You push yourself because your patients, clients, staff, or family rely on you.
You push yourself because your patients, clients, staff, or family rely on you.
You tell yourself, I can handle it. And you do, until one day, you can’t. You feel detached, cynical, or like you’re moving through your life on autopilot. You still show up, but the spark is gone.
You grab that extra cup of coffee “just this one more time,” you sit in front of Netflix, binge shows that don’t really entertain you, but you get lost in them anyway, you Doordash way too much, you know a walk would be good for you but instead you sit scrolling on your phone for 20 minutes.
Maybe you’ve noticed you’re more irritable or numb, running on caffeine and adrenaline.
You’re doing everything “right,” but nothing feels right.
You keep thinking you just need a break, but even when you get one, you don’t actually rest. You just crash, recover enough to function, and start again.
It’s not that you’re weak or unmotivated. It’s that you’re experiencing burnout.
If you're looking for therapy for burnout and exhaustion in Oregon you're in the right place.

What burnout really feels like
What burnout really feels like
Burnout isn’t just being tired.
It’s a deep emotional and physical depletion that happens when your capacity and your responsibilities have been out of balance for too long.
It’s your body and mind saying, enough.
You’re not lazy, and you’re not failing.
You’re a human being trying to function in systems that reward overwork and punish rest.
You might recognize yourself here
You might recognize yourself here
You dread the day before it even starts.
You feel constantly behind, even when you’re working nonstop.
You’ve stopped finding satisfaction in things that used to matter.
You feel detached from your work, your loved ones, yourself.
You fantasize about quitting, disappearing, or starting over somewhere where you can be a grocery checker or a bartender at a tropical beach resort.
You blame yourself for not being able to “handle it like you used to.”
When the job becomes the identity
When the job becomes the identity
Your worth has become intertwined with your performance.
Your worth has become intertwined with your performance.
For physicians, nurses, business owners, and other high-responsibility professionals, work isn’t just what you do, it’s who you are.
You might tell yourself, Once I get through this project, hire more help, or finish this quarter, I’ll feel better.
But that moment keeps moving farther away.
The truth is, burnout doesn’t go away when you achieve more.
It eases when you begin to live differently, with permission to slow down, to feel, to rest, and to remember what you actually value.
What if life didn’t feel like survival mode?
What if life didn’t feel like survival mode?
Imagine waking up and not feeling dread about the day ahead.
Imagine enjoying time with your family without your mind running back to work.
Imagine feeling rested, focused, and present, not because you’re less ambitious, but because you’re no longer running on empty.
It’s possible to find your way back to purpose and energy without having to burn yourself out to get there.

In therapy, you’ll have space to unpack what’s really happening beneath the exhaustion.
Together, we’ll explore the patterns that have kept you over-functioning, over-giving, and under-rested. You’ll begin to notice what your body has been trying to tell you long before it forces you to stop.
Therapy for burnout isn’t about “fixing” your motivation. It’s about healing your relationship with work, with rest, and with yourself.
We’ll work together to
We’ll work together to
Identify the beliefs that keep you stuck in overdrive (“If I stop, everything falls apart”).
Reconnect to your values and what truly matters to you.
Learn to set boundaries that protect your energy and peace.
Develop strategies for managing chronic stress and overwhelm.
Cultivate compassion for yourself, especially the parts that think you should be stronger.
I use an integrated approach combining Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), self-compassion training, mindfulness and somatic awareness. I bring practical tools rooted in compassion and evidence to our work. I blend insight and action, so you can begin making small, meaningful changes that restore your energy and your life.
Why high-achievers are especially vulnerable to burnout
Why high-achievers are especially vulnerable to burnout
High-achieving professionals are often praised for their dedication and resilience, but those same strengths can become traps.
You’ve learned to push through pain, to stay calm in crisis, to take on more when others can’t. Over time, that becomes your default.
You stop noticing how tired you are until it’s impossible to ignore.
You might fear that if you slow down, everything will fall apart: your team, your reputation, your sense of self. But burnout is what happens when you ignore the truth your body already knows: you can’t pour from an empty cup.
Healing doesn’t mean losing your edge.
Healing doesn’t mean losing your edge.
It means learning to work, lead, and live with intention not depletion.
What working together feels like
What working together feels like
Therapy with me is not a lecture about self-care.
It’s a conversation about your life: honest, compassionate, and practical.
You can expect a space where you don’t have to pretend you’re fine.
You can admit you’re tired, frustrated, or unsure.
We’ll laugh sometimes.
We’ll pause often.
I bring warmth, curiosity, and clinical expertise from years of helping healthcare professionals and high-achievers recover from burnout.
Together, we’ll help you remember what “enough” feels like and how to live from that place again
