Are you overwhelmed by stress and plagued by anxious thoughts? Do you struggle to manage daily worries and fears? Therapy offers the support, guidance, and tools to effectively cope with stress and anxiety. Together, we can uncover the root causes and develop personalized strategies for relief. Don't let anxiety control your life – take the first step toward a brighter, calmer future. Your mental health and well-being are invaluable. Let's work together to conquer anxiety and find peace in your daily life.
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. Managing stress may be about developing tools and techniques, it may be about changing some of the pieces of your life, or it may be about acknowledging that the culture we live in is inherently unjust and stressful. 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!
Stress is pretty much the hottest buzz word in mental health these days and that is for a good reason. Never have families and children been under more stress in their lives than right now. As a result, families are falling apart. Technology and screen time has filled the gap, which only contributes to an increased stress response in the brain. To help families manage this stress, we look closely at screen time in the family and gently bring in limits that make sense for the child's development. We carve out time for parents and children to play together to increase trust and connection. We also learn to practice self-compassion, which helps to build everyone’s window of tolerance. Most importantly, however, we go back and integrate primitive reflexes that are getting in the way of handling stress in a more consistent, regulated way. My primitive reflex integration work is a brain balance program that grows connections in the lower parts of the brain. This helps to create a foundation for a more resilient mind. So, together, we will get moving, have fun and grow some new connections.
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.
As a therapist specializing in stress management, I offer a supportive environment for individuals to explore and address the sources of stress in their lives. Together, we'll identify the triggers and underlying factors contributing to your stress levels. Using evidence-based techniques such as mindfulness-based stress reduction (MBSR), relaxation techniques, and cognitive-behavioral strategies, I'll help you develop effective coping mechanisms. We'll work on enhancing your resilience, improving time management skills, and fostering healthy boundaries. My goal is to empower you with tools to navigate stress more effectively, regain a sense of balance, and enhance your overall well-being. Let's collaborate on this journey towards managing stress and reclaiming peace in your life
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.
