Unique Pressures Faced By Business Owners
Entrepreneurs and business owners carry an incredible amount of responsibility: clients, staff, finances, strategy, innovation, and often the emotional weight of everyone who depends on you.
You might look successful on the outside but feel anxious, overwhelmed, tired, or deeply alone underneath it all. There is usually no “off switch,” just another decision to make.
Being a boss does not mean you are bulletproof. Therapy can help you hold it all differently.
THERAPY AND COACHING FOR BUSINESS OWNERS & ENTREPRENEURS
What I Help Business Owners Address
Worry about performance, money, or the future of the business
Perfectionistic standards and fear of disappointing others
Feeling like a fraud despite real accomplishments
Difficulty slowing down or turning off “work mode”
Burnout, chronic stress, and decision fatigue
Isolation, resentment, or relationship strain due to work pressures
Struggling to separate your identity from your business
If anxiety feels especially front and center, you can also explore my anxiety therapy for high-achieving professionals page. If “never enough” is a core theme, my self-esteem therapy for high-achieving women and perfectionism therapy pages go into more depth on those patterns.

My approach to therapy for entrepreneurs and business owners
As a therapist for business owners and high-achieving entrepreneurs, I understand how isolating, overwhelming, and relentless the journey can feel. Together, we create a space where you do not have to have it all figured out, where you can be honest, vulnerable, and supported.
We might focus on:
Identifying the beliefs that keep you overworking or people-pleasing
Practicing boundaries that still feel aligned with your values
Learning tools to calm your body when the stakes feel high
Redefining success so it includes your health and relationships

Juggling multiple roles in Burlington
I offer entrepreneur-focused therapy that meets you where you are, practically and emotionally.
I’m a small business owner too
Running a business is not just what I help others with. It is what I do every day. As a solo entrepreneur myself, I know what it is like to carry the vision, make the decisions, and feel the pressure to always perform.
I have navigated many of the same emotional ups and downs my clients describe: self-doubt, late nights, big risks, and the weight of wanting to get it right for everyone.
That lived experience shapes the way I show up in our work together. You will not have to explain what it means to run a business. I already get it, and I am here to help you build a version of success that includes your mental health too.
Therapy Treatment Modalities
I incorporate a unique combination of evidence-based treatment approaches to help business owners enhance their mental health, while navigating the stressors of entrepreneurship.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT):
We’ll identify and challenge unhelpful thought patterns that may be affecting your performance, leadership, confidence, and success as an entrepreneur.
Acceptance & Commitment Therapy (ACT):
ACT therapy helps you stop fighting uncomfortable emotions and avoiding uncertainty, two common patterns for business owners under chronic stress. Instead, you’ll learn how to move forward with clarity and purpose by accepting what’s outside your control and staying grounded in your core values.
This approach can reduce nervous energy, improve emotional resilience, and help you build a life and business that feel more aligned, meaningful, and enjoyable.
Internal Family Systems (IFS):
IFS therapy helps you explore and work with the different “parts” of yourself that may be affecting your mindset, leadership, and performance as a business owner and entrepreneur. These parts might include the inner critic, the overachiever, or the part that feels like a fraud, which are common internal voices for business owners facing imposter syndrome and burnout.
By working with a trained clinician, you will learn how to better understand and heal these parts so you can lead from a more grounded, confident, and compassionate place, both in your business and your personal life.
Positive Psychology:
We’ll work on identifying and amplifying your strengths, building resilience, and creating a sense of fulfillment, not just success, in both your business and personal life.
Mindfulness:
Mindfulness is a way for you to learn how to become more aware of your thoughts and emotions, as well as your reactions. This practice aids in stress reduction, increases focus, and supports more intentional grounded work decisions.
Running a business is a unique, time-consuming, and often overwhelming experience that few truly understand. Incorporating evidence-based practices into your daily routine, like grounding exercises, meditation, diaphragmatic breathing, and Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction (MBSR), can be very beneficial. Mindfulness skills support your mental clarity, boost performance, and lower the risk of burnout.

ANXIETY
Article: No Need to Worry? Anxiety and Coping in the Entrepreneurship Process
Neil A Thompson, Marco van Gelderen, Laura Keppler
Entrepreneurship can be exhilarating, as well as very stressful. If you're a high-achieving business owner, you might find yourself juggling constant decision-making, financial pressure, and fear of failure. A 2020 study published in the Entrepreneurship Research Journal found that entrepreneurs are particularly prone to anxiety, driven by traits like perfectionism, chronic self-doubt, and over identifying with their work (Thompson et al.). These patterns aren’t just exhausting, they’re treatable. Therapy for business owners and entrepreneurs offers a safe space to identify the root causes of stress, build emotional resilience, and develop tools to stay focused and grounded, without burning out. Whether you're scaling your business or struggling behind the scenes, therapy can help you thrive from the inside out.
