ABOUTÂ ME
TELL ME IF ANY PART OF THIS SOUNDS FAMILIAR…
Veterinarian-turned Stress & Burnout Coach for High Achievers
I remember standing in the treatment area, watching my coworkers rush around in chaos. They were just doing their jobs, but I stood frozen, thinking:
“Is this it? Is this what work is supposed to feel like?”
Moments earlier, a colleague had asked me a totally valid question. I smiled and answered politely—but in my head, I was screaming, “WTF. Why are you even asking me this? I’m doing the work of three people here!”
Between writing records, taking calls, and answering nonstop questions, I scarfed down carb-heavy junk at my desk—just one of many stress habits that led to a 50+ pound weight gain and a mountain of misery.
Months later, looking back, I finally realized I had been smack dab in the middle of burnout—slowly smoldering feelings of resentment, frustration, irritability, and exhaustion, while also simultaneously teetering on the verge of emotional and physical collapse.
I had been working as a small animal veterinarian in private practice for nearly 10 years when I decided I needed a change.
I was convinced the answer was going out on my own as a full-time relief vet. It was terrifying—but also exhilarating and necessary.
So I jumped. And for a while, it worked.
I had freedom, flexibility, and made more money.
Life was better…
Until it wasn’t.
Those same feelings crept back in—frustration, mental and physical exhaustion, irritability, and raging anxiety that practically hindered my ability to work (can you say imposter syndrome?!).
I was REALLY good at internalizing stress, hiding it, and handling trainwreck after trainwreck in an extremely busy 24-hour ER.
But on the inside, I was unraveling. Again.
Even after years of therapy, I couldn’t break the burnout cycle.
After a lot of inner work
I realized it didn’t matter WHERE I worked or WHAT I did (I mean, in relief work, I named my price and picked where I wanted to go—how much easier can it get?!).
If I didn’t change how I handled stress and overwhelm, I’d end up right back in the same place.
I UNCOVERED MY ROOT CAUSES OF BURNOUT
The hidden patterns and habits that were silently running the show, like:
Overthinking
Shift from constant overthinking to clarity and calm with simple tools that actually work.
Â
Racing thoughts
Quiet the mental chatter and feel more present, focused, and in control.
Â
Once I Healed Those And Retrained My Brain To Process Those Stressors Differently, Everything Changed.
Â
I could finally turn my brain off after work.
No more 3 a.m. overthinking spirals.
No more Sunday Scaries.
I enjoyed my job again—and for the first time, I knew what life–work balance actually felt like. (Yes, I intentionally say life first.)
Now, I help other high-achieving, overwhelmed humans do the same.
I coach people who are anxious, exhausted, and stuck in the cycle of wake up → work → eat → sleep → repeat.
Because that’s not living.
You weren’t put on Earth just to survive.
I help you get clear about what’s really driving your burnout—and whether you need to stay and make changes, leave entirely, or rebuild from the ground up.
