Find balance during challenging life stages.
You may be ambitious, capable, and used to getting things done. But lately, you might feel like you're running on fumes. The line between your personal life and the endless demands of work, school, or family is blurry—or feels like it’s hard to find. You might look put-together on the outside, but inside, you feel tense, anxious, and deeply burnt out.
I’m Allie Evans, and I help adults, busy professionals, and teens not just cope with stress, but heal the roots of the issues that make them susceptible to it. We can work together to help you find balance and manage stress in healthier, more productive ways.
This isn't just about breathing and mindfulness exercises. It's about helping your nervous system understand that it’s safe to rest, safe to slow down, and safe to simply be enough in every moment.
Stress Management & Burnout Therapy in San Diego
Chronic stress isn't a badge of honor or something to brag about in hustle culture—it's a sign that your body and mind are locked in a survival mode. If you're a high-achiever, your stress often shows up differently than you might expect.
The Relentless Inner Critic: Feeling like nothing you do is quite good enough, driving a constant cycle of perfectionism and self-doubt.
Physical Exhaustion: Persistent headaches, neck/shoulder tension, trouble sleeping, or a constantly pounding heart, even when you’re relaxing.
Boundary Collapse: Saying "yes" when you desperately want to say "no," leading to resentment and emotional depletion.
The Burnout Spiral: Feeling cynical, disconnected from loved ones, or unable to enjoy the things that used to bring you joy.
If your stress is rooted in a need to achieve, perform, or please others, then the solution lies in understanding and healing the parts of you that learned to protect you this way.
