Stress and Burnout
Reclaim your energy, balance, and wellbeing
Burnout and chronic stress can creep into your life quietly—until suddenly you feel mentally drained, emotionally numb, and physically exhausted. Whether you’re overwhelmed at work, caring for others, or juggling multiple responsibilities, stress can begin to shape your entire experience of daily life. If you’re feeling depleted, irritable, or disconnected from yourself, stress management therapy can help you regain balance and feel grounded again.
As a Registered Psychotherapist, I support individuals facing burnout, emotional overload, compassion fatique, and ongoing workplace stress. You don’t have to push through this alone. Healing begins with understanding what’s happening in your mind and body—and having the tools to respond effectively.
What Is Stress Management?
Therapy for stress management focuses on helping you understand the root causes of your stress and develop healthy ways to cope. When stress becomes chronic, your nervous system stays stuck in overwhelm mode, leaving you exhausted, anxious, or easily triggered.
In therapy, we work together to:
- Understand your stress patterns
- Strengthen emotional resilience
- Identify personal and workplace triggers
- Learn calming and grounding skills
- Rebuild healthy routines and self-care habits
- Develop sustainable strategies for long-term well-being
Stress doesn’t have to control your life. With the right support, you can feel more capable, calm, and centered.
Workplace Stress Therapy
Support for professional burnout
Today’s work environments can be demanding – long hours, unrealistic expectations, constant communication, and high pressure. It’s no surprise that many people seek workplace stress therapy to help manage emotional overload and burnout.
Therapy can help you:
- Cope with performance pressure or perfectionism
- Navigate difficult workplace dynamics
- Learn to emotionally protect yourself from difficult (even narcissistic) supervisors or colleagues
- Reduce overworking and “always-on” habits
- Manage anxiety and overwhelm
- Rebuild confidence and healthy motivation
If you’re noticing irritability, emotional numbness, trouble concentrating, or exhaustion related to your job, workplace stress therapy provides essential support.
Exhaustion Therapy
Healing from mental & emotional overload
Burnout isn’t just being tired—it’s deep, persistent exhaustion that doesn’t improve with rest. Exhaustion therapy helps you understand what’s draining your energy and teaches you how to replenish it.
In these sessions, we focus on:
- Identifying hidden sources of emotional and mental fatigue
- Reconnecting with pleasure, rest, and meaning
- Healing patterns of over-responsibility
- Creating balance between giving and receiving
- Supporting your nervous system’s natural recovery process
Exhaustion is not a personal failure—it’s a sign your system needs care, boundaries, and support.
Boundary Setting
Essential for stress & burnout recovery
Healthy boundary setting is one of the most powerful ways to protect your time, energy, and emotional wellbeing. Many people burn out because they’ve been taught to say yes to everything—even when they’re overwhelmed.
In therapy, you’ll learn how to:
- Recognize when your boundaries are being crossed
- Say “no” without guilt or fear
- Prioritize your needs alongside others’
- Create work and personal boundaries that feel supportive
- Communicate limits clearly and kindly
Boundaries aren’t walls—they are tools that help protect your health and relationships.
Compassion Fatigue
When caring becomes overwhelming
If you’re a healthcare worker, emergency service , therapist, teacher, parent, or caregiver, you may be experiencing compassion fatigue – a form of emotional exhaustion that comes from caring deeply for others while neglecting your own needs.
Symptoms may include:
- Feeling numb or detached
- Reduced empathy or patience
- Loss of motivation
- Irritability, sadness, or overwhelm
- Difficulty recovering after emotionally heavy situations
Therapy can help you rebuild emotional resilience, reconnect with your purpose, and rediscover your capacity for empathy, without sacrificing your wellbeing.
Signs you may benefit from Stress or Burnout Therapy
You might consider stress management therapy if you’re:
- Constantly tired, even after rest
- Feeling anxious, irritable, or overwhelmed
- Having trouble focusing or making decisions
- Struggling to balance work and personal life
- Noticing physical symptoms like headaches or tension
- Feeling emotionally flat, detached, or discouraged
Burnout doesn’t mean you’re weak or failing, it means you’ve been strong for too long without enough support.
You deserve rest, ease, and support
