Burnout + Overwhelm Therapy for Crispy, High‑Achieving Millennial Women in the Greater Boston area
serving all of Massachusetts, New Hampshire, Rhode Island and Texas
For the women who are still getting everything done—but feel like they’re one small thing away from losing it.
Has “I can’t keep doing this” become a regular thought in your head?
Maybe there wasn’t one big blow‑up—just a slow build of too many responsibilities, too few breaks, and way too much pressure to hold it all together.
Or maybe there was a moment that scared you a little: snapping at your partner or kids over something tiny and seeing their faces fall,crying in your car in a Target parking lot for 20 minutes,fantasizing about getting sick or injured just so you’d be “allowed” to rest.
You might be:
powering through your days on caffeine and willpower, then crashing hard at night,
saying yes to things you absolutely do not have capacity for,
feeling constantly resentful and then guilty for feeling that way.
Or maybe it’s turned into pure numbness—you’re doing all the things, but you feel disconnected, checked out, or like you’re watching your own life from the outside.
Whatever your version looks like, you’re starting to notice the impact of burnout and overwhelm in every part of your life:
At work: Struggling to focus, missing details you never used to miss, zoning out in meetings, procrastinating until the last minute because your brain is cooked.
At home: Snapping over small things, feeling touched‑out and drained, resenting the mental load and then beating yourself up for being “ungrateful.”
In your body: Exhausted but wired, trouble sleeping, headaches or stomach issues, a nervous system that never really powers down.
In your relationship with yourself: Calling yourself lazy or “too much,” feeling like a shell of who you used to be, wondering where your spark went and if this is just how adulthood feels now.
Burnout + overwhelm therapy can help.
It may feel impossible now, but you can stop living like every day is an emotional sprint. You can feel less crispy and less ragey. You can move through your life without feeling one small thing away from losing it. And I can help you get there.
Burnout + overwhelm therapy helps you do three big things:
Name what’s actually burning you out
We get really honest about what’s draining you—mental load, people‑pleasing, perfectionism, being the “strong one,” old patterns you’ve outgrown—so you stop thinking you are the problem.Calm your nervous system so you’re not in constant survival mode
We work with your body, not against it: simple, realistic nervous‑system tools to help you feel less on edge, less overstimulated, and less like you’re about to snap all the time.Change how you relate to your time, your boundaries, and yourself
We practice setting and holding boundaries, saying no without a shame spiral, and building small shifts into your days so you’re not running at 200% on 2% battery forever.
So you can:
have more capacity for the things and people you care about,
feel more like yourself again (not just a burnt‑out version of you),
and move through your days without constantly wondering if you’re about to break.
I’ll walk you through this process, tailoring each step to your real life and nervous system. My approach to burnout & overwhelm therapy is grounded and no‑BS: I don’t see you as “the problem”—I see a smart, capable woman stuck in a cycle that’s burning her out, and we work together to change that cycle.
Exhaustion and overwhelm don’t have to be your story.
It’s time to have energy again—and actually feel like yourself.
You don’t have to live life feeling behind and never enough.
You don’t have to live life feeling crispy, exhausted, and one small thing away from losing it.
It’s time to stop running on fumes and start feeling like yourself again in a life that doesn’t constantly drain you.
I can help you get there.

❓ Common Burnout + Overwhelm Therapy Questions
-
Sessions are a mix of honest conversation, nervous‑system support, and very practical changes. We’re not just rehashing your week while I nod.
We’ll:
talk about what’s draining you (mental load, work pressure, perfectionism, resentment),
notice what’s happening in your body as you talk (tight chest, racing thoughts, numbness, shutdown),
and experiment with simple tools in real time—like grounding, breath work, and boundary scripts you can actually use between sessions.
You can expect a grounded, no‑BS space where you don’t have to downplay how bad it feels. I’ll ask questions, connect dots, and offer concrete options—not just “how does that make you feel?”
-
It depends on how crispy you are, how long you’ve been in survival mode, and what you want to change.
Some clients work with me for a few months to:
get out of the immediate burnout spiral,
feel less on edge,
and build some basic nervous‑system + boundary tools.
Others stay longer to:
untangle long‑standing patterns (people‑pleasing, over‑functioning, perfectionism),
work through deeper resentment and guilt,
and create a more sustainable way of living.
We’ll talk about your goals early on and check in regularly. There’s no requirement to stay for a certain number of sessions, and there’s no pressure to stay longer than feels helpful. My priority is what you need, not keeping you in therapy forever.

I can’t promise specific outcomes, but you’re likely a good fit if you’re a millennial woman (often a mom, often with a spicy/ADHD brain) who:
is constantly exhausted but can’t ever fully relax,
feels resentful about how much you carry, then guilty about feeling resentful,
is still “functioning” on the outside but feels like you’re one small thing away from snapping or shutting down,
and is tired of trying to fix it with more productivity, more self‑help, or more “self‑care” that doesn’t touch the root issue.
My approach tends to work well if you:
want someone warm, direct, and honest (no fluffy affirmations, no shaming),
are open to paying attention to your body and nervous system—not just your thoughts,
and are willing to try small, realistic changes rather than hunting for a magical quick fix.
If you’re not sure, that’s exactly what a consult is for—we can talk about what’s going on and see if this style of therapy feels right for you.
-
The first step is to schedule a consultation. It’s a short, low‑pressure telephone call where we:
talk about what burnout and overwhelm look like for you right now,
I share how I’d approach your situation and answer any questions you have about working with me,
and we decide together if it feels like a good fit.
If we decide to move forward, we’ll book your first full session and I’ll walk you through the simple intake and scheduling process. If it doesn’t feel right, I’m happy to point you toward other options. The goal is for you to leave that first conversation with more clarity and a sense of next steps—not more pressure.
