In lakewood, and online across colorado, Texas, New medico and Iowa
You can't afford to throw in the towel but you're not sure how you can go on.
You grew up being told you needed to work twice as hard to get half as much, and that people like you needed to reach excellence the whole time. You bust a gut at school, got every qualification and more, but now you’re firmly in the world of work, looking at decades ahead of you, you realise that your working patterns are totally unsustainable.
Work was never about getting luxury cars or designer watches. You simply wanted enough income to not have to worry about covering the bills and supporting your family at home and abroad, freeing you up to have a balanced life and do the things you love. But somehow you’re caught working around the clock and losing sight of the things that bring you joy. You’re running on empty, your performance at work is dipping, you’re snapping at your friends and family, and not finding time for dating or enjoying downtime with your partner. Plus the stress is starting to manifest in your body - you’re lethargic, getting headaches, aches and pains, and facing the added stress of healthcare bills.
Trying to make yourself fit into a working world that is geared towards white, English-Speaking, older men - is wearing you down. You’re tired of the microaggressions, being underestimated, undervalued and underpaid, and not experiencing genuine connections and a sense of belonging at work. You wish you could be more authentic and bring your full self to work, and find more balance and ease in your work-life, but that feels totally out of reach.
You’re tired of feeling caught in this cycle:
Working so hard to hold it together at work that your stress is leaking out and negatively impacting on your relationships outside of work.
Working longer and harder, and being so busy trying to fit into other peoples boxes that you lose focus of who you are and what really matters to you.
Feeling so burnt out that you running on automatic and can’t step back and see clearly anymore.
The only thing stopping you is when your body doesn’t play ball anymore and your stress turns to bodily symptoms.
how i can help
Biculturally-attuned couseling for work stress empowers you to see your options clearly.
There remains layer upon layer of social injustice in the U.S. and and being a bicultural working professional can carry huge additional stressors. Therapy can’t eliminate this but we can look at it together in a non-judgemental space where you can speak your truth and be truly heard without tone policing yourself.
The extra emotional labor you are having to put in to navigate all this is real, and you don’t have to carry this all alone.
Hustle culture makes no space for self-awareness. Counseling, however, creates a protected space in your week where you can step away from the grind and really attend to you. Share the load with someone who really gets it, and unlock healthy, empowering ways of navigating these stressors. We spend so much of our lives working, it’s time to start reclaiming ways to make it work better for you.

This really varies from person to person; there's no one-size-fits-all when it comes to counseling for work stress.
Some approach therapy as ongoing mental maintenance much like going to the gym regularly to maintain physical health. For others, just a few sessions makes the difference needed to cope and see their options more clearly.
Usually people require somewhere between six and twenty-four sessions to feel a significant difference in their lives.
