Anxiety & Burnout Therapy
You get things done. But you rarely feel done.
Your mind keeps running through what could go wrong, what you forgot, or what someone might think. Even rest can feel like another thing you should be doing better.
Maybe you have been holding everything together for so long that you barely recognize how exhausted you are.
I offer IFS-informed therapy for anxiety, overthinking, and burnout. We make space to understand the pressure and work toward a more sustainable way of living.

When pressure becomes your normal
Anxiety can show up in your thoughts, your body, and the choices you make. You might notice:
Replaying conversations or preparing for every possible outcome
Tension, restlessness, or difficulty settling into sleep
Perfectionism and a fear of disappointing people
Putting off decisions because you do not want to get them wrong
Feeling guilty when you rest or say no
Burnout can include exhaustion, distance or cynicism toward work, and feeling less effective despite trying harder. Other responsibilities can also leave you depleted, even when “burnout” is not the right clinical label.
We do not assume every worry is an anxiety disorder or every tired feeling is burnout. We look at your experience, your environment, and what support you need.
Sometimes the pressure is connected to past experiences or relationship patterns. Sometimes the demands on you really are too much. Both deserve attention.
Here’s what we work toward in therapy.
From constant pressure to room to breathe.
Therapy gives us space to slow down and notice what keeps you caught in the cycle. We explore worry, avoidance, self-criticism, and the expectations you have learned to carry.
My approach is collaborative and IFS-informed. We can get curious about the part of you that pushes, the part that worries, and the part that is tired—without turning any of them into an enemy.
Alongside that deeper understanding, we work on practical changes:
Recognizing the difference between a useful next step and another loop of worry
Practicing manageable steps toward situations you have been avoiding
Setting boundaries around work, availability, and relationships
Making room for rest without needing to earn it first
Reconnecting with the people and values that matter to you
We also look at workload and support. Therapy can help you respond differently, but it cannot make unreasonable demands reasonable. Your plan should fit your circumstances, and we adjust it as we learn what helps.
If intrusive thoughts and repeated rituals are central to your experience, explore ERP-informed OCD therapy. Faith integration is optional and shaped around your goals and values.
Change takes practice, and the pace varies. We review your progress and discuss other supports or referrals when appropriate.
