Therapy for Anxiety, Depression, & Burnout in Bergen County, NJ
Does this sound familiar?
You keep up with work, school, and family but feel drained, tense, and always on edge.
Your mind races with worries about the future, so you can’t relax.
You’re reliable and high-achieving—perfectionist, caretaker—but rarely take breaks.
You throw yourself into work, then come home to chores and feel overwhelmed, like you can’t keep up.
Sleep is stressful: you lie awake worrying or wake up exhausted even after eight hours.
You feel disconnected from others, your work, and yourself.
You feel guilty for being anxious or burned out when “everything should be fine.”
You want help but don’t know how to ask.
You feel like an imposter and have trouble accepting compliments.
Therapy for anxiety, depression, & burnout can help!
“Stress and overwhelm are signals, not failures. Listening to them is the first step toward resilience.”
— Peter A. Levine
Depression looks to the past. Anxiety reaches for the future. Neither can be changed. They are signs your mind and body are out of balance and need to be reunited.
As a Licensed and Board Certified Creative Arts Therapist offering therapy in NYC, Hoboken, Jersey City, and Bergen County, I specialize in helping high-functioning teens and adults who look successful on the outside but feel anxious, depressed, or burned out underneath. Therapy for anxiety, depression, and burnout provides a space to slow down, understand what’s happening beneath the surface, and begin feeling more grounded, emotionally regulated, and connected to yourself again.
You don’t have to wait until you completely crash to seek support.
How Anxiety, Depression, & Burnout Can Show Up
Anxiety, depression, and burnout affect your emotions, body, and daily life. In my experience, clients often notice:
Persistent worry or sadness – racing thoughts, feeling “stuck,” or low mood that makes it hard to enjoy life
Irritability, guilt, or self-criticism – blaming yourself for feeling overwhelmed or not doing enough
Physical tension or exhaustion – headaches, muscle tightness, fatigue, or feeling “wired but tired”
Difficulty focusing, sleeping, or completing tasks – even small responsibilities can feel impossible
Disconnection from yourself or others – feeling emotionally distant from friends, family, or work
Triggers that spike stress – deadlines, social obligations, or reminders of past experiences
These reactions are not a sign that something is “wrong.” They are your mind and body signaling that your nervous system is stressed or out of balance—and with support, they can be understood, regulated, and gradually restored.
Common Sources of Anxiety, Depression, & Burnout
Anxiety, depression, and burnout can arise from many areas of life, and each comes with its own challenges:
High demands at work, school, or home – long hours, heavy responsibilities, or pressure to perform
Perfectionism or self-criticism – feeling like nothing you do is ever enough
Cultural or family expectations – pressure to succeed or meet traditional roles
Major life transitions – moving, career changes, relationships ending, or shifts in identity
Unprocessed trauma or chronic stress – past experiences that continue to affect emotional and physical wellbeing
Therapy helps you address these challenges, build practical coping skills, and reconnect with your energy, focus, and sense of self.
My Approach to Therapy for Anxiety, Depression & Burnout
I provide trauma-informed, culturally responsive therapy in NYC and Bergen County, NJ. My approach is warm, collaborative, and tailored to your needs. I integrate evidence-based practices including:
Talk therapy to explore your thoughts, relationships, and emotional experiences
Art therapy to help you access emotions that are hard to put into words and support nervous system regulation
EMDR to process unprocessed trauma or chronic stress contributing to anxiety and depression
TF-CBT and DBT skills for practical tools, boundary-setting, and emotional balance
Psychodynamic and attachment-focused work to address deeper roots of burnout and perfectionism
We work at your pace—whether you want practical strategies, deeper emotional processing, or both.
How Anxiety, Depression, & Burnout Affect the Body
Our bodies carry stress in ways we often don’t notice until it feels overwhelming. In my experience, clients frequently notice:
Muscle tension and tightness – shoulders, neck, jaw, or back feel constantly stiff
Fatigue or low energy – even after rest, your body feels heavy or depleted
Racing heart, shortness of breath, or restlessness – feeling “wired but tired”
Headaches, stomach issues, or other aches – physical discomfort that seems to appear out of nowhere
Shallow or interrupted breathing – a sign your nervous system is on alert
Feeling disconnected from your body – numbness, zoning out, or feeling “not fully present”
These physical symptoms are not a sign that something is “broken.” They are your body’s way of communicating that your nervous system is overwhelmed and that stress, anxiety, or burnout has built up over time.
Body-based therapy approaches, such as somatic awareness, grounding exercises, and art therapy, help you tune into these signals, release tension, and rebuild a sense of safety and connection in your body. Integrating body-based practices with talk therapy allows you to process stress holistically—emotionally, mentally, and physically.
Anxiety, depression, and burnout show up differently at every age, but the impact can be profound. Teens may express stress through irritability, withdrawal, or changes in school performance, while adults often juggle work, family, and social responsibilities, leaving little room to care for themselves or process emotions.
