heal with support, knowledge, and a self-compassion plan.

There is little to no time for the things that you enjoy doing. You are afraid that if you say “no” to work or to the people in your life, you are letting them down. You often feel responsible for other’s emotional reactions, trying to smooth things over. You walk on eggshells and are so focused on not upsetting anyone that you constantly second guess yourself. You spend a lot of time feeling guilty.

Managing and recovering from stressors that lead to feelings of decreased motivation and disconnection from the self; practicing effective self-care and finding ways to relax both physically and mentally.
