Burnout Isn't a Personal Failure

Burnout isn't a sign of weakness; quite the opposite, it's your nervous system being stuck in overdrive.

Therapy can help you slow the cycle when you are running on empty, second-guessing everything, and wondering why rest never feels "earned," to rebuild a life that actually fits your values.

What Burnout Feels Like

Burnout impacts every part of you: body, mind, work, and relationships.
 
  • In your body, brain fog, muscle tension, headaches, poor sleep, or constant fatigue
  • In your mood: irritability, guilt, feeling "never enough," emotional numbness, or dread
  • At work or school: procrastination, perfectionism, over-functioning, or completely checking out
  • In relationships: short fuse, pulling away, or saying yes when you mean no
 
If these sound familiar, you're not alone-and you're not broken. Burnout is your body's way of saying something has to change. There's a steadier way forward.

How Therapy Helps with Burnout

Therapy is the space to learn, to reset, and to acquire newer ways of caring for yourself that really work. I use practical, evidence-based approaches tailored to your goals:
 

We pace the work so that healing is sustainable—not another thing to perfect or perform.

What Sessions Look Like (Telehealth)

We'll meet through secure video sessions from a private space you choose. Together, we'll:
  • Map your burnout cycle and identify early warning signs.
  • Create a short, flexible plan for daily recovery: sleep, focus, movement, genuine rest
  • Experiment with small, doable shifts that fit your real life—not an idealized version of it.

You'll try simple strategies we design together between sessions and take notice of what actually helps you to recharge.

How Long Does It Take?

Some clients come for focused skills work over 6–8 sessions, while others continue longer to untangle deeper patterns like perfectionism, people-pleasing, or chronic stress.
We’ll decide together what’s working best and adjust at your pace.

Who I Help Across Tennessee and Virginia

I work with adults in Johnson City, Kingsport, Bristol, and the Tri-Cities areas, as well as through secure telehealth across Tennessee and Virginia.

If burnout overlaps with
anxiety, trauma, or perfectionism, we can address those areas too—helping you recover in a way that’s both deep and sustainable.

FAQ

Is this the same as a workplace “burnout program”?
This is individualized therapy, not a generic class. We’ll target your patterns and build skills that fit your life.

Can therapy help if I can’t take time off?
Yes. We’ll focus on very small changes that protect energy now while planning bigger changes when possible.

Do you write notes for FMLA or medical leave?
When clinically appropriate, I can provide documentation for your healthcare team; we’ll discuss options together.

What if I’m too tired to keep up with homework?
Then we scale back. The point is relief, not another checklist.

How do I start?
Select Request an Appointment to schedule; you’ll receive secure intake forms and a Good Faith Estimate before we meet.
