Feeling Burnt Out in Austin? You’re Not Alone

Whether you're stuck in I-35 traffic, juggling multiple gigs, raising a family, or just trying to survive another heat wave—Austin life can be demanding. Add in the pressure to keep up, stay connected, and always be “on,” and it’s no wonder stress starts to take a toll.

If you're feeling overwhelmed, irritable, exhausted, or like you’re always one step away from shutting down, stress therapy can help.

What Is Stress Therapy?

Stress therapy is more than just venting about your problems. It’s a focused, collaborative process where we unpack the mental, emotional, and even physical weight you’ve been carrying—and figure out what you actually need to feel better.

In our work together, we might explore:

  • What’s draining your energy (and how to reclaim it)

  • Nervous system regulation and calming practices

  • Boundary setting and people-pleasing patterns

  • Perfectionism and productivity pressure

  • Burnout from work, school, or caregiving

  • Trauma that keeps your body stuck in fight-or-flight

Why Austin Brings a Unique Kind of Stress

Austin is vibrant, creative, and full of opportunity—but that also means it’s fast-paced, expensive, and sometimes overwhelming.

Clients in Austin often tell me:

  • “I’m doing everything ‘right,’ but I still feel empty.”

  • “There’s so much going on, I never feel like I can slow down.”

  • “I feel like I have to be okay all the time, or I’ll fall behind.”

Stress doesn’t mean you’re failing—it means you’ve been doing too much, for too long, without enough support.

That’s where therapy comes in.

What to Expect in Stress Therapy

As your therapist, I’ll never hand you a one-size-fits-all checklist or tell you to just “breathe and journal more.” Instead, we’ll figure out what’s actually going on beneath the surface.

You’ll get:

  • A calm, compassionate space to be honest about what’s hard

  • Tools for nervous system regulation and emotional resilience

  • Support in building a life that aligns with your values (not just your to-do list)

  • A therapist who listens, reflects, and doesn’t rush the process

All sessions are virtual, so whether you’re in Hyde Park, South Congress, Mueller, or out in the Hill Country—you can show up from the comfort of your home.

Who I Work With

I support teens, college students, young adults, professionals, creatives, and parents across Austin who are navigating:

  • Chronic stress and burnout

  • Anxiety or overwhelm

  • Life transitions (new jobs, breakups, big decisions)

  • Parenting pressure and mental load

  • Compassion fatigue

Many of my clients are neurodivergent, highly sensitive, or simply feel like they don’t fit into the hustle culture mold. Therapy is a space where we get curious about your stress—not blame you for it.

You Deserve Support (Even If You Think You Should “Handle It” Yourself)

Here’s the truth: you don’t need to be in crisis to start therapy.

If you’ve been sighing more, zoning out, picking fights, or feeling like you’ve lost touch with yourself… that’s enough of a reason to reach out.

Stress therapy isn’t just about “coping”—it’s about healing. It’s about reclaiming your energy, your joy, your time, and your sense of self.

Let’s Talk: Schedule a Session

If you’re in Austin and looking for a stress therapist who gets it, I’d love to meet you. I offer virtual sessions across Texas, with a free 15-minute consultation so we can see if we’re a good fit.

You don’t have to carry this alone. Let’s make space for rest, clarity, and support—together.
