Burnout, Anxiety, and Perfectionism
therapy for professionals
You're the one who holds it together. People count on you, you deliver, and from the outside it looks handled, even when it doesn't feel that way underneath. Therapy is a place to put that down for a minute and ask what you actually want, not just how to keep it all running.
areas of focus
Burnout
& transitions
Rest without the guilt. Some careers just ask for everything, the hours, the travel, the always-on. And stopping feels almost irresponsible, like you haven't earned it yet. We work on embracing rest that doesn’t need to be earned.
Success that feels like yours. You got the things you worked for, and somehow you're wondering, is this it? You're not broken. You're curious. Some of the best work starts right here.
A self that outlasts the title. A layoff, a reorg, new motherhood, a sick parent. When your work is central to who you are, a change can shake more than your schedule.
Anxiety, Perfectionism,
& achievement trauma
An off switch. You're lying awake at 3am, checking email on vacation, running at a low hum that never quite powers down. A lot of the work is helping your body believe it's actually safe to slow down.
Relief from constant rumination. The second guessing, the mind-reading, the conversations you replay on the drive home. You read as confident, but most people would never guess what it costs you mentally.
Letting go of control. If you don't do it, you're sure it won't get done right, so you carry all of it and end up overcommitted and quietly resentful. We can work on what it takes to actually share the load.
A finish line that stops moving. Nothing ever feels quite done. You polish what was already fine, catch the one flaw no one else would notice, and the bar inches up the moment you reach it. Part of the work is letting "good enough" actually count, and finding peace with imperfection.
Shedding imposter syndrome. However much you achieve, part of you is braced to be found out, and somehow each promotion makes that feeling louder, not quieter. We can look at where that fear comes from, and what it would mean to trust what you've built.
Worth beyond output. Achievement trauma is what happens when approval only ever came through performance: the A, the win, the promotion became how you earned love and safety. Producing turned into how you prove you're allowed to take up space, and maybe your upbringing reinforced it again and again. You'd never speak to anyone else the way you speak to yourself.
