Burnout Therapy for High-Achieving Women in Richmond, VA

You’ve built a life that looks impressive on paper—but inside, you’re unraveling.
You’re the one everyone relies on. The capable one. The do-it-all woman who never lets anything slip. And even though you’re exhausted, overwhelmed, and secretly unsure how much longer you can keep this up… slowing down feels impossible.

I offer burnout therapy for high-achieving women online in Richmond, VA and across Virginia and Florida. Together, we’ll get curious about the patterns that got you here—so you can start living from alignment, not survival mode.

You Don’t Have to Earn Your Rest

Burnout doesn’t always look like collapse. Sometimes, it looks like a polished woman who’s holding everything together on the outside but falling apart on the inside.

You might be experiencing:

  • Constant exhaustion, no matter how much sleep you get

  • A never-ending to-do list and a brain that never turns off

  • Guilt when you rest and shame when you can’t keep up

  • Overcommitting, overthinking, overperforming... and still feeling like it’s not enough

  • Resentment in your relationships—but struggling to ask for help

  • Feeling like a shell of yourself, disconnected from joy, creativity, or calm

It’s not your fault. Burnout is what happens when capable women are expected to be everything for everyone—with no room left for themselves.

What Burnout Often Looks Like (Even When You’re “Functioning”)

What Working Together Looks Like

I offer virtual sessions across Virginia and Florida. You can expect a therapy space that is:

  • Trauma-informed, deeply affirming, and centered around your lived experience

  • A blend of talk therapy, expressive arts, and nervous system regulation

  • Designed to go at your pace, especially if slowing down feels unfamiliar or unsafe

  • Inclusive of your identities as a woman, queer person, parent, partner, or professional navigating complex roles

You don’t need to “fall apart” to justify asking for support. If you're tired of carrying it all, you're already allowed to put some of it down.

How I Can Help

IBurnout therapy isn’t about quick fixes or another “productivity hack.”
It’s about unlearning the beliefs that told you your worth depends on your output, your self-sacrifice, or how little space you take up.

In our work together, I’ll help you:

  • Understand your burnout as a nervous system response—not a personal failure

  • Practice setting boundaries that feel protective, not punishing

  • Gently reconnect with your body’s signals through somatic and creative practices

  • Reclaim your own desires—not just your responsibilities

  • Build a new internal compass rooted in self-trust, not guilt

You’re allowed to need rest. You’re allowed to slow down. You’re allowed to stop proving and start being.

Why I Specialize in Burnout for High-Achieving Women

I know this space from the inside.
I’ve worked with so many brilliant, self-aware women who still feel like they’re failing—simply because they’re exhausted. Not because they’re doing something wrong, but because they’ve been taught to disappear inside their roles, relationships, and responsibilities.

This work is personal. It’s about helping you remember that you’re more than what you do. That you’re allowed to be soft, messy, and whole. And that you don’t have to earn the right to breathe.

    Anxiety often shows up as this constant buzzing that wont go away. It’s the tightness in your chest or the racing thoughts that take you out of the present moment and into the fear of the unknown.
