Restoring Balance
to Your Life’s Work
My Services
Christine Walker, LPC, NCC, CCSP
Licensed Therapist for Burned-Out Leaders and Senior Professionals in Connecticut.
Are you tired of grinding through office politics and dreaming about running away to a deserted island somewhere?
That’s a good sign that you need more than just a vacation.
You need work that doesn’t leave you counting down to Friday, or spending Sunday night with a pit in your stomach. Where you have energy left to play with your kids, to sign up for that yoga class, and to live your actual life.
Because you don’t want to dread the next 20 years.
The problem is, you’ve already tried the obvious fixes. You’ve tried setting boundaries, taking time off, switching teams. And none of it worked.
So now you’re asking yourself, “Do I need to reboot my whole career, or is there something I missed?”
That’s the question I help people answer.
Most burnout doesn’t come from workload.
It’s the physiological impact of reading between the lines of every interaction, preparing mental defenses for arguments that may never happen, and closely monitoring the emotional temperature of every room.
My blog explores how capable professionals develop this pattern and shows how much energy you can reclaim when it starts to shift.
If You’d Like to Talk
I provide therapy for leaders and senior professionals experiencing burnout caused by workplace abuse, chronic career anxiety, or leadership stress. You can schedule a brief consultation to share what’s going on and see whether working together makes sense.

How to Know If It’s Time for a Career Change
When work becomes unbearable, most of us think “I need a career change.” But sometimes you need a different job in the same field. Sometimes the issue is internal strategies making everything harder. Here’s how to tell which problem to address first.
What Working Together Is Like
People who reach out to me tend to know they’re capable. What they’re unsure about is why they’re so tired, and why work seems to take everything out of them.
