Individual therapy for adults navigating work stress, burnout, and career uncertainty — in New York City, Brooklyn, and via teletherapy across New York State.
PROFESSIONAL ISSUES
You spend more of your waking hours at work than almost anywhere else.
So when something feels wrong there — the grinding pressure, the creeping dread on Sunday nights, the sense that you've lost the thread of why any of it matters — it doesn't stay at work. It follows you home. It shows up in your sleep, your relationships, your sense of yourself.
And yet it can feel hard to take seriously. Like you should just push through. Like other people have it worse.
You don't have to convince yourself it's bad enough. If work is weighing on you, that's enough.
Struggles You're Facing
- Burnout that rest doesn't fix. You take a long weekend and come back just as depleted. The tiredness is deeper than that.
- A growing disconnect from your work. You used to care. Now you're going through the motions and wondering when that changed.
- Pressure that feels relentless. Deadlines, expectations, performance anxiety, the fear of being found out or falling short.
- A career that no longer fits. Something has shifted in you, in your circumstances, or both. The path you're on doesn't feel right anymore.
- Work bleeding into everything else. Your relationships, your health, your ability to be present. The boundaries have stopped working.
Underneath a lot of this is something deeper than job stress.
Questions about identity. About whether you're on the right path. About what success is actually supposed to feel like, and why having it doesn't always make you feel better.
Relief You Can Expect
Over time, you might find:
- More clarity about what's actually driving the stress. Not just the surface pressures, but the deeper beliefs and fears feeding them.
- Less of yourself lost to work. More ability to be present in the rest of your life without the job following you there.
- A steadier sense of your own worth. One that isn't entirely tied to your output, your title, or your next achievement.
- Clearer direction. Whether that means finding a way to stay, building a plan to leave, or simply understanding what you actually want.
But they tend to be lasting, because they come from understanding rather than strategy alone.
How I Guide You There
The way you respond to a critical boss, the fear of disappointing people, the drive to prove yourself, the difficulty saying no. These patterns usually have roots that go back further than your current job. Understanding where they come from is often what makes it possible to change them.
Together, we'll look at both layers:
- What's happening in your current work situation and how it's affecting you
- The deeper patterns, beliefs, and history that shape how you experience it
- Managing stress and preventing depletion
- Making decisions under uncertainty
- Setting limits without the guilt spiral
- Thinking through a career shift with more clarity and less panic
What to Expect
You might come in mid-crisis. A job loss, a breaking point, a decision you can't make. Or you might come in with something slower and harder to name. A feeling that something has been off for a while.
Either way, you set the pace.
From there:
- Sessions are 45 minutes, typically once a week
- Some people focus primarily on the immediate situation before going deeper
- Others find the deeper work is exactly what they came for
- We'll find the rhythm that makes sense for where you are

Work stress is common. But common doesn't mean you have to live with it. If it's affecting your sleep, your relationships, your health, or your sense of self, therapy can help you understand what's driving it and build something more sustainable.
Both, depending on what's most useful. Sometimes the immediate work situation needs attention first. Often the most meaningful work involves understanding the patterns and beliefs that make the situation so hard. Those go beyond any single job.
That uncertainty is a completely valid reason to come to therapy. You don't need to arrive with a decision made. Part of what therapy can offer is the space to think more clearly, without the pressure of having to act before you're ready.
