You might notice:

    •    A mind that won’t shut off, even when your body begs for rest

    •    Blunted motivation, like the “spark” evaporated overnight

    •    A subtle shame that says, “Why can’t I handle this? I always could.”

    •    Work that used to excite you now feels like a slow leak in your soul

    •    The quiet fear that if you stop… everything falls apart

    •    Identity confusion: If I’m not performing, who am I?

 

This isn’t laziness.

This isn’t a character flaw.

This is burnout that grew out of old patterns — patterns that once protected you.

I Help High-Achieving People Recover From Burnout Without Losing

Their Ambition or Their Mind.

 

I work with:

​    •    Tech professionals and founders

    •    People carrying intense internal pressure

    •    Adults with “gifted child” histories

    •    Quiet overachievers who internalize stress

    •    Those who absorb emotions in their environment like emotional Wi-Fi

    •    People who carry shame they’ve never named but always felt

 

Burnout is rarely just workload — it’s the collision of external demands

and internal architecture.

 

My Approach:

Psychoanalytic depth + trauma expertise + IFS-informed clarity.

No airy platitudes. No quick-fix hacks.

 

Instead, we work on:

1. The unconscious patterns that shaped your drive:

The parts that learned to work harder, stay attuned, keep everybody else regulated.

 

2. The shame-story that whispers you’re failing:

Often the defectiveness schema — the belief that your worth is conditional and must be earned.

 

3. The gifted-child burden:

Your early ability to read parental unconscious needs…

and how carrying that into adulthood erodes your vitality.

 

4. The physiology of burnout:

HPA axis overload, sleep fragmentation, hormonal shifts — all the ways the body says “enough.”

 

5. Your internal system (IFS-friendly):

Managers, firefighters, and the exile holding the “I’m unlovable unless I perform” narrative.

We bring curiosity, not self-critique.

 

6. Reclaiming vitality:

Not to go back to the old pattern - but to create a new relationship to ambition, rest, meaning, and identity.

 

What Changes?

Burnout recovery isn’t about becoming “less.”

It’s about rooting your strength somewhere real.

 

People who work with me often say they:

​    •    Feel more grounded, more centered in their own life

    •    Stop living on adrenaline and start living from Self

    •    Regain creativity and desire

    •    Improve relationships

    •    Set boundaries without guilt

    •    Understand themselves with clarity instead of shame

    •    Find direction again — not the frantic kind, the aligned kind
