Many people don't realize they're burning out until the symptoms begin affecting every area of life. Therapy helps you understand the patterns that led there, recognize your limits, and make intentional changes before burnout becomes your new normal.
Stress and burnout are often confused, but they aren't the same. Stress usually means there is too much: too many demands, too much pressure, or too much responsibility. Burnout, on the other hand, often feels like not enough: not enough energy, motivation, or emotional reserves to keep going.
While stress is often temporary and tied to specific situations, burnout tends to develop gradually as the result of chronic, unmanaged stress.

Burnout and depression can share many of the same symptoms, which is why they are sometimes confused. One important difference is that burnout is often linked to work or a specific area of life, while depression tends to affect many aspects of daily functioning. During therapy, we'll explore your symptoms carefully to better understand what you're experiencing and determine the most appropriate course of treatment.
