Therapy for Burnout | Pasadena + online in CA

The vacation helped. For about two days.

Burnout isn’t only about work. It’s quietly carrying the family calendar, the group chat’s drama, and society’s unspoken expectations.

Where it shows up now

THE FAMILY HOTLINE

First one they call, last one to rest.

ALWAYS THE RESOURCE

If you have it, somehow it’s theirs.

RUNNING ON EMPTY

Tired, snappy, and quietly resentful.

STUCK IN PLACE

Wanting a change, too tired to make one.

WORTH = OUTPUT

Not sure who you are on a day off.

Am I the right therapist for you?

Research keeps finding that the relationship between client and therapist is one of the strongest predictors of how therapy goes, often more than the method. So fit matters. Here’s an honest picture of when this tends to work best.

Likely, if you:

Want a warm, direct therapist, and deep insight work

Are curious about what you notice between sessions

Can commit to weekly sessions for a stretch of time

Are comfortable with private pay or out-of-network benefits

Unlikely, if you’re seeking:

Manualized, step-by-step treatment every week

In-network insurance only 

A guru to “fix it” for you

Occasional drop-in sessions

Quick fixes and IG-reel advice

Getting Started:

01

Free 15-minute consult

A short call to see if we’re a fit, and why now.

02

First
sessions

Your story, the issue, the background, and your goals.

03

Ongoing work

Weekly sessions: insight, practice, and what’s shifting.

04

Adjust AS YOU GO

Goals shift as your life does. EMDR joins when it helps.

Is this burnout or depression?

They can overlap. We look at both, and if it’s depression, we adjust accordingly.

Do I have to stop helping my family?

No. The goal is helping by choice instead of by default, without the disconnection.

What if I don’t have time for this?

Of course you don’t. You’re doing literally everything. Which might be the whole point.
