"There is never anything but the present, if one cannot live there, one cannot live anywhere." ~ Alan Watts
I use Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) principles (Defusion, Expansion, Connection, the Observing Self, Values and Committed Action) to give you tools to be fully present in the here and now.
Some of my current favorite books about life in general that deal with stress:
The Happiness Trap: How to Stop Struggling and Start Living: A guide to ACT: the mindfulness-based program for reducing stress, overcoming fear, and creating a rich and meaningful life by Russ Harris
Untamed by Glennon Doyle
Daring Greatly by Brene Brown
Tuesdays with Morrie: An old man, a young man, and life's greatest lessons by Mitch Albom
Quiet: The Power of Introverts in a World that Cannot Stop Talking by Susan Cain

Licensed Professional Counselor, MS, LCPC
Stress reduction seems to be a universal need in today's world. Workers struggle to meet rising employer demands, sometimes for less compensation. Students find themselves with less time but more expectations. Parents are expected to provide children with expansive, enriching and educational experiences while often balancing a marriage, career, and self care. Life can feel overwhelming. When people get overwhelmed, it can be difficult to stay on schedule, prioritize, make decisions, maintain friendships or meet expectations. Social media and technology make us more able to connect yet people feel more isolated than ever. The result is often sleep problems, lack of concentration, irritability, lack of planning, depression or anxiety. Psychotherapy can offer an uninterrupted, focused time to gather thoughts, identify goals and learn skills to make life run more smoothly so that you can thrive as well as survive.

Dr. Nicole Parkes
Psychologist, PsyD
I offer a sanctuary for those weighed down by the burdens of stress. I understand how stress can quietly seep into every crevice of life, clouding judgment, straining relationships, and overshadowing joy. With a blend of empathy and expertise, I work with clients to uncover the sources of their stress, whether they lie in the chaos of daily life, professional pressures, or personal challenges. Our collaborative journey is about more than managing symptoms; it's about cultivating a sense of inner calm, resilience, and balance. Together, we will navigate the complexities of your stressors, transforming them into opportunities for growth and peace, allowing you to reclaim a life defined not by stress, but by serenity and strength.
