BURNOUT THERAPY
As an Associate Marriage and Family Therapist, I’m dedicated to helping those in high-demand online professions find sustainable paths through burnout. I work with people facing the relentless pressures of staying “on” all the time—especially those in digital roles like marketing, program development, and content creation. These careers often demand a high level of presence, pushing individuals to keep up with trends, maintain a public persona, and meet a fast-paced output that can ultimately erode well-being. My goal is to guide clients toward balance, helping them reconnect with their values and sidestep the constant comparison trap that digital spaces often foster.
Through my structured six-week burnout program, I support clients in creating realistic boundaries, redefining their own metrics of success, and rebuilding a sense of agency and purpose. This program uses cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) techniques, updated with feminist theory and grounded in social justice values. I take a systemic approach, examining the social and cultural forces that contribute to burnout and helping clients challenge external pressures with a clearer view of their own power. This approach encourages clients to confront systemic sources of stress, whether those stem from societal expectations, workplace culture, or the personal impact of digital "always-on" demands.
In our work together, I’m committed to creating a safe, inclusive space where we can explore the complex impacts of burnout on mental health, identity, and future goals. With evidence-based practices informed by an understanding of power dynamics and personal autonomy, I’m here to support your journey back to a sustainable, fulfilling version of your life and work.
WHAT IS BURNOUT?
"Burnout" is a state of emotional, mental, and often physical exhaustion brought on by prolonged or repeated stress, most commonly in the workplace or due to caregiving or high-responsibility roles. It’s characterized by feelings of overwhelming exhaustion, cynicism or detachment from the job or task, and a sense of ineffectiveness or lack of accomplishment.
The term was originally coined in the 1970s by psychologist Herbert Freudenberger, who observed the condition in professionals in high-stress occupations, such as healthcare and social services.
