In our busy lives, a lot happens, and we have little time to process everything we experience. Sometimes, we just need a space to make sense of what has happened in our lives. Stress can sometimes make it difficult to focus on what is important to us. We go on from day to day, not living our lives to our full capacity. With psychotherapy, we can begin to understand how these factors are impacting you and help you find new, more effective ways of coping. I can help you to create that space.
All of us have times when worries pile up, we face situations that seem impossible, and life feels out of control. There are proven ways of coping with stress and you don’t have to deal with it alone. Together, we will understand the stressors in your life. We will use evidence-based techniques to help you cope with the stress. By confronting your stress in a supportive environment, you can tap into your strengths and overcome the challenges in your life.
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 work with clients who struggle with Stress, anxiety, depression, trauma, relationship or family issues. During our sessions, we will collaborate to create a plan for addressing them that helps you get your life back. I practice from a Holistic perspective and commonly employ EMDR and other effective modalities with helping clients achieve balance and purpose in their lives and creative solutions to their problems. This includes exploring past issues and trauma that may be a factor presently.
Stress management is important to everyday functioning. At London Leaf Counseling, we explore best practice to promote relaxation and finding peace in the chaos.
Sometimes you just want to scream or you may feel so stuck you don't know what to do. Stress has a way of even crippling even the most resilient of us. Understanding how we perceive stress and finding out what we can do about it can be freeing. Consider booking a free 30-minute consult to explore more.
Recognizing that your emotional health and mental health are your power sources, you are in the right place, a safe place to receive deep support in making the necessary shifts towards relief.
As a licensed clinical psychologist specializing in stress, I offer compassionate and effective treatment for individuals struggling with excessive stress and its challenging side effects, including irritability, insomnia, and maladaptive coping strategies. Using evidence-based therapies like CBT, I tailor my approach to each person's unique needs, helping them manage stress more effectively and lead a healthier life.
My approach to working with stress involves integrating Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), and Somatic Experiencing (SE). ACT helps clients accept their stressors without judgment and commit to value-driven actions that promote resilience and well-being. EMDR is used to process and resolve traumatic or distressing experiences that may contribute to heightened stress, allowing clients to release their emotional hold. SE addresses the physiological impacts of stress, helping clients release stored tension and restore a sense of balance and calm. This comprehensive approach supports clients in managing stress more effectively, enhancing their emotional regulation, and improving overall quality of life.
