What will we actually talk about first?

We begin with real situations that keep replaying after the day ends. The focus is clarifying what you were responsible for in that moment and what was outside your control so the mind can disengage.

What if I am functioning but exhausted inside?

Many clients are still performing well but cannot mentally switch off. Therapy focuses on closing ongoing responsibility loops rather than only managing stress symptoms.

Is this therapy covered by insurance in Ontario?

Yes. Sessions are psychotherapy with a Registered Psychotherapist and are covered by most extended health insurance plans in Ontario.

Do you offer online sessions only?

Yes. All sessions are secure video appointments for adults living in Ontario.

How do I know if this is the right fit?

You can book a brief consultation where we discuss what you have been carrying and whether this approach matches it. If not, I will suggest alternatives.

Burnout Recovery Coaching — Professional Help for High Responsibility Roles

Common Therapy Questions Answered

In the first session, we clarify what kind of burnout you’re dealing with. Many high-responsibility professionals are still functioning well but feel depleted, reactive, or disconnected from themselves. We look at patterns, pressure points, and what recovery actually needs to target. There is no pressure to commit.
We start with situations that keep replaying after the day ends.
We slow them down and look at what you believed you were responsible for in that moment. Then we sort out what truly belonged to you and what did not.

Some sessions are reflective, others practical. The goal is steadiness and clear judgment, not endless processing. If tools between sessions help, we use them. If not, we don’t.

Burnout therapy is for people who are still functioning but feel depleted, irritable, or disconnected from themselves. Many are in high-responsibility roles such as healthcare, leadership, caregiving, or professional work where others rely on them. You may notice compassion fatigue, loss of motivation, identity strain, or a sense that something is off even though you are still performing. Therapy helps you understand what kind of burnout this is and supports you in restoring clarity, steadiness, and your ability to act from your values.

I currently offer psychotherapy rather than coaching. Psychotherapy is a regulated health service that can address burnout, work stress, grief, trauma, identity loss, anxiety, and other concerns affecting emotional well-being and daily life.

My work is often practical and future-focused, so therapy may also include clarifying decisions, boundaries, values, work patterns, and next steps.

If burnout is affecting your well-being, relationships, work, or sense of self, psychotherapy is the appropriate place to start.

Therapy can help with burnout, grief, anxiety, identity struggles, and major life transitions. Many people seek support when they feel depleted, overwhelmed, or no longer like themselves, especially in high-responsibility roles. I work with caregiving burnout, compassion fatigue, moral stress, and questions around meaning, purpose, and direction. Using approaches like CBT, ACT, and narrative therapy, the work is practical, personalized, and focused on helping you regain clarity, steadiness, and a sense of yourself.

I provide online psychotherapy to clients located in Ontario. I am registered with the College of Registered Psychotherapists of Ontario (CRPO).

If you are located outside Ontario, please contact me before booking. I can confirm whether I am permitted to provide psychotherapy in your jurisdiction.

The length of therapy varies depending on what you are working on, how long the pattern has been present, and what you want to change. Some people come for focused work around a specific concern, while others stay longer to work on identity, relationships, grief, or major life transitions.

We review progress as we go and decide together whether the work is still useful. There is no fixed number of sessions you need to complete.

Getting started with online therapy is simple and done at your pace. First, book a free 20-minute consultation to ask questions and see if the fit feels right. If you decide to continue, you’ll schedule your first full session and complete secure intake forms through Jane App. Sessions take place by secure video and begin as a guided conversation with no pressure. Payment is handled after each session through the same platform, keeping the process straightforward.

I don’t bill directly to insurance, but many clients are able to submit receipts to their provider for reimbursement. Please check your specific insurance plan to see if psychotherapy or professional counselling is covered.

Burnout can involve exhaustion, irritability, difficulty switching off from work, reduced motivation, changes in relationships, and feeling disconnected from yourself. These experiences do not automatically mean you need psychotherapy.

Therapy may be worth considering when the strain is persistent, affecting your work or relationships, changing how you feel about yourself, or when the usual ways you recover are no longer helping.

What The Consult is For

Your free 20 minute consult is to clarify three things:

1. What kind of depletion this is
2. What kind of help you need
3. Whether I am the right fit for your situation

There is no expectation to continue. If another type of support fits better, I will say so.

You can take time to think afterward. No decision needed on the call.
