You can reduce stress or manage it productively by using some of these strategies:
1. Express your feelings….with friends, a counselor, write in a journal, compose a letter you don’t mail, write a poem or essay. Don’t be afraid to ask for help.
2. Do just one thing at a time. Prioritize the things you need to get done.
3. Take care of yourself physically through nutrition or exercise.
4. Know your limits. Focus on what is really important and learn to say no.
5. Watch how you talk to yourself and do not judge yourself. Reverse your negative ideas and focus on positive outcomes.
Stress is a huge 6 letter word that gets thrown around frequently, but how do we actually manage it? It isn't as simple as going to the spa or squeezing a stress ball. All of the resources I am trained in teaching people allow us to manage stress in a far more effective way. Stress management and self-care is essential, and the practice of that is something we can work on together. This wasn't something that was taught in schools, but that is okay, we can learn now.
I have over 20 years of experience with assisting individuals identify stressors, reduce stress and utilize stress manage techniques to promote a healthy lifestyle and improve relationships.
I have found that one of the greatest contributors to stress is in over-extending ourselves. We live in a society that values productivity and "staying busy". There is so much value in slowing down, in checking in with ourselves, in engaging in mindfulness. I will work with you on creating more balance so that you can reclaim your life, your mind, and your energy.

I believe that at times it is difficult for us to see things clearly. My goal is to help you re-adjust your way of looking at yourself and your world, and to help you realize what is possible. I believe that the most important aspect of therapy is the relationship that develops between you and me.
