Help for Those Who Help Others

You show up every day for others even when you aren't at your best.

​

You make hard decisions. You stay calm in chaos, and you carry responsibility that most people will never fully understand.

Experiencing stress, burnout, and overwhelm

​And when the shift ends — the stress doesn’t always turn off. You might be feeling exhausted, irritable, emotionally numb, disconnected from your loved ones, overwhelmed, or stretched thin.

 

You are so good at caring for others, but your needs always seem to be bottom of the list. ​

Effects of High Stress Enviroments

Working in professions with repeated exposure to high stress can take a toll on your physical, emotional, and mental health. We've all heard about burnout or seen it in colleagues, but before you get to burnout, high amounts of stress can also lead to:​

Supplies to provide first aid to others

  • Emotional exhaustion

  • Anxiety and chronic stress

  • Trauma exposure or secondary trauma

  • Irritability or mood changes

  • Relationship strain

  • Feeling disconnected or numb

  • Questioning whether you can “keep doing this”

  • Major life transitions​

How do you take care of you so you don't get to burn out? How do you rest yourself so you are refreshed and reset for the next day?​

Whether you’re early in your career or years into it, the weight can accumulate over time.You don’t have to wait until you’re completely depleted to ask for help.

You Don't Have to Do This Alone

You’re probably used to being the strong one. However, you deserve a space where you don’t have to hold it all together, where your needs matter, where you are listened to, and where you don’t have to do everything alone.That’s what therapy with me is designed to be.
