It’s easy to feel like you’re running on empty when stress and burnout take over. Life seems like a constant juggling act, and no matter how hard you try, you never feel like you’re catching up. You might feel overwhelmed by the demands of work, relationships, or just life itself. Your energy feels drained, and the joy that once filled your days seems distant.

You are a human being, not a human doing.
It’s normal to feel stressed from time to time. Life has its ups and downs, and the challenges we face can sometimes feel like too much to bear. But when stress becomes chronic, or when it escalates into burnout, it can affect every area of your life, from your relationships to your health and overall well-being.
Burnout can leave you feeling disconnected, exhausted, and numb. It’s a feeling of being drained on every level—mentally, emotionally, and physically. But the good news is that burnout is something you can recover from, and stress is something you can learn to manage with the right tools.

To support you in navigating and healing from stress and burnout, I use an integrative holistic approach that combines therapeutic modalities that address the connection between your mind, body, and soul.
