Stress is a normal part of today's society-and it is slowly killing us. Stress can be the precursor to more significant Mental Health issues and can disconnect you from friends and family. I will help you explore and change the emotional components of stress, and help you release the physiological build up. Stress is approached with curiousity and without judgement. It is seen as both an emotional and physiological issue.

I approach stress and it's related problems from an Adlerian perspective. This means that I help my clients recognize that the tools needed for coping with stress are a combination of understanding themselves better (from a psychological viewpoint) and accessing their strengths. Stress is a normal part of life but when it becomes overwhelming it's a sign that we have an unsolved problem in our lives. I work to inject hope that solutions are within their grasp and that they have the ability to change a situation, or if that's not possible, to change the way they view it.
Stress is a normal response to life's demands, and especially in today's society, it's becoming more and more common. But chronic stress has very negative impacts on both your mental and physical well-being. Behavioural symptoms of stress include eating more or less, sleeping too much or too little, with drawing from others. Physical symptoms of stress include but is not limited to aches and pains, nausea or dizziness, chest pain or rapid heart rate. Emotional symptoms of stress includes but is not limited to feeling overwhelmed, loneliness and isolation, anxiety, depression. Therapy can help you find healthy coping mechanisms to the stresses that come with life. Getting rest, learning to relax, exercising, and connecting with people are only a few of the many ways.
