When your work life weighs on your well-being, it’s time for support that sees the whole you.
What Career & Work Stress Can Feel Like
Work is more than a paycheck — it’s often tied to your identity, stability, and sense of purpose. So when something feels off, it can impact everything.
You might be feeling:
Whether you're questioning your path or dealing with a toxic workplace, these feelings are real — and worth exploring.
We live in a culture that often ties our worth to productivity — and tells us to “just push through.” But when your career becomes a source of anxiety, confusion, or self-doubt, pushing harder doesn’t help.
You might be navigating unrealistic expectations, cultural or family pressure, discrimination, or internal conflict around what success means for you.
Therapy gives you a space to explore all of this — without judgment, and without needing to have it all figured out.
This is about more than work — it’s about your life, your choices, and your well-being.
Whether you're at a crossroads, overwhelmed by work stress, or just tired of feeling stuck — our sessions are a place to untangle what’s weighing on you.
Some sessions may focus on clarity and direction; others on emotion, identity, or boundaries. You don’t have to bring polished answers — just your honest questions.
Together, we’ll shape a path that fits your values, not just your résumé.
“Let’s make space for what you really want — not just what you’re ‘supposed’ to do.”
