Stress Therapists in 98109

Boundaries, communication, self-advocacy are my specialities with adult clients. Many of the clients I see begin therapy with a good amount of insight into what's going on with them but uncertainty and confusion over what to do about it or what to change. Many struggle in their social or romantic relationships, managing work related stress, or say they feel depressed, stressed, or sad. Often, they may be doing very well in one or more areas of their lives but struggle to feel their best in another area.

I enjoy helping my clients find their unique strengths and building on them in a confidential and supportive setting. I feel it is important for people to gain understanding and insight into behavior patterns that are creating problems in life and learn how to change them. I also work with clients to enable them to find a satisfying work/life or school/life balance. I utilize cognitive behavioral and brief solution focused therapy.

I specialize in working with adults experiencing: stress, anxiety, burnout, life transitions, grief, and adjustment to illness. I utilize CBT supplemented with research-informed tools from MBSR and biofeedback.

When too much is too much and nothing seems to be working, therapy is an excellent place to start. We all respond to stress differently. Some common ways are lethargy, persistent thoughts, impulsive actions, body aches, or insomnia. You may apply words like depression, anxiety, or trauma to those symptoms which can feel big and scary. Therapy is where you can fully show up with any of it. Therapy contains the things that feel out of control and once a week or more you have a safe place to bring yourself authentically.

I work with men on the internal issues that are showing up in their lives. When relationships fray, affairs or divorce happens, layoffs, depression, stress, anger or numbness rear their ugly heads - it can be time to stop and figure out what needs to be addressed. As a man - a father, a son, a husband, a brother, a friend myself - I am acutely aware of the internal worlds of men, and the external rules that often keep us from talking about what is going on inside.
