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.

Claudia Owens Shields
Psychologist, M.A., Ph.D.
I help clients cope with stress and anxiety by changing their "thought habits." Stress and anxiety often come from being more focused on undesirable events that might happen, rather than what is happening right here in the moment. I use a set of mindfulness exercises that, when practiced regularly, can significantly reduce stress and anxiety.

Damon Dodge
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT
Before becoming a therapist, I myself was a driven professional in a high-pressure environment. Traveling constantly and 60+ hour weeks were the norm. No matter how hard I worked, it never felt like enough, which led to burnout and a lot of self-doubt. That’s when I went to see a therapist—when I knew the way I was handling work just wasn’t working. In that process, I learned a lot about the things I was doing that made a tough situation even harder on myself. I learned how to take responsibility for my part in my struggles, while setting limits with work and eventually finding a career that was more congruent with my values and celebrated what makes me ME. By rediscovering and leveraging your strengths, you can learn to enlist the resources needed to tackle your current opportunities. Building on your best qualities can drive your professional growth and get you to the next level.

Philip Starkman
Registered Psychotherapist, MSW, RSW
In my practice, I offer a compassionate and holistic approach to managing stress, recognizing it as a universal experience with unique personal impacts. By integrating techniques such as Mindfulness, the Emotional Freedom Technique (EFT), Internal Family Systems (IFS), Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and Role-Playing. I also emphasize the importance of exercise and nutrition as key components of stress management. Regular physical activity and a balanced diet play crucial roles in reducing stress levels, improving mental health, and enhancing overall well-being. In addition, I recommend Tai Chi and Yoga as forms of relaxing meditation in movement. Mindfulness practices encourage a present-focused awareness and acceptance of stressful feelings without judgment, while EFT provides a method to lessen emotional distress. Through CBT, we work on identifying and challenging stress-inducing thought patterns, and IFS allows clients to explore and harmonize internal conflicts. Role-playing prepares individuals for stressful interactions or situations, equipping them with strategies to remain calm and collected. My role is to support you in uncovering the root causes of your stress and to empower you with effective coping mechanisms, fostering resilience and a sense of calm in the face of life’s challenges. Together, we aim to transform your relationship with stress, enhancing your overall well-being and quality of life.

Lila Wallace
Marriage and Family Therapist, MA, LFMT
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.
