You worked hard to become a doctor.
If it feels unsustainable or not what you pictured, you’re not imagining it, and you’re not alone.
Are you wondering, How long can I keep doing this? We’ve worked with hundreds of physicians who have asked themselves the same thing, and found a way forward.
Burnout makes a career less sustainable
Burnout is a clinical term for something that can feel very personal. It encompasses emotional exhaustion, cynicism, and the feeling that nothing you do really amounts to much.
But burnout exists on a spectrum. On one end, you’ve kind of lost that loving feeling. On the other, you feel a pit of dread when you think about going to work.
This isn’t just about how the job feels. Burnout is associated with physicians reducing their professional effort, considering leaving their jobs, and actually leaving them. It can change not only how you experience your career, but how long you want to stay in it.
And when you’ve felt that way for long enough, it’s easy to assume this is simply what being a doctor feels like. Or that there’s no way out other than leaving medicine. It can also feel like you’re being blamed for a problem created by the system. Let’s be clear: many of the things driving physician burnout are systemic. But the system isn’t the only variable.
You still have agency in how you approach your work, how you design your workday, the habits and mindset you bring to it, and how you craft a job that aligns with how you want to live.
I’ve seen this again and again coaching physicians: even when many of the systemic challenges persist, the experience of work can be dramatically different.
And the evidence backs that up.
What does the evidence say?
A six-session coaching engagement over five months, backed by a Mayo Clinic randomized trial, measurably reduces burnout.

How we work together
We talk
We start with a conversation about what’s going on, what you want to change, and whether coaching is the right fit.
Self assessment
Before our first session, you’ll receive a copy of Supranormal: A Field Guide for the Impossible Job and complete a self-assessment to identify where you’re thriving and where you may be struggling. This helps us decide where to focus and where to begin our work together.
We work
Six 60-minute, one-on-one sessions over five months, focused on the specific challenges you’re facing.
Action + accountability
Every session ends with something concrete to put into practice. Between sessions, you try it in the real world, and we build from there.

What Your Colleagues Say
What this is all about
I specialize in helping doctors who still love the work but are drowning in everything around it. My job is to help you not only stay in medicine, but actually like it again while you’re doing it. Let’s be honest, you could probably grind it out in perpetuity, but that’s no way to live a career. If you want to make a concerted effort to work on what’s challenging you, I’ve got your back.
