55% of Americans are stressed during the day.

This is 20% higher than the world average of 35%.


(Gallup, 2019)

Working with stress in therapy, we get underneath the surface symptoms. We learn how to work with the causes of stress, and we learn practical ways to deal with it. We introduce research-based techniques for lowering stress levels, such as mindfulness exercises. 

My clients have found that our time together: 

Allowed them to relax more at work, helped them to be more present, and to be able to communicate in a calmer way. This helped them to be more effective at work, and ultimately to reduce stress. We work on creating clear boundaries between work and personal time. You will learn to slow down your thoughts, and find healthy motivation, replacing unhealthy habits like over-caffeinating, drinking alcohol excessively, unhealthy eating, and escape techniques such as social media and binge television watching. 

When I work with my clients on creating freedom from their stress, I notice that they are struggling with many of the same issues:

• Anger

• Headaches

• Annoyance during conversation

• Short temper

• Inability to focus over long periods of time

• Sleep problems

• Procrastinating

• Failed attempts at multitasking

• Difficulty making decisions and prioritizing

• Loss of hope

• Lack of structure in life

• Lack of healthy activities
