Burn out, rage, and soul fatigue.
You’ve done everything you were supposed to do. You’ve kept things functional, held it together for everyone else, and pushed through the exhaustion.
But underneath, your system is running on empty.
True burnout is more than just feeling tired after a long week. It is a profound, systemic depletion—a feeling that your vitality has been entirely compromised by the relentless demands of your career, your family, or your community. When you are the "steady one" who always adapts, your body eventually forces a pause through physical collapse, a quiet undercurrent of resentment, or an overwhelming sense of doom.
This is for you if:
You feel an acute sense of "soul fatigue"—a deep, cellular exhaustion that sleep, vacations, or weekends off can no longer fix.
You are experiencing uncharacteristic irritability or rage, feeling raw and easily triggered by minor disruptions, loud noises, or the needs of others.
Your body is absorbing the weight of your stress, manifesting as persistent muscle tension, heartburn, gastrointestinal distress, or chronic physical tightness.
The thought of your workplace or professional demands leaves you feeling panicked, trapped, or wondering if you are even in the right career field.
You cope by withdrawing or "suffering in silence," keeping quiet about how much you are struggling because asking for help feels like an admission of failure.
A Somatic and Relational Approach to Burnout
Standard burnout advice usually tells you to practice better time management, take a vacation, or download a mindfulness app. But when exhaustion has settled deep into your cells, you cannot simply "self-care" your way out of a physiological collapse. Traditional talk therapy can often keep you looping in your thoughts, explaining why you are tired, while your nervous system remains entirely stuck in a defensive state of survival contraction.
In our sessions, we don’t treat your burnout as a professional failure or a time-management problem to be quickly optimized. Instead, we use a gentle, body-based (somatic) and relational framework to safely tend to a depleted system. By learning to read the quiet somatic signals of nervous system overload, we create a clinical space where your body can safely transition from defense to rest, allowing you to internalize a baseline of core stability, genuine pacing, and vitality.
Tending to the Whole Cycle
While our immediate priority is always to cool the fires of your physical and emotional exhaustion, true recovery from burnout rarely happens in isolation.
As we begin to clear the fog of fatigue, we will gently look at the surrounding pillars that may be keeping this cycle alive: Anxiety & Self-Doubt: The internal engine of perfectionism and hyper-productivity that makes it feel terrifying to stop or rest. Cultural & Internalized Pressure: The deep-seated ancestral expectations, family-of-origin dynamics, or survival roles that condition you to prioritize the needs of everyone else over your own.
We take care of your immediate exhaustion first. Then, when you are ready, we look at the roots.

about MY APPROACH
Rooted in curiosity and collaboration, and guided by deep respect for the wisdom your body carries, my approach supports high achievers, caregivers, and people who want to loosen the grip of inherited pressures and live by their own rhythm.
Especially those navigating the weight of cultural expectations, intergenerational pressures, and the quiet cost of always holding it together.
I work with Asian and Asian American professionals and others who feel burned out, anxious, or caught between who they were taught to be and who they are becoming.
Together, we attune to what has been quieted, care for what has been overextended, and create space for a way of being that feels grounded and self-honoring.
One that honors both where you come from and what you are ready to choose now.
