Therapy for Anxiety, Stress & Burnout in Texas, Florida, and Vermont
In-person therapy in Sugar Land, TX • Telehealth in TX, FL & VT
You may look like you’re holding everything together on the outside, while feeling anxious, exhausted, overwhelmed, or mentally “on” all the time inside. I help adults understand the patterns behind anxiety, stress, burnout, rumination, and emotional exhaustion so they can respond to life with more clarity, steadiness, and self-trust.
When “high-functioning” starts to feel exhausting
Many adults who seek therapy for anxiety and burnout are used to being responsible, capable, and dependable. You may be the person others count on, the one who keeps going, solves problems, meets expectations, and holds everything together.
But internally, it may feel very different. You may struggle with racing thoughts, self-criticism, difficulty resting, overthinking conversations, feeling guilty when you slow down, or never quite feeling like you have done enough.
Therapy can help you understand the patterns that keep anxiety, stress, and emotional exhaustion going, and begin responding to yourself and your life with more clarity, flexibility, and self-trust.
How therapy can help
Therapy is tailored to your needs, goals, history, and current stressors. Depending on what you are experiencing, our work may draw from cognitive-behavioral therapy, ACT-informed strategies, mindfulness-based tools, nervous system regulation, trauma-informed work, and practical approaches for boundaries, emotional regulation, and reducing overthinking.
For anxiety and rumination, therapy may focus on recognizing thought loops, reducing avoidance, and building more flexible ways of responding to uncertainty.
For burnout and emotional exhaustion, therapy may focus on self-criticism, overfunctioning, pressure to keep performing, difficulty resting, and the patterns that make it hard to slow down without guilt.
When past difficult experiences are contributing to current symptoms, we may also explore trauma-informed approaches, including EMDR when clinically appropriate.
Therapy may be a good fit if you are experiencing:
Racing thoughts or difficulty turning your mind off
Stress that feels hard to recover from
Burnout, emotional exhaustion, or feeling depleted by responsibilities
Rumination, overthinking, or replaying conversations and decisions
Difficulty resting without guilt
Self-criticism or pressure to keep performing
People-pleasing, overfunctioning, or feeling responsible for everyone
Relationship stress, resentment, or difficulty setting boundaries
Life transitions stir up uncertainty, grief, or identity questions
What may begin to change
As therapy progresses, you may begin to notice that your mind feels less crowded, your body stays less activated, and your reactions feel more manageable. You may find it easier to pause before spiraling, speak to yourself with more compassion, set clearer boundaries, and feel less driven by pressure, guilt, or overthinking.
The goal is not to become a different person. The goal is to help you feel more grounded, more flexible, and more able to move through life without feeling constantly braced.
