Performance Advisory & Burnout

Your strategic sparring partner and psychological support for navigating challenging times.

Burnout Prevention

These sessions provide a supportive environment for professionals experiencing the early signs of burnout, whether it’s emotional exhaustion, ongoing disconnection, or a sense of depletion. Having experienced burnout as a senior executive in consulting, I understand firsthand how difficult it can be to recognize, admit, and address the early signs. Facing the reality of burning out can be a humbling experience. But an honest discussion in a safe space can prevent a deeper setback.

I offer guidance addressing immediate and next steps for professionals. Drawing on my research of burnout at Harvard and other principles grounded in psychological and workplace dynamics, this method helps shift thought patterns, behaviors, and overlooked protective mechanisms. The focus is on actionable support, particularly helpful for professionals in environments where waiting for change isn’t a realistic option.

Typical needs addressed:

  • Reclaiming a sense of self and focus amid ongoing demands

  • Managing persistent tiredness, irritability, or restless sleep

  • Finding renewed purpose, a sense of belonging, and motivation

  • Preventing day-to-day stress from escalating into lasting burnout

  • Creating healthier routines that support both performance and resilience

Post Burnout Recovery

Returning to daily life and professional responsibilities after burnout can feel daunting, even after the immediate crisis has passed. My approach offers practical support as you rebuild confidence, reshape your professional identity, and adapt to new routines that reflect your current needs and priorities.

What sets this support apart is a unique blend of psychological insight and deep understanding of workplace realities. While therapy often focuses on analyzing the past, this approach centers on immediate, psychology-based guidance for the challenges you face in your work and life today. You don’t have to navigate this transition alone.

Typical matters addressed:

  • Returning to work, communicating with your team and management, and managing responsibilities at a steady pace

  • Setting new ways of functioning that protect your well-being

  • Rebuilding confidence, motivation, and professional satisfaction

  • Defining and living out a renewed sense of personal and professional identity

Career Coaching

Career coaching is grounded in my own experience, such as moving across cultures, building a career as a minority and single woman, and advancing in male-dominated industries, supported by advanced education in psychology and human behavior. I work with professionals facing critical transitions, including career change, relocation, job loss, or complex team challenges. By understanding the drivers behind motivation and behavior, I help identify opportunities for support, develop meaningful relationships, and take practical steps to achieve your ambitions.

Participants develop the ability to:

  • Adapting to new cultures and professional norms during international relocations

  • Building self-advocacy and resilience as a minority or single woman

  • Navigating job loss, career reinvention, and complex team environments

  • Establishing credibility and influence

  • Finding mentors and sponsors who support your ambitions

  • Understanding motivation and human dynamics to drive sustainable career growth

About Burnout

Burnout is more than a clinical concept; it is a deeply human experience that touches the very core of our sense of self and purpose. In psychological research, we often see burnout as the slow erosion of energy, motivation, and joy that can occur when our emotional resources are stretched beyond their limits. In short, when what we believe in has been overcompromised for too long. It often manifests not only as physical and mental exhaustion but as a sense of disconnection from the activities and relationships that once brought meaning and fulfillment. The world once known and liked seems out of reach.

What makes burnout so profoundly challenging is that it can quietly reshape the way we see ourselves and the world around us. Underneath the symptoms, there is often a quiet longing to feel seen, belong, and appreciated. Recognizing burnout means acknowledging the weight we carry and honoring our values that have been discounted for way too long.

Why to act now

In my practice, I often see that burnout is misunderstood, not as a personality defect or a clinical problem, but as a deeply human occupational challenge. People blame themselves when, in reality, the roots of burnout often lie in societal or occupational settings, and the pressures related factors create. It is not that organizations are indifferent or unwilling to act, but rather that they genuinely do not know what would make a meaningful difference. This uncertainty can leave individuals feeling isolated and unsupported, even though the need for change and understanding is greater than ever.

My approach is structured around four pillars:

  • Identity

  • Values

  • Ambition

  • Environment

Together, we look closely at how your professional identity aligns with your values, how ambition is shaping your choices, and how your environment is influencing both your performance and your well-being. This is about building stronger self-awareness, restoring a sense of agency, and making decisions that are both strategic and sustainable for your life as a whole. My role is to offer a clear perspective, honest dialogue, and discretion, so you can examine the real drivers behind your burnout and choose a way forward that fits who you are and what you want from your life and career.

Recovery from burnout becomes longer and more complex the longer you wait to address it. Even after experiencing burnout, healing and rediscovering a meaningful way of living is possible, though it calls for patience and gentle support. Change can begin at any stage, and you do not have to navigate this on your own. My methodology is compatible with psychotherapy and provides a focus on occupational matters. With care and guidance, you can gradually return to a life where you feel connected to yourself, engaged, and able to experience moments of genuine satisfaction again
