Stress is commonplace at work, home, anywhere really and some people say they thrive under it. Stress that isn't managed well can also be very damaging to mental and physical health and can lead to burnout. I can help you understand what is making you feel stressed and set boundaries to reduce that stress. Then when you have a better understanding of yourself, I can teach you how to better manage stress in the future.
Unresolved stress can really hit hard for folks dealing with addictions, relationship bumps, or depression. Take work stress, for example. When it piles up, some people might turn to alcohol or drugs to deal, which can lead to addiction struggles. Others might notice their relationships start to strain as they try to handle all the pressure. And to top it off, high stress levels can make depression symptoms even worse, making it tough to handle everyday stuff. If someone's going through major stress, I'd aim to create a safe space for them to chat about what's going on. We'd talk about ways to cope that don't involve substances, like exercise or spending time with friends.

Often we’re able to adapt to our new circumstances with relative ease. Other times, changes in life push us to the limits of our resilience. Therapy strengthens our natural resilience by helping us adapt more flexibly to unexpected or undesired life changes in the future.
Stress can expose limitations in our psyches, bodies, and communities we may have never knew existed. In therapy, we try to understand how stress is affecting your ability to cope and help build enduring strategies for dealing with new stressors. We work toward developing more flexible and intentional responses to life’s demands, and by doing so, make stress more manageable moving forward.
