Stress is inherent in life, but, particularly in our contemporary world, can be overwhelming and disempowering. Building a secure connection to what Jung referred to as 'the Self' allows one to better manage the multiple demands and challenges to our emotional stability that we encounter in our everyday lives.
Helping women and mothers to reduce and prevent stress long term is my specialty. With a combination of challenge negative thoughts, somatic strategies, as well as integrative wellness shifts my clients naturally decrease their stress.

To manage stress, I use a variety of modalities to address both external stressors and internal coping mechanisms. My goal is to build a supportive and inclusive space where you feel genuinely heard and valued. By incorporating humor and authenticity into our sessions, I strive to make our work together effective and approachable.

In our sessions, you can expect to gain practical tools and insights tailored to your individual needs. My aim is to help you achieve a greater sense of comfort and stability in your life. You will have the opportunity to explore and address various aspects of your mental health, including self-worth and mood.
Stress can have numerous negative effects on the body and mind, including increased risk of heart disease, high blood pressure, and mental health issues like anxiety and depression. It can also lead to sleep disturbances, digestive problems, and weakened immune function.
I can help people manage stress by providing a safe space to explore their feelings and develop coping strategies. Approaches such as CBT and mindfulness-based stress reduction (MBSR) can be particularly effective, as clients learn to focus on the present moment and accept their thoughts and feelings without judgment. This practice can reduce stress, improve emotional regulation, and enhance overall well-being.
Stress is a given in life. Suffering is not. I help people reduce distress and overwhelm in the context of a supportive therapy relationship and the integration of stress management tools such as breathing techniques, body-awareness practices, mindfulness-based practices and cognitive/behavioral therapies.
I have years of Mindfulness study, practice and personal retreats, with many Buddhist teachers especially at the Barre Insight Meditation Society, Barre Massachusetts not far from my home. I teach Mindfulness mediation and inner awareness to all clients.
Additionally, clients learn the deeper roots to stress and ways to realign with inner stability and balance. Eckhart Tolle states that "stress is caused by being here but wanting to be there." "Access the power of NOW and know that everything is happening FOR you not to you, and stress will dissolve." Words of wisdom. Email for free consultation call.
