Stress is prevalent due to many different factors. Stress can cause depression or anxiety, anger, irritability, restlessness, trouble sleeping, constant worry, and much more. Through CBT, DBT, ACT, TFCBT, and solution focused therapy, we can find healthy coping skills.
I practice an integrative approach for the treatment of anxiety that will be tailored to you and your specific concerns. Whether your anxiety is driven by certain situations, stemming from the stress of current daily life, or deeply woven throughout your life, we can address it through a combination of somatic approaches, cognitive- behavioral techniques, and a thorough exploration of the root cause.
I have experience treating both chronic and situational stress. I have worked with people experiencing stress related to high pressure career/educational pursuits, relationship/dating concerns, medical illnesses, and life transitions.

What is Stress?
Stress is your body’s physiological response to a threat. Also called the “fight or flight response”, stress enhances your reflexes, strength, focus and endurance when your body releases cortisol and adrenaline into your bloodstream. These hormones measurably increase your heartbeat, blood pressure, and breathing rate, while also tightening your muscles and sharpening your senses.
Well versed in feeling stressed or on the verge of burnout because you overwork yourself to show you're dedicated to your job, yet also sacrificing your mental well-being as a result? Learning how to find balance in work and life is a key essential to live a life of vitality. Let's work together to help you achieve the balance you desire!
Stress is a part of life... but sometimes it can become overwhelming. Stress takes many forms - it can be an important life transition such as the adjustment from college to a career or a cross-country move. It can also take the form of relationship conflict, family tension, or just feeling burnt out. Therapy can provide a space to problem solve and work to minimize the impact that stressors have on your happiness and functioning. Using an empathic, supportive, and solution-focused approach, my role is to work collaboratively with you to determine practical steps to create positive change and manage stress.
Life is filled with stressful experiences. We can work together to process through painful experiences and identify healthy methods for navigating stress.
We all struggle with stress at various times within our lives, sometimes more than others. I work with clients to look at utilizing different coping skills to help manage the stress, alleviate symptoms and strive to improve overall functioning with less catastrophizing and more progress with better self-care.
I have a passion for helping clients reduce anxiety, stress, confusion, sadness, and pain - so that they can live more fulfilling, authentic, and happy lives. Many of my clients have stated that coming to therapy has helped to catapult them out of their stagnation - enabling them to reach their full potential. For clients who have had difficulty finding a therapist who can understand their complex and intersecting identities, I can be a breath of fresh air. I work with folks ages 15 and up.
