Therapy for Stress + Burnout
We experience a lot of tough transitions in life—starting college, navigating becoming a caregiver, a new job, loss of a job, retirement, relationship changes, dealing with an injury or chronic illness, or losing a partner, friend, or family member. On top of that, day-to-day stress can pile up quickly, relationships can feel draining, and anxiety symptoms can make everything feel even heavier.
​
While therapy may feel like "one more thing" on your to-do list, Rooted Wellness Counseling goes deeper than just talking. My approach helps you understand how stress affects your mind and nervous system and gives you practical tools to regain a sense of control and calm.

How I help with Stress:
Stress can show up in many ways—racing thoughts, irritability, difficulty sleeping, or feeling overwhelmed by even the smallest tasks. Stress is cumulative, and without healthy strategies to process it, it can escalate and affect both your mind and body.
​
Using Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), we explore how thoughts, emotions, and physical sensations shape your experience, gently challenging patterns that keep stress heightened. We also use Problem-Solving Therapy (PST) to break overwhelming situations into smaller, actionable steps, helping you feel more capable and in control. Additionally, I incorporate somatic and polyvagal-informed tools, so you can regulate your nervous system, calm your body, and respond to stress with more ease. Together, we’ll explore coping strategies until you find what truly works for you.
​
You don’t have to do this alone— there are ways to create relief, even when it feels out of reach.
How I help with Burnout:
Burnout can feel like hitting a wall—leaving you physically, emotionally, and mentally exhausted, even from things you once felt passionate about. It’s not just tiredness; it’s the weight of chronic stress, depleted motivation, and the worry that things may never improve. You might feel disconnected from yourself, your work, or your relationships—and that’s where I can help.
​
Through Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), we’ll explore what in your environment or mindset is fueling burnout, identify thought patterns keeping you stuck, and develop new strategies to navigate stress more effectively. We will also integrate mindfulness, somatic practices, and nervous system regulation techniques to help you reconnect with your body, calm activation, and restore energy and focus.
