What do anxiety, stress, and burnout have in common?

Anxiety, stress, and burnout can have a major impact on you and your life. I can help you understand and navigate your mental health challenges. As a specialist, I offer precision care to accelerate results.

Therapy can help with symptom management and addressing underlying issues. Anxiety and burnout can stem from life stress, toxic stress, trauma, and unhealed emotional or relational wounds. With the right support, you can recover and heal.

Therapy is a supportive and empowering relationship. My style of psychotherapy is mostly talk therapy with an emphasis on skills, strategies, and mindfulness. I will listen deeply, ask exploratory questions, and help you make progress toward your goals.

My main approach is Compassion Focused Therapy (CFT). CFT is about transformational growth and healing. Compassion can help you cultivate inner safety, stability, kindness, and wisdom. Compassion is great for issues like self-criticism, self-defeating behaviors, and difficult emotions. For example, I may suggest evidence-based tools like deep breathing, noticing your emotions, and challenging your thoughts. I may recommend brief homework assignments to maximize the benefits of therapy in your day-to-day life.

If you are looking for specific therapies, I am trained in Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, Cognitive Behavior Therapies, and multiple trauma therapies. I have advanced training and experience treating conditions like burnout, empathy fatigue, caregiver fatigue, and vicarious trauma. Focusing on burnout recovery and resilience can lead to lasting change.

As a trauma-informed therapist, I am attentive to the ways that trauma and toxic stress, both past and present, may be affecting your mental health, quality of life, sense of identity, and psychological safety. 

I take a culturally sensitive and identity-affirming approach to racial, ethnic, cultural, systemic, and intergenerational issues. Labels are tricky, but identity and culture are relevant in therapy. I am committed to culturally respectful and inclusive care for all races, ethnicities, ages, genders, sexual orientations, literacies, abilities, spiritualities, and values.
