Millennials face a significant burden of mental health disorders, with approximately 1 in 5 experiencing such issues. In fact, Millennials are often referred to as the “Burnout Generation". Factors like economic instability, social media influence, and academic pressures uniquely impact Millennials compared to older generations. Anxiety and depression are the most common diagnoses among Millennials. Unfortunately, despite the prevalence of mental health concerns, only about 35% of Millennials seek therapy.
Millennial career professionals face an elevated risk of addiction and anxiety due to the high-pressure dynamics of modern workplaces. The constant connectivity, demanding work hours, and intense competition can lead to chronic stress and burnout, increasing susceptibility to anxiety disorders. Moreover, the accessibility of substances and the tendency to rely on them as coping mechanisms in the face of stress further heighten the risk of addiction within this group.
The drive for success in a rapidly changing job landscape, coupled with the fear of lagging behind, amplifies the psychological strain on Millennial professionals. Blurred boundaries between work and personal life, typical of the digital era, compound the challenge, making it difficult to unwind. Recognizing these challenges, both individuals and employers should prioritize mental health support, promote work-life balance, and foster healthier ways of managing stress to counteract the prevalence of addiction and anxiety.

My Approach
Virtual therapy in a judgement-free zone.
As a therapist, I believe therapy is as individualized as shoes are. Styles, functions and sizes are different for each person. That’s why I combine several different evidenced based treatment approaches to fit your needs. This often includes:
Cognitive Behavior Therapy (CBT)
Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT)
Seeking Safety
Mindfulness
Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT)
Eco-Therapy
Therapy doesn’t have to feel awkward, stuffy or uncomfortable. This is your space to laugh, cry and do a little healing along the way.
