What To Do When Work Isn’t Working

The impact of workplace stress can be significant, affecting your confidence, career trajectory, and overall health and wellbeing. I’m teaming up with Chelsey Reese, LCSW for an interactive workshop, where we’ll unpack root causes of workplace stress, explore why work stress takes such a toll, and discuss practical solutions to help you take action. We’ll share key differences between therapy and coaching to help you make the right decisions about your needs.

This workshop is designed to help you: 

• Understand the root causes of workplace stress, conflict, and burnout.

• Navigate professional challenges with clarity and confidence.

• Make informed choices about therapy, coaching, or combined support.

• Take practical steps to advocate for yourself and create meaningful change.

Walk away with actionable strategies, a clearer perspective, and tools to manage workplace distress - even in challenging environments. 

Who It's For

This workshop is for you if:

• Work is consistently causing problems like anxiety, frustration, resentment, or exhaustion
• You feel disconnected from your work - like it used to matter, but now it just… doesn’t
•  You know something needs to change at work, but you don’t know where to start, or having a hard time following through

• You’re trying to decide between therapy and coaching, but feel overwhelmed or paralyzed

• You’ve worked on it in therapy or coaching before, but didn’t make the progress you hoped for

• You’re unsure how to choose between the different styles of therapy and coaching

What You’ll Learn

See how coaching complements therapy to provide action-focused guidance and support.

4.  How to Decide What You Need. We’ll walk through questions and decision points that help you figure out whether therapy, coaching, or a mix of both makes sense for you based on your emotional landscape, practical constraints, and where you are in your process.
