Work Stress & Career Transitions
Work can be a major source of meaning — but it can also become a source of pressure, burnout, and emotional exhaustion. Whether you’re navigating demanding expectations, unclear direction, difficult workplace dynamics, or the fear of making a big career shift, the impact can spill into your mood, relationships, and sense of self.
Many high-achieving, driven individuals push through without realizing how much weight they’re carrying. But chronic stress, perfectionism, job dissatisfaction, or the pressure to constantly perform can take a toll on your wellbeing. Over time, you may start to feel overwhelmed, disconnected, resentful, or unsure of your next step.
You don’t have to navigate career stress or major transitions alone. With support, you can build clarity, confidence, and a healthier relationship with work — one that actually supports your life rather than consumes it.

How Therapy Helps
Work stress and career transitions often reflect deeper themes — your identity, values, self-worth, and the expectations you’ve carried for years. In therapy, we explore these layers with clarity and compassion. Together, we identify the patterns that lead to burnout, the beliefs that keep you overextended, and the pressures that may be shaping your decisions without you realizing it.
From there, we help you build practical tools for regulating stress, setting boundaries, clarifying your goals, and making decisions that feel aligned rather than reactionary. Whether you're trying to thrive in your current role, navigate a challenging workplace, or explore a new path entirely, this work supports you in moving forward with greater stability and confidence.
You deserve a relationship with work that feels sustainable, meaningful, and balanced — not one that depletes you.
