Stress can come from so many sources in life. I am happy to help clients create a plan of how to understand and manage the stress that impacts them most.
Stress is a normal part of life. When stress becomes unmanageable, it impacts your body, mood and behavior. I can help you learn new ways to cope, take better care of yourself and understand the cognitive and physiology component that keeps the cycle going.
I approach stress management with a multifaceted treatment approach integrating Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Psychodynamic Therapy, and Person-Centered Therapy. Through CBT, I help clients identify and reframe negative thought patterns, while Psychodynamic Therapy uncovers underlying unconscious conflicts contributing to stress. Complementing these, Person-Centered Therapy provides a supportive and empathetic environment, empowering clients to explore their feelings and develop self-compassion, ultimately fostering resilience and emotional well-being.
Having a healthy work/life balance helps decrease your overall stress. Together, we will look at your current life stressors and determine what life changes will help eliminate your stress and/ or learn different coping mechanisms to help alleviate your stress level if changes aren't possible.
I work with culturally diverse individuals and families that are experiencing depression, anxiety, stress, life transitions, low self-steem and much more.

Stress comes from fear. Fear is fear of a threat. The best approach to stress is to learn to reduce the threat. If you don't feel threatened, you feel safe and relaxed. I can show you how to do that.
I have over 15 years experience supporting clients from a holistic and integrative framework focused on mental, emotional, physical, and spiritual wellbeing. I work with my clients as a guide and a teacher to help facilitate change and the ability to cope with the many life stressors and challenges that we all face such as work-life balance, parenting, depression, anxiety, anger management, multicultural and diversity needs, skill development, and more. I am here as a resource for you to ensure you have the care and services that you need!
You’re not perfect; you can’t control the universe; and you have limits. Viewing stress through the lens of these truths is often a relief, and therapy can encourage you as you get ready to make positive changes.
Overwhelmed? Feel like there is never enough time? Your "to do" list is never completed? You have high expectations of yourself and don't feel like you are measuring up. Reaching out to talk to someone about it is a first step off the hamster wheel!
