Support for when you’ve been carrying too much, for too long.

If you are reading this, something in you is asking for relief — and that matters.

Burnout does not happen overnight. It builds slowly — through long workdays, emotional labour, caregiving responsibilities, relationship stress, and the quiet pressure to keep going even when your body is asking you to stop.

If you are here, you might be feeling stretched thin, overwhelmed, or disconnected from the parts of yourself that once felt steady. Maybe you are noticing anxiety creeping into your mornings, irritability showing up in your relationships, or a sense of numbness where your energy used to be.

I want you to know — you’re not failing. You’re tired. And your nervous system is asking for support.

As a Clinical Social Worker providing in‑person sessions in Calgary and online therapy across Alberta, I support individuals who are navigating chronic stress, emotional exhaustion, anxiety, relationship strain, and the weight of feeling responsible for everyone else’s needs. Burnout is not a personal flaw — it is a sign that you have been carrying too much, for too long, without enough support. Therapy can help you find your way back to yourself.

You Might Be Here Because…

Burnout often shows up long before we name it. You might be seeking support because:

• you are exhausted in a way that rest no longer fixes
• anxiety has become part of your daily routine
• you are overwhelmed by responsibilities that used to feel manageable
• your relationships feel strained, distant, or reactive
• you are carrying the emotional load for everyone around you
• you feel disconnected from yourself, your needs, or your sense of purpose
• you are tired of being “the strong one”
• you do not feel like yourself anymore

If any of these resonate, you are in the right place.

What Burnout Really Feels Like

Burnout can show up in ways that feel confusing or even shame‑inducing. You might notice:

• constant fatigue, even after resting
• feeling emotionally drained or “checked out”
• anxiety that spikes without warning
• difficulty concentrating or making decisions
• irritability or conflict in relationships
• feeling overwhelmed by small tasks
• loss of motivation or sense of purpose
• a sense of numbness or detachment
• physical symptoms like headaches, tension, or stomach discomfort

Burnout affects your mind, body, and relationships — and it deserves compassionate, attuned support.

Why Burnout Happens

Burnout often emerges when your responsibilities outweigh your capacity for too long. This might include:

• high‑pressure work environments
• caregiving roles
• chronic stress or anxiety
• perfectionism or people‑pleasing
• relationship strain
• unprocessed trauma
• lack of emotional support
• feeling responsible for everyone else’s needs

Your body is not betraying you — it is signalling that something needs to change.

How Therapy Helps You Recover

Burnout therapy is not about “pushing through.” It is about slowing down enough to understand what your body, emotions, and nervous system are trying to tell you.

Together, we will:

• explore the root causes of your burnout
• understand how stress impacts your body and emotions
• rebuild your capacity for rest, connection, and clarity
• strengthen boundaries and reduce overwhelm
• reconnect you with your values, needs, and inner voice
• create sustainable habits that support long‑term wellbeing

My approach is trauma‑informed, attachment‑based, and grounded in mindfulness, helping you feel safe, seen, and supported as you rebuild your emotional and physical energy.

My Approach to Burnout Support

I blend several therapeutic modalities to support your healing, including:

• Mindfulness Therapy — to help you reconnect with your body
• Attachment‑Based Therapy (ABT) — to explore relational patterns
• Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) — to shift unhelpful thoughts and behaviours
• Somatic Awareness — to calm your nervous system
• Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT) — to help you understand and express your needs

Therapy gives you a space to slow down, breathe, and rediscover the parts of yourself that have been overshadowed by stress.

What Makes My Approach Different

Many people come to therapy feeling like they have tried everything — resting, taking time off, pushing harder, or pretending they are fine. My approach is different because:

• I do not focus on productivity or “fixing” you
• I help you understand what your body is communicating
• I support you in reconnecting with your needs, not overriding them
• I honour your pace — slow, gentle, and grounded
• I hold space for the emotional, relational, and physical layers of burnout
• I help you build sustainable change, not quick fixes

Burnout is not a sign of weakness — it is a sign of being human in a world that asks too much. You deserve support that honours that.

Signs You Might Be Experiencing Burnout

You may be experiencing burnout if you notice:

• feeling overwhelmed by tasks that used to feel manageable
• emotional exhaustion or irritability
• difficulty setting boundaries
• feeling disconnected from yourself or others
• anxiety, worry, or racing thoughts
• trouble sleeping or relaxing
• feeling “on edge” or overstimulated
• a sense of hopelessness or dread

If these resonate, you do not have to carry this on your own — support is available.
