Hard working, successful, overthinking, goal-getter who is always chasing what is next—

01 — Experiencing burnout

You make it look easy but at the end of the day you feel too tired to do the things you enjoy or even spend the time to discover what those things might be. Burnout is more that jut the latest buzz word. Burnout can take on several shapes and sizes but many of the clients I work with describe feeling overwhelmed, unmotivated, fatigued, irritable, anxious, and withdrawn.

02 — Contemplating life changes

Many of my clients are high functioning and successful people who “should-ed” themselves to the top. They were told they “should” go to a good school, and “should” get good grades, and “should” pursue competitive careers, and “should” get married, and “should” start a family, and so on and so forth— and so they did, but now find themselves at the top with no idea how they got there or if that is even where they want to be. But where does one even begin figuring out what comes next when everything else has been pre-determined for you and you are left to decide what comes next for possibly the first time in your life.

03 — Living life on autopilot

One thing I hear a lot from my clients is that they feel like they are going through the motions. Many of those same high functioning clients report feeling disconnected from themselves and feel like they are watching their lives from the outside. By all accounts their lives are successful, and yet, not as satisfying as one might think given they have hit all of life’s milestones one “should” accomplish.

04 — Struggling with work/life integration

Whether you are just starting out in your career of have been there for a little while you find yourself struggling with being able to “do it all.” A lot of clients find themselves giving it all at work, giving it all at home, not having anything left in the tank to meet their own needs, and feeling like they are falling short in all areas despite their best efforts.
