Burnout

Feeling overwhelmed, exhausted, or unsure if it's burnout, depression, or something else? I understand how challenging it can be to navigate these feelings alone. Together, we will explore the root causes of your burnout, including the pressures from systems demanding relentless productivity. With compassion and understanding, we'll identify what led you here and work on nurturing your resilience. My goal is to help you rediscover balance, create sustainable practices, and prevent future burnout

I work with first responders, active duty military, veterans, and their families. We can work to build a tool chest of coping skills to increase your resiliency and improve your overall quality of 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'll also work on boundary setting and other workplace skills, as well as taking time for yourself: and therapy is that first step.

Burn Out Counseling helps you rise above your challenges and start moving towards your ideal life with less less confusion and more confidence. You will adopt the new mindset you need to prioritize yourself so you can take care of you and know what you want and have the confidence to go after it. I've helped adults, whose life is "perfect on paper" but know something is missing, to identify what is holding them back from living a life they love. They make BIG knowing that they are not "too much"

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!

Burnout is a state of physical or emotional exhaustion (or both) that also involves a sense of reduced accomplishment and loss of personal identity. It's important to note that solutions to burnout often involve changes in the external world and working environment. From a therapy standpoint, I work with burnout by helping clients identify the changes they would like to see, reconnect with purpose and meaning, establish healthy boundaries, and use adaptive coping strategies.

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.

Burnout is a distinctly work-related phenomenon that can be related to depression, anxiety, and other conditions, but is often overlooked or misunderstood. While working at an organization suffering from a high level of employee burnout, I delved into the research of this topic and created an initiative to identify, measure, prevent, and treat burnout. In our work together, we can consider if this is an issue in your life and I can give you tools to address it.

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.

Burnout is a serious condition that can lead to physical and emotional exhaustion. Working in the medical field for over 30 years, I understand the unique challenges that can contribute to burnout, especially in demanding occupations. By addressing burnout proactively, we can help you regain your energy, motivation, and overall well-being.

Working within hospital systems for the majority of my clinical experience has provided me with opportunities to provide therapy to employees who experience high levels of burnout. Whether you are in need of a complete career change to escape a toxic work environment or you need to make changes to create more balance in your life while staying at your current job, I can help.

Burnout is a mental, physical, and emotional state that looks like a mix of depression and anxiety. Some of the most common forms of burnout are pandemic fatigue, work burnout, parenting burnout, caregiving fatigue, and compassion fatigue. I am trained in multiple therapies and approaches to support burnout recovery and burnout resistance.

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.

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.

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.

Burnout is often used to describe toxic job environments and how an employee is feeling. However, burnout at our job is not the only place we experience it. We can experience burnout with: family relationships, parenting, social media, news/media, pandemic, non-family relationships, healthcare, helping and giving to others. I specialize with BIPOC professionals in managing burnout and how to approach it with self-compassion and action.

Burnout is often associated with prolonged stress in the workplace, but I apply this term also to relationships, personal goals, school & burnout related to neurodiversity & sensory burnout. Once one is in burnout we feel emotionally unwell, psychologically stuck & physically exhausted. It is challenging to find our way out once we are at this point. I help clients to acknowledge burnout & begin to address stress & the build-up of prolonged stress or exposure to toxic environments.
