Burnout

Burnout doesn’t always look like falling apart—it can look like holding it all together on the outside while quietly running on fumes. You might feel numb, heavy, irritable, or like you’ve lost your spark. The things that used to energize you now feel like just one more thing to get through. Rest doesn’t help. Motivation is gone. And it’s getting harder to pretend you’re okay. 

Burnout can show up as:

• Feeling emotionally flat but constantly overstimulated.

• Pushing through the day on autopilot.

• Brain fog, forgetfulness, or simple tasks suddenly feeling impossible.

• Dragging yourself out of bed, even after a full night’s sleep.

• Avoiding texts, emails, or anything that requires energy or decision-making.

• Craving escape, but not knowing what would actually help.

Burnout often happens when you’ve been overriding your needs for too long—whether that’s in work, caregiving, relationships, or just trying to be everything for everyone. It’s not a personal failure. It’s a signal from your body and nervous system that something needs attention.

In therapy, we make space for that. We start by tending to the part of you that’s been carrying so much—without pressure to “fix” anything right away. 

We’ll slow down, listen to what your body’s been trying to say, and gently reconnect with your needs, your limits, and your sense of self underneath the overwhelm.

Burnout doesn’t mean you’re broken. It means you’ve been trying, probably really hard, in a way that hasn’t felt sustainable. 

Let’s find a pace—and a way of living—that doesn’t cost you your wellbeing.
