Therapy for Work Challenges and Burnout Recovery

Transform Workplace Stress Into Sustainable Change

If you're struggling with work-related stress, boundary challenges, or approaching burnout, I offer specialized burnout therapy designed for your unique challenges. Having navigated intense corporate environments myself and witnessed the demanding startup life firsthand, I understand the pressure you face, especially the difficulty of maintaining boundaries when work seems to demand everything from you.

Who I Work With

I specialize in supporting professionals in their 20s, 30s and 40s who are ready for transformative change. My clients are individuals in various careers navigating the complexities of modern life, whether that's managing relationships, family responsibilities, or personal goals alongside professional demands. You might be experiencing:
 

  • Boundary erosion between work and personal life

  • Chronic workplace stress that follows you home

  • Difficulty saying no to additional responsibilities or projects

  • Emotional exhaustion despite career success

  • Physical symptoms like chronic fatigue, frequent headaches, or sleep disruption

  • Overwhelming workload that never seems to end

  • Decreased motivation and productivity despite working longer hours

  • Strained personal relationships due to poor work boundaries

  • Anxiety or panic attacks in professional settings

  • Signs of burnout including cynicism, detachment, and loss of purpose


The World Health Organization recognizes burnout as an occupational phenomenon affecting mental health globally. If these challenges resonate with you, you're not alone, and more importantly, recovery is possible.

My Integrative Approach to Burnout Therapy

I view therapy as an integrative process that honors your complexity as a human being. My approach is grounded in a biopsychosocial framework, recognizing that your well-being emerges from the interplay between biology (nervous system and physical health), psychology (thoughts, emotions, beliefs), and social world (relationships, environment, workplace culture).
 
This isn't just talk therapy, it's about rewiring patterns that blur boundaries, re-patterning approaches to work that deplete you, and reimagining how you can excel professionally while maintaining healthy boundaries. I draw from the science of how mind, body, and nervous system work together, helping you understand not just what you think or feel, but how your system responds to workplace pressures and boundary violations.

Specialized Therapeutic Modalities

Internal Family Systems (IFS)

I guide you in understanding the different parts of yourself activated by work stress, the part that can't stop working, the perfectionist, the people-pleaser who says yes to everything, and the inner critic. Through IFS, we explore how these parts developed and why boundaries feel impossible to maintain. This approach helps you access your core Self, developing compassionate awareness of your internal system while addressing negative thought patterns that erode boundaries.

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) 

ACT helps you develop psychological flexibility to manage work stress while staying aligned with your values. Rather than fighting the discomfort of setting boundaries, you learn to tolerate others' disappointment while protecting your well-being. This commitment therapy approach is particularly effective for professionals caught between workplace demands and personal limits, helping establish sustainable work-life balance.

Relational Life Therapy (RLT)

Work challenges and boundary issues profoundly affect personal relationships. I help you identify how poor work boundaries impact your marriage and family life, while exploring how relationship dynamics influence your ability to set professional limits. For couples where one or both partners struggle with workplace burnout and boundary erosion, I provide frameworks that honor both careers while protecting the relationship.

Additional Modalities

My practice also incorporates Perinatal Mental Health support for professionals navigating parenthood alongside career demands, and offers Intensives for focused work when work stress demands rapid transformation.

What Makes My Practice Different

What Makes My Practice Different
 
Having personally navigated corporate intensity, motherhood, marriage, and witnessed the startup grind as a spouse, I understand workplace stress and boundary struggles intimately. I know what it's like when everyone needs something from you, when "no" feels impossible, and when work bleeds into every moment of personal life.
 
My burnout therapy specifically addresses workplace and boundary challenges:
 

  • Workplace isolation: Creating support systems when you can't be vulnerable at work

  • Boundary setting: Learning to say no without guilt or career damage

  • Workload management: Addressing perfectionism and unrealistic standards

  • Imposter syndrome: Managing self-doubt in professional roles

  • Decision fatigue: Preserving mental energy for what matters most

  • Work-home boundaries: Creating clear separations that protect personal life

  • Communication boundaries: Setting limits with colleagues and supervisors

  • Email and technology boundaries: Establishing sustainable availability


I consider how your body holds the stress of constant availability, how workplace pressure affects your nervous system, and what practical boundary strategies work in real corporate environments. This comprehensive approach addresses the unique mental health challenges of professionals who've lost themselves in their work.

Why Addressing Workplace Burnout and Boundaries Matters Now

Left untreated, workplace burnout and chronic boundary violations create cascading effects. Research shows professionals with poor boundaries face higher rates of major depressive disorder, relationship breakdown, and physical health conditions. The inability to set limits doesn't just affect you, it impacts your family, relationships, and long-term career sustainability.

​

Taking proactive steps through specialized burnout therapy isn't admitting weakness, it's demonstrating the self-awareness that defines professional excellence. By addressing boundary issues now, you model sustainable success for yourself and inspire healthier workplace cultures.
