You’re still getting everything done.
But it’s costing you.

You lead meetings, answer messages, and keep showing up. Then you get home and have nothing left. If you're exhausted from being the person everyone relies on, therapy can be a place to focus on you.

Burnout therapy · Virginia, Maryland & Florida

Burnout isn’t something you fix
with better productivity.

When you’ve been pushing through for too long, another planner, productivity system, or weekend off isn’t necessarily enough.

Burnout can affect how you think, feel, work, relate to other people, and experience yourself. You may still be getting everything done while privately feeling exhausted, irritable, anxious, disconnected, or like you’re running on empty.

Therapy gives us space to understand what’s keeping you in that cycle — and develop practical ways to change it without simply adding another task to your list.

"You need more than a vacation. You need to rebuild -- at the level of how you think, what you value, and how you move through the world."

I work with professionals, executives, caregivers, and high-performing adults who are used to managing everything. Therapy gives you a place to be honest about what is actually happening, understand the patterns driving the depletion, and build something more sustainable than willpower.

Signs you may recognize

Burnout does not always look
like breaking down.

01

Exhaustion that sleep does not fix

You rest, but you do not recover. The tiredness is underneath everything, and you cannot remember the last time you felt genuinely okay.

02

Cynicism or detachment

Things that used to matter feel hollow. You are going through the motions at work, in relationships, in activities you chose because you loved them.

03

Anxiety without a clear cause

A low-grade dread that is hard to pin down. Something feels wrong even when nothing specific is wrong. You cannot quite turn your brain off.

04

Loss of identity

You have been so focused on performance and productivity that you are not sure who you are outside of what you produce. Taking a break feels dangerous.

05

Difficulty with decisions

Cognitive fatigue shows up as indecision, forgetfulness, and an inability to think clearly about things that used to come easily.

06

Physical symptoms

Chronic stress lives in the body. Headaches, sleep disruption, stomach issues, and getting sick more often than usual can all be signs that you’ve been carrying too much for too long.

How therapy helps

Practical support for getting out
and staying out.

Burnout therapy is not about learning to relax. It is about understanding what drove you here, changing the patterns that sustain it, and building a relationship with yourself and your work that does not require burning out again in two years.

I use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), and Solution-Focused Brief Therapy (SFBT). Sessions are direct and practical. You will leave with things you can actually use. All sessions are virtual, available across Virginia, Maryland, and Florida.

Free 15–30-minute consultation available

You do not have to keep
pushing through alone.

Virtual therapy across Virginia, Maryland and Florida. Private pay. HSA and FSA accepted.

How burnout therapy can help in everyday life

Therapy is more than having a place to talk. Together, we identify what matters most to you and practice skills you can use in everyday life.

Recognize stress patterns earlier

Identify the demands and habits that keep you depleted before reaching another breaking point.

Set boundaries you can maintain

Practice saying no, protecting recovery time, and navigating expectations at work and home.

Reconnect with what matters

Build coping tools and make room for rest, relationships, and a sense of purpose beyond productivity.

How we work: We collaborate on goals, check regularly on what is and is not helping, and adjust our approach as your needs change. Progress might mean recovering more quickly from setbacks, communicating more clearly, or feeling more confident in difficult moments.

These are possible benefits of therapy, not promises of particular results. Your experience and goals are individual.
