Burnout Therapy for Pennsylvania

You are still showing up. Still answering the emails, carrying the team, remembering everyone's appointments. From the outside, it looks like you are handling it. On the inside, you are running on fumes.

That is what burnout usually looks like. Not a dramatic collapse, but a slow wearing down that makes everything feel heavier than it should.

Burnout Is Information, Not Failure

Burnout is not a sign that you are weak or doing life wrong. It is a signal that something in the way you are living, working or caring for others is costing more than it gives back. In our work together, we look at what that signal is telling you: which expectations you have been carrying, which roles you never chose, and what needs to change so you can feel like yourself again.

For nearly thirty years, I have worked with professionals who are exhausted by the very things they are good at. Together we slow down the pattern, regulate your nervous system, and build a way of working and living that does not require you to disappear.

How I Work

Sessions blend talk therapy with Brainspotting, a brain-body approach that helps you process stress the mind alone cannot reach. I also draw on CBT, mindfulness, somatic work and shame resilience as a Certified Daring Way™ Facilitator. Many clients begin with the free Freedom Compass™ quiz to see where they are right now.

Burnout often travels with perfectionism, imposter syndrome and compassion fatigue, and I work with all of them.
