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.

“People are just as wonderful as sunsets if you let them be. When I look at a sunset, I don't find myself saying, "Soften the orange a bit on the right hand corner." I don't try to control a sunset. I watch with awe as it unfolds.”― C. Rogers I firmly believe that the reparative, and at times uncomfortable, experiences that occur in therapy translate to healing and a more fulfilling life. An...

My primary goal is to support clients to connect with their innate strengths and personal power. I believe we are all doing the best we can at any given time, and sometimes we lose sight of that. Kindness and understanding, with honesty and connection, is how I believe we get there. Without connection, we often become isolated, lonely, and depression and/or anxiety can set it. I am not able to...
"I can’t believe I did it again! Why do I always do this to myself?" "OK, I decided to stop drinking, now what?" Or “ I just want my kid to talk to me. I have no idea what’s going on and I’m worried.” Sound familiar? Being stuck in a cycle you want to break can bring shame or guilt that you are not enough, or not doing enough. You may have gone to therapy before and it helped, but you feel like...

In this journey we call life, we seem to accumulate experiences that define us and make us who we are. Through these experiences we develop a story, often after many drafts. Sometimes when we talk about our life it just doesn't sound or feel right because telling your own story can be scary. It can be useful to have an editor to help us to express ourselves. Therapy is an opportunity to be trul...
Thank you visiting my page. Anxiety can have a paralyzing effect making it difficult to make choices or to live your life to the fullest. The constant doubt can be exhausting and confusing.

I provide a safe and nonjudgmental space t...
