Stress and burnout are all too familiar in today’s fast-paced world. From heavy workloads to personal challenges, the sources of stress can quickly add up causing you to feel overwhelmed, tired, and burnt out. Stress and burnout can take a toll on you physically, emotionally, and mentally. You might feel constantly fatigued, irritable or even cynical. Stress and burnout may also look like frequent headaches, tension in your body, or even signs of anxiety and depression. Counseling can provide you a place to explore your stressors, set boundaries and prioritize self-care. If this sounds close to home, email me to get started.

Burnout may look or feel different for everyone, but some of the common signs are constant exhaustion, irritability, frequent headaches, trouble sleeping, frequent illnesses, heightened emotional reactions, constant negative thinking or cynical thinking, and even signs of depression.
