Therapy for Stress and Burnout

---

We’re living in a world that asks more from us than ever before. More productivity, more resilience, and more self-sufficiency, often with fewer resources and less support. Whether it’s the pressure of work, caregiving responsibilities, or the weight of simply existing in today’s world, chronic stress can take a toll on our nervous systems. Burnout isn’t just about working too hard - it’s about the systems that push us beyond our limits.

Stress is the body’s response to demands, activating our nervous system to manage short-term challenges. But when stress becomes chronic, it can lead to burnout - a state of emotional, physical, and mental exhaustion. Burnout isn’t just about feeling tired; it’s the result of prolonged exposure to unmanageable stress, leaving you feeling depleted, detached, and unable to function as you once did.

Personal stressors, like relationship ruptures, difficult workplace dynamics, or health challenges, can compound this exhaustion. And for many, the strain of navigating adult relationships with emotionally immature parents adds another layer of stress. When parents lack emotional depth or maturity, we may feel trapped in childhood patterns like people-pleasing, walking on eggshells, or struggling to assert boundaries. This can leave us feeling drained, guilty, or stuck in cycles we desperately want to break. We specialize in helping clients untangle these patterns, build self-trust, and establish healthier ways of relating.

Our approach to stress and burnout goes beyond self-care tips. We take a systems perspective, recognizing how capitalism, caregiving, and societal pressures impact your well-being. Therapy helps you explore the root causes of your stress, develop strategies that support your nervous system, and reconnect with yourself in a way that fosters long-term resilience.
