“I was the very worst version of myself.”
Looking back on my experience with full-blown burnout, I realize that I had lost the parts of myself I loved most. I wasn’t playful, fun, or caring. Instead, I was short-tempered, reactive, and constantly on edge. The people around me started to pull away—and I can’t blame them. I was living in a perpetual state of depletion.
My wake-up call came from my mom. Have you ever watched someone’s heart break for you? I have. I saw it in her tear-filled eyes and heard it in her voice as she urged me to find a way back to myself—to a healthier, happier version of me. That moment changed everything. With the help of a professional, I began my recovery, and piece by piece, I found my way back to joy.
Now, my calling is to help others do the same.
For 20 years, I’ve researched and developed a new approach to burnout, career longevity, and wellness. I don’t believe burnout can be avoided entirely, but I do believe we can learn to navigate and recover from it in a sustainable way. Burn events and feelings of burnout are part of the human experience—not something to feel ashamed of. Instead of fearing burnout, we can prepare for it, respond to it, and build resilience through daily rituals and self-awareness.
I work from a person-centered perspective, meaning our time together is focused on you—your goals, your needs, and your well-being. My methods are rooted in the Steiner Self-Reflection Sustainability and Wellness (SSRWS) Model, helping you observe and identify burn events and the subtle signs of burnout before they take over.
Together, we’ll create a personalized wellness plan that supports your recovery and long-term well-being. Through nervous system regulation, self-reflection and intentional practices, you’ll learn how to integrate sustainable strategies into your everyday life—so that when burnout happens, you’ll know exactly how to navigate your way back to balance.
