Burnout Therapy in Burlingame, CA

Burnout usually shows up as chronic exhaustion that doesn’t improve with rest, a sense of detachment or cynicism, and feeling like nothing you do is ever enough. Unlike temporary stress, it seeps into your work, your energy, and your overall sense of self, often leaving you frustrated, overwhelmed, and stuck in a cycle of “running on empty.” Therapy helps you identify these patterns, understand how they affect your body and mind, and develop strategies to restore energy and balance.

Burnout therapy combines traditional talk therapy with practical, body-centered approaches. You’ll explore how stress and overwork show up in your mind, body, and daily habits, then practice mindfulness, somatic exercises, and pacing strategies to release tension, regulate your energy, and reconnect with your focus. Sessions are collaborative and tailored to your life, helping you create tools that make each day feel more manageable and less overwhelming.

Not at all. While work is often a major trigger, burnout affects every area of life—sleep, self-care, relationships, decision-making, and even simple daily routines. Therapy addresses the full picture, helping you notice where stress lives in your body, your thoughts, and your habits. Over time, you learn to move through daily life with steadiness, clarity, and energy, not just survive work hours but feel present and grounded in everything you do.

Everyone’s experience is different, but many people notice small shifts in tension, focus, or energy within a few sessions. Burnout is deeply ingrained, so therapy is about more than quick fixes—it’s about retraining your body and mind, building sustainable habits, and learning to manage pressure before it spirals. Over time, these changes add up, allowing you to experience relief, clarity, and motivation in a lasting way.

I combine attachment-based approaches, mindfulness, and somatic therapy to tackle burnout from multiple angles. We work with both your body and your mind, noticing the tension, habits, and triggers that keep stress and exhaustion cycling. You’ll learn how to settle your body under pressure, make decisions without overthinking, and build daily practices that restore energy, focus, and confidence — so you can move through work and life with steadiness instead of constant overwhelm.

I am currently out-of-network, but I provide superbills that many clients submit to their PPO plans for partial reimbursement. Coverage varies by plan, so it’s best to check with your insurance provider. I can guide you through the superbill process and provide documentation to make reimbursement as smooth as possible. Many clients find that even out-of-network sessions can be partially covered, making therapy more accessible. My current rate is $200 for a 50 minute session.
