You’re Not Broken — You’re Burnt Out

People often arrive in therapy worried that something is “wrong” with them. In reality, many are simply exhausted.

Burnout doesn’t always look dramatic. Sometimes it shows up as irritability, numbness, decision fatigue, or the feeling that everything takes more effort than it should.

You might notice:

• Irritability or emotional flatness

• Decision fatigue and mental exhaustion

• Feeling disconnected from work, relationships, or yourself

• Pushing through because “you should be able to handle it”

You may still be functioning — going to work, caring for others, showing up — but inside, you feel flat or stretched thin. Burnout is often a nervous system issue, not a motivation issue. When stress stays high for too long, the body stays in survival mode. Over time, this impacts sleep, mood, relationships, and confidence. Pushing harder usually makes it worse. Therapy offers a place to slow things down and understand what’s actually draining you.

Together, we look at patterns — where pressure comes from, how rest gets postponed, and why your system hasn’t been able to reset. The work is practical and grounded, focusing on small shifts that create real relief. Burnout doesn’t mean you’ve failed. It means something needs to change. Therapy helps you make those changes intentionally — before your body forces them on you.
