Stress is a reaction that people go through in response to situations, thoughts, or emotions. Many things can trigger stress, such as work, family, illness, relationships, or existential concerns. Stress also can be a good thing, such as when a person receives a new job opportunity, or they’re about to become a parent. When people experience large amounts of stress, their physical and mental health can suffer if they don’t care for themselves.
Available Treatment Options
Stress is a factor in nearly all mental health concerns, so it’s no wonder there are many counseling interventions to address stress. Therapists work with each person to assess their stress level and establish coping mechanisms that work for them. Alleviating stress can also decrease the negative effects of mental health concerns, working to improve the overall quality of life.
Therapists Who Specialize in Helping Those Who Struggle With Stress
My approach to therapy is rooted in the belief that who you are makes sense. Even when your emotions, behaviors, or relationships are extremely different than what you want them to be, I believe that our feelings carry wisdom, our behaviors serve a function, and our current situation becomes clear in the context of our whole story. With this stance of curiosity and acceptance, I can help you...

Sometimes we just feel “stuck.” Sometimes we know we want to grow, but we just don’t quite know how.

I offer counseling that is down-to-earth, collaborative, funny at times, and focused on exploring who you...
Our life journey is all about the ups and downs, the unforeseeable paths that throw us off balance. Have you felt there is no hope or no end to your troubles? Have you been in pieces in your relationships due to finances, infidelity, work issues, and constant arguments? How many of us are quietly unhappy and lonely in our relationships? Why do I wake up sad and alone and cannot explain it? Thin...
Most of the families or individuals coming to me over the years have hit a rough patch of circumstances --- or a life cycle period that presents challenges for them. Together we attempt to find workable ways of coping as well as creating new strategies to bring about change. I was a preschool teacher in a parent cooperative school for 25 years early in my career. I still consider couples, young...

I believe that one primary role for a counselor is to hold on to hope when you believe there is no hope and to help people find strength and courage in times of vulnerability. When people consider working with a therapist often it is because they have begun to feel lost, or alone, or confused. And, when facing hard things like divorce, death of a loved one, addiction, trouble at work, difficult...
