Stress therapists in Santa Clarita, California CA

We will teach you about the concept of the Stress-Threshold, which is the amount of stress a person can handle before they fold under the pressure of overwhelm. We use tools to help you identify your stress threshold and teach you how to set boundaries with yourself and with others in order to stay within your range of what and how much you can handle on a day-to-day basis. Our tools also help you identify what and when to let go of anything that doesn't fit into your priorities.  

In today's world, stress is all too commonplace. I will assist you with the necessary tools to help you manage stress.  

Stress is caused by resisting the moment as it is, which is unalterable; a moment is as it is and can only be that. The opposite of resistance is acceptance. Negative thoughts about the moment create negative feelings leading to changes in the mind and body. The work here is to look at these thoughts, look at resistance, and gain skills in accepting the moment as it is, good or bad.  

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.

Whether driven by external factors or your own perfectionism, stress takes a toll. A lot of high-stress people feel like they're functioning perfectly, until one unexpected thing brings it all tumbling down.

Let's work within your lived reality to manage the stressors you can't avoid, and support you in making the changes you can. If you'd like help untangling this, and mitigating the parts of your stress that are within your control, reach out. I look forward to meeting you soon!  

Everyone is impacted by stress. Together we can create solutions tailored for you to help support you in reducing your stress level.  

Music therapy can be effective in helping the individual to learn to recognize feelings and behaviors associated with stress and to express these emotions in positive, appropriate ways. Guided Imagery and Music (BMGIM) is a music-centered, consciousness-expanding therapy, during which, I, the therapist, choose classical music sequences that stimulate journeys of the imagination. Experiencing imagery in this way facilitates clients’ integration of mental, emotional, physical and spiritual aspects of well-being.
