Work stress can slowly take over your energy, focus, and sense of self, especially if you’re the reliable one who always gets things done. Many people I work with are people pleasers who keep feeling frustrated at work and struggle to rest or set limits without guilt. Often, the workplace is the problem, not you. Demanding, unclear, or dismissive environments can wear anyone down and make you feel like you’re failing when you’re not.
If this is happening to you, you’re not alone.

Therapy isn’t about fixing you. It’s about giving you space and tools to manage work stress and burnout. Together, we explore what’s draining your energy, notice patterns like people-pleasing, and build strategies that actually fit your life.
You’ll leave sessions feeling more confident setting boundaries, handling workplace challenges, and reclaiming focus and energy. Therapy works with your strengths so you can find balance without giving up who you are.

I’ve spent nearly two decades studying how work affects mental health, including my thesis on this topic. I’ve worked in tech and other fast-paced industries, so I understand the pressure, burnout, and people-pleasing that come with demanding workplaces. I also give talks and workshops at companies about managing work stress and supporting mental health.
In therapy, I combine that experience with practical strategies and compassionate guidance to help you untangle what is draining your energy, rebuild focus, and feel more in control without giving up who you are.
