Individual therapy for adults navigating burnout
You’ve been holding so much for so long and it’s starting to wear you down.
Maybe you’re feeling:
Disconnected from the people around you—even in close relationships, it’s like there’s a wall you can’t break through.
Overwhelmed by responsibility, always racing the clock with too much on your plate and never enough time.
Exhausted from juggling and comparing, yet still feeling like you're falling behind.
Alone in the effort, like no one really sees how hard you’re working just to keep it all together.
What you truly want is:
To feel at ease in your own life, able to breathe without pressure.
To show up authentically in your relationships, without performing or pretending.
To feel grounded and confident, trusting that you're exactly where you're meant to be.
More connection, more clarity, more peace.
Therapy can be the space where that begins—a space to untangle the overwhelm, rediscover your voice, and start creating a life that actually feels like yours.
Individual therapy is a collaborative process where we’ll work together to explore your inner world, identify patterns that no longer serve you, and create meaningful change. You’ll learn to understand and shift over-functioning habits—like constantly putting others first or equating your worth with productivity—while also addressing the root of attachment wounds that may be shaping how you relate to others.
Your sessions provide a safe space to process and manage symptoms of depression and anxiety, offering tools for regulation, clarity, and self-compassion. Over time, you’ll be able to release the weight of external pressures and reconnect with your own needs, values, and voice—so you can live from a place that feels more grounded and true to who you are.
