You Don't Have to Keep Running on Empty

Burnout & Depression Therapy for Women & Adolescents

Burnout can leave you feeling exhausted, irritable, disconnected, or like you're running on empty no matter how much you try to rest. You may still be showing up for school, work, family, and everything expected of you — while privately feeling like you have nothing left to give.
Over time, burnout can overlap with depression, including low motivation, loss of interest, hopelessness, or feeling emotionally numb. Therapy can help you understand what's contributing to how you feel, recognize patterns that are keeping you depleted, and find healthier ways to manage stress, expectations, boundaries, and your own needs.

What Burnout & Depression Can Look Like

Burnout and depression can overlap, and sometimes it can be difficult to tell where one ends and the other begins. Both can leave you feeling exhausted, disconnected, unmotivated, or unlike yourself — especially after you’ve been carrying stress, responsibilities, grief, or emotional overwhelm for a long time.

  • Feeling emotionally or physically exhausted even after resting
  • Irritability, frustration, or feeling like you have nothing left to give
  • Losing interest in people, activities, or things you usually enjoy
  • Difficulty concentrating, making decisions, or staying motivated
  • Feeling detached, numb, hopeless, or increasingly checked out
  • Sleeping too much or too little, withdrawing from others, or struggling with responsibilities that once felt manageable

If you’ve been feeling this way for weeks, months, or longer, you don’t have to wait until you’re completely depleted to reach out. Therapy can help you understand what’s contributing to how you’re feeling and begin finding a healthier way forward.

Building
Energy, Connection & Balance

Therapy isn't about telling you to think positively or simply do more. We'll look at what's contributing to the exhaustion, disconnection, or low mood and identify changes that feel realistic for your life.
This may include rebuilding routines and activities that provide connection or meaning, addressing patterns of overextending yourself, setting healthier boundaries, challenging harsh expectations of yourself, and finding manageable ways to reconnect with parts of life that have fallen away.

Behavioral Activation

When you're exhausted, disconnected, or feeling low, it can become harder to engage in the very things that give your life structure, connection, or meaning. Behavioral activation focuses on gradually rebuilding those activities in manageable ways — not by forcing positivity, but by helping you reconnect with parts of life that matter to you.

Burnout & Depression Treatment FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

Everyone goes through hard seasons, but burnout and depression tend to affect more than just your mood. Burnout often develops after prolonged stress or feeling stretched too thin and may leave you exhausted, irritable, detached, or emotionally depleted. Depression can also affect your sleep, energy, concentration, motivation, and sense of self. If these feelings are persistent, interfering with daily life, or keep coming back, it may be worth reaching out for support.
Therapy can help with both burnout and depression by addressing the thoughts, behaviors, stressors, and patterns that may be contributing to how you feel. Some people also benefit from medication, particularly when depressive symptoms are more significant. I’m a therapist, not a prescriber, but I can support you in discussing medication with a medical provider and collaborate with your provider when appropriate. Therapy and medication aren’t necessarily either/or — what makes sense depends on your individual needs.
