Stress
Hayden Dover
Marriage and Family Therapist, MFT, CST
Stress often reveals where life has become overloaded, misaligned, or difficult to sustain. I work with stress by looking at the whole pattern: the body, emotions, relationships, responsibilities, choices, and the pressure to keep functioning even when something needs attention. My approach combines practical tools, body awareness, existential reflection, and positive psychology to support more steadiness, clarity, resilience, and a life that feels more workable and meaningful.

Matthew Weisskopf
Psychologist, PhD
I can teach people important skills to manage stress in their life that focuses on the role of thoughts, beliefs, emotions, and behaviors, and their role in the stress process. Addressing these aspects of stress, combined with the utilization of various relaxation techniques can be very helpful.

Stress
Vince Heyman
Marriage and Family Therapist, MA, AMFT
Chronic stress can feel relentless, causing your mind to spiral, keeping your body tense and on edge, and leaving you exhausted or overwhelmed. Often, stress is fueled by high expectations, an overwhelming mental to-do list, or the pressure to control too much at once. Over time, this can drain your energy, strain relationships, and make everyday life feel heavy.
In therapy with me, we’ll explore how these patterns take hold, learn practical ways to quiet the mind and reset the nervous system, let go of the pressure, and confidently navigate challenges. Together, we’ll create space for clarity, steadiness, and a more sustainable way of living.
