Physician Burnout and Career Coaching for Women Physicians

You can’t keep doing things this way.
But you’re not sure what needs to change.

You spent years training to become a physician. You care about your patients. But the work that once felt meaningful now leaves you exhausted, resentful, or wondering how much longer you can keep going.

Are you a physician who finds yourself wondering what will be the “last straw” that makes you walk away from the career you spent years training for?
Do you dread going to the office on Monday morning?
Do you find yourself dreading your call day?
Are you saying to yourself “I just can’t do this anymore” but you’re not sure what to do next?

It doesn’t have to be this way.

I’m Christina Adams, MD, an OB/GYN and physician coach. I help women physicians navigate burnout, make confident career decisions, and create more sustainable, fulfilling professional lives. You don’t have to decide today from a place of overwhelm. Let’s work together to figure out what you need and what your next step could look like.

About

I’m Dr. Christina Adams. And I’ve been where you are.

I'm an OB/GYN, physician coach, and a woman who has had to reconsider for myself what a sustainable career in medicine looks like.

I know what it's like to feel the weight of clinical responsibilities, to question whether the way you're working is sustainable, and to wonder whether the answer is to change your job, change your relationship with your job, or find a different path altogether.

I know how much medicine has changed and how much harder it feels to work in medicine now compared to when I first finished residency and began practicing 2 decades ago.

Coaching helped me recognize the patterns that were contributing to my stress, set boundaries, and make intentional decisions about my own career. It helped me see that I had more options than I realized.

Now, I work with women physicians who are navigating burnout, career dissatisfaction, and professional crossroads.

My approach combines my experience as a practicing OB/GYN with evidence-informed coaching tools to help you get clear on what matters, advocate for what you need, and take action toward a career and life that work better for you.

You don’t have to keep doing things the way you’ve always done them just because that’s what medicine has taught you to do.
