The pressures of life can make it difficult to thrive and feel emotionally regulated. My goal is to help you find what you need to feel that you can manage the stress of life and feel empowered to overcome whatever you face on a daily basis. Having a space in therapy to process experiences outside of your daily life can ease the pressures of life and find emotional regulation and balance.
I have worked with clients dealing with various levels of stress and anxiety for over 18 years in various settings from foster care, hospital, non profit and private practice.

The pain you are experiencing is not who you are, it is a message that shows what's out of balance. So much suffering is due to stress, anxiety, depression, and emotions that feel out of control. When they show up in the body &/or mind as symptoms, we are being called to change, to create a life of ease and relief from our critical inner voices and demands. I believe that we all have a natural capacity to heal, given the right conditions to safely and gently come to know our true selves. I hold a supportive container with compassion and experience to allow your highest aspects to come forward and shine.
Stress is a part of daily life, but when stress interferes with daily life it may require some form of intervention. Looking at a person's stress, level, sources of stress, a person's mindset as it relates to stress, as well as coping skills management techniques helps to pinpoint areas for improvement. Deconstructing stress in this way and filling any gaps with healthy and stress management practices assist client's to regaining the ability to effectively navigate stressful situations and alleviate the impact of stress on their daily lives.
Managing stress involves recognizing and addressing the physical, emotional, and psychological tension experienced when facing challenging or demanding situations.
Stress is so pervasive today that we sometimes forget it’s not a natural part of how humans function. I can help you understand what stress means in your mind and body and how to make better choices with that in mind. Although a certain amount of stress is useful, a feeling of being overwhelmed is not.
Stress doesn't have to take over your life. Understanding the driving pressures, anxieties, and fears in your life that contribute to compounded stress is the start. I work in a mindfulness-oriented approach to help self-regulate and cope with stress.
