Burnout Therapy for Changemakers in Colorado Springs

Support for leaders, helpers, educators, and creatives who are tired of carrying it all.

You’re the steady one. The brave one.

The one who speaks up, shows up, and holds space—even when your own heart is breaking.

You advocate, educate, organize, protect.
You rally when others retreat.
You care deeply, love fiercely, and fight for a more just world.

But what happens when the weight gets too heavy?

When you're running on empty, it's easy to forget that you matter, too.
That exhaustion isn’t failure—it’s a signal.

Who’s a changemaker? 

You are—if you’ve ever tried to make the world a more just, kind, or livable place for others.
Whether you do that through your job, your art, your volunteer work, or your quiet everyday resistance—you’re someone who cares deeply and acts on it.

You might be a:

  • Social justice advocate

  • Nonprofit leader

  • Union organizer

  • Teacher

  • Community organizer

  • Queer or trans activist

  • Artist

  • Or anyone holding space for others

If you’ve been showing up, speaking out, or tending to others in a world that rarely returns the favor—this space is for you.

You’ve been giving your energy, your voice, your heart—to causes, to communities, to people who need you.

And somewhere along the way, you lost touch with your own needs.

You might notice:

  • A deep, bone-tired exhaustion that rest doesn’t fix

  • Feeling emotionally flat, disconnected, or numb

  • Guilt when you try to set boundaries

  • Creativity that once flowed now feels blocked

  • Cynicism about the work you used to love

  • A quiet ache wondering, “Can I really keep doing this?”

This is burnout—not because you’ve done something wrong, but because you’ve done too much, for too long, with too little support.

This Isn’t Just Tired— It’s Burnout

You’ve carried enough.

A Space Where You Don’t Have to Be “On”

No more pushing through.
No more pretending you’re fine.
This is a space to slow down, feel, and finally exhale.

Here, you don’t need to:

  • Explain why you're tired

  • Justify your boundaries

  • Apologize for needing rest

Together, we’ll explore:

  • What burnout has taken from you—and what’s still possible

  • How to reconnect with your nervous system and sense of self

  • The grief and anger that’s been living in your body

  • New ways to imagine rest, purpose, and creative recovery

Therapy with me isn’t about fixing who you are.
It’s about coming home to yourself—gently, and without apology.

Ready to come home to yourself?

Rest is Resistance.

In a world that demands your constant output, rest can feel radical.
But you weren’t meant to live in fight-or-flight.
You were meant to feel, to create, to breathe.

Burnout doesn’t mean you’re broken.
It means you’ve been trying to do the impossible—with too little care, and too much weight on your shoulders.

This is a space where you can lay it down.
Not forever. But long enough to remember yourself again.

And if words aren’t enough, creativity can help you find your way back. Learn more about expressive arts therapy.
