Work Stress

Feel more enthusiasm, energy and purpose in your work…and your life.

People may describe you as successful, but you don’t necessarily feel that way.

Sure, you have the degree (or degrees) and the job title you wanted — but you didn’t expect it to come with all-consuming worry and stress. You’ve always been a bit of an over-achiever, but taking on more than you can handle (along with the crushing pressure of perfectionism, fear of failure, and seemingly insurmountable imposter syndrome) is leading you toward total burnout.

Still, you find yourself doing things you know are contributing to this exhaustion and keeping you stuck. Working late into the night, or on weekends or holidays. Feeling obligated to say “yes” when people ask things of you. Relying on food or wine as your sole source of joy on weekdays, and overdoing it at times. Procrastinating or not sleeping enough even though you know it never ends well.

Now, you’re having doubts about your career choices, even though you’ve worked so hard to get where you are today. But you’re unsure where to even begin with making a change — you wish you knew what to do or where to go next.

through therapy, you can stop overcommitting and start creating more balance in your career and your life.

Let's Talk

  • Gain a sense of direction and quiet the critical inner voice in your head that tries to tell you you’re not good enough.

  • Own the things you’re good at and learn to leverage them to fulfill your purpose.

  • Stand up for your best interests in the workplace and set boundaries to create more balance between your professional and personal lives.

  • Be able to set clear expectations and feel comfortable being honest about what you can and can’t do.

  • Know what you’re capable of, trust your choices, and make the commitment to keep learning so you can show up to work as your best self.

Therapy for work stress can help you:

my approach

Challenging you to start saying “no.”

But the work we do will go far beyond that. A lot of people might turn to a career or life coach when they’re struggling professionally, but therapy can go deeper than coaching in every way. Together, we’ll explore your past, address your present, and create a foundation upon which you can build a more vibrant future.

We’ll start by identifying some goals for your work life, your family life, and your inner life. Then, we’ll work to understand the difficulties you’re currently facing and find ways you can better deal with overwhelm and anxiety — and include self-care in your daily routines.

Next, we’ll start to make connections between what you’re struggling with now and what you experienced during childhood. Together, we’ll recognize patterns, challenge old beliefs and habits, and rewrite the script for the voice in your head to be more empowering and less critical. I’ll help you learn how to set and maintain boundaries, which may seem hard at first, but will get easier with practice.

Finally, we’ll shift our focus to the future. You’ll feel more connected to a sense of purpose and find an internal stability no one can take from you. Through this process, it’ll become clear that while you can’t always control life, you can feel in control of yourself. This mentality, along with the skills and perspectives you’ll gain, will set you up to feel truly fulfilled in both your professional and personal life moving forward. And in my experience, this shift often helps people find success in their careers beyond what they’d previously thought possible.

 Frequently Asked Questions

  • Work-life balance is more about feeling satisfied and fulfilled in both areas of your life rather than splitting your time evenly. It's about finding a balance that works for you, which might change depending on your job, personal life, and other factors. It's not always easy, but setting boundaries, prioritizing self-care, and making time for things outside of work can all help maintain that balance—and I’d be happy to support you through learning to do all that.

  • Maintaining work-life balance involves setting boundaries, prioritizing tasks, and making time for activities that bring you joy and relaxation outside of work. It's about finding a rhythm that works for you and recognizing when adjustments need to be made. However, creating this balance can be difficult when you’ve gotten used to overextending yourself—which is why therapy can be a helpful tool when you know you need a change but aren’t sure where to start.

  • Burnout can occur when you're feeling emotionally drained, overwhelmed, and unable to meet constant demands. Recovery involves taking steps to reduce stress, setting boundaries, and prioritizing self-care. It's also important to address any underlying issues contributing to burnout, whether it's workload, workplace culture, or personal factors. We can do all of this and find a path toward feeling better together in therapy.

No matter what you do, work won’t love you back.

It’s time to show yourself the love and compassion you’re lacking.
