Therapy for Anxiety, Depression & Burnout

Something isn't working anymore.

Maybe you're still showing up. You answer the emails, take care of what needs doing, and set your feelings aside because there isn't time for them. Then, when you're finally alone, you cry.

Maybe you're anxious most of the time, replaying conversations and bracing for a mistake, even when nothing seems wrong.

Or maybe getting through the day takes everything you have. The things you used to enjoy, like baking on the weekend or getting outside for a hike, don't feel like much of anything now. Some days you don't feel much at all. Just tired, flat, or numb.

Wherever you are in that, you're tired of feeling this way. That's enough reason to reach out.

Everyone's version of this is different.

Anxiety, depression, and burnout can look alike from the outside, and sometimes they feel alike from the inside, too. But they show up differently for everyone, and the impact is real. They can touch your work, your relationships, your sleep, your body, and the way you see yourself.

So I don’t start with a formula. We’ll begin with what you’re experiencing now: how you’re sleeping, what’s weighing on you, what a hard day looks like. I won’t assume the cause is somewhere in your past. If older patterns turn out to be part of it, we’ll find that out together.

There's rarely just one cause.

Sometimes what you're feeling is connected to past experiences, or to the ways you learned to cope. And sometimes other things are part of the picture:

• Chronic health conditions, hormones, or changes in medication

• Sleep, or a lack of it

• Grief and loss

• Big life changes, even good ones

• Work conditions, caregiving, or parenting demands

• A season of life that has simply asked more than you have

I take your body seriously as part of this. If you just got bloodwork back or changed a medication, that matters here, and sometimes I'll encourage a check-in with your doctor or other health providers.

For some people, anxiety or depression is tied to longstanding patterns of adapting to others or feeling responsible for keeping everything steady, which I write about on my relational trauma page. For others, it’s connected to feeling things more deeply than the people around them.

Burnout doesn't always announce itself.

It can come from work, caregiving, parenting, or a long stretch of carrying too much. Sometimes it feels sudden, even when it's been building quietly for a long time.

Often there's another layer: frustration or shame that you can't do what you used to. Therapy can be a place to understand what's changed and what you actually have capacity for now, instead of pushing yourself to keep going the same way.
