Are you overwhelmed with trying to do it all?
Online therapy for burnout in Miami
Serving all of Florida, New York & Wyoming
Your tank is running on empty and you know you need to do something to fill it back up again.
Maybe you…
-
but you never imagined how it would affect you. You start to dread going into work and fantasize about switching careers, but you feel lost and overwhelmed because this is what you thought you always wanted to do.
-
and suddenly you are researching doctors, medications and symptoms, spending hours dealing with insurance companies and watching your loved one struggle but not knowing how to help. In addition, you might also have a family of your own to take care of, work that is piling up and not enough hours in the day to get to everything.
-
and you truly love it. But at the same time, you are so tired, overwhelmed and tapped out. You feel like you have lost a bit of yourself somewhere along the way, but you don’t feel that you can share what you are feeling with anyone because you feel guilty for even having these thoughts.
And you’re feeling…
-
because you are usually able to manage everything on your own, but now things are starting to pile up and you can’t seem to catch up. There is so much on your plate that you find yourself frozen and unable to motivate and get going. Your brain feels like it’s on overload and like it can’t handle one more piece of information.
-
because no one knows you are feeling this way. On the outside, it looks like you have it all together, but inside it feels like you are sinking in quicksand. You are a person who likes to be in control, and you struggle with uncertainty, so life feels particularly difficult right now.
-
because you “should” be able to do it all, you “should” not have these feelings and you “shouldn’t” be struggling.
-
because there are not enough hours in the day to do what you need to do and then at night, when you lie down, you can’t sleep because your mind starts to race and you can’t turn off the thoughts.
Self-care is never a selfish act!
You do so much for others, but what if you had a space that was just for you? It can be difficult to find the time for you, but I think we can agree that there has to be a better way to feel than this constant roller coaster of emotions.
How I can help
Seeking support for yourself is the best form of self-care.
Imagine a life where you woke up feeling well rested, both emotionally and physically—a day where you had more control of your schedule and felt more comfortable setting boundaries, had time to reconnect with others and to prioritize your own wellbeing. While it is unrealistic to imagine that every day will be perfect, relief is possible, and you deserve to feel better.
If only we were given an instruction manual that clearly explains how to handle everything that you are juggling. But no two people are alike, so each instruction manual is unique, and the best person to write yours is you.
In our sessions together, my job isn’t to tell you what to do—our work together is so much more than that. I’m there for you to vent, bounce ideas off of, cry and laugh with. I will gently nudge you at times, ask you to look at things and to possibly process them in a different way. You will then have the time and the space to work through things until you feel more grounded.

Yes, continuing to show up despite being completely exhausted or mentally detached can have serious detrimental effects on your wellbeing as well as on the wellbeing of those that you care for.

That will vary from person to person. It usually is dependent on the severity and on the person’s ability to implement self-care and lifestyle changes.Item description
