               LIVING A HEALTHY,
                 BALANCED LIFE
           IN A STRESSFUL WORLD

Does your life feel out of balance? Do your work and family responsibilities leave you feeling tired, irritable and rushed? Do you have physical or emotional symptoms that seem to be stress related?

If you answered "yes" to any of these questions, then stress counseling could be a first step toward restoring health and balance to your life.

Benefits of Stress Counseling

Stress counseling provides a safe, supportive atmosphere for you to consider physical, mental, emotional, spiritual and relationship factors that affect the quality of your life.

During our stress counseling sessions you will have an opportunity to:

    • Evaluate your life---determine what is working and what is not
    • Discover that your symptoms are opportunities for growth
    • Learn about proven stress management techniques
    • Create an action plan for making positive changes in your life
    • Identify resources that will support you in making the changes you want

By increasing self-awareness and identifying practical, positive changes, stress counseling can help you to:

    • Build the foundation of a healthy, balanced life, and
    • Acquire "metaskills" for effective dealing with future challenges.

My Background

I have provided stress counseling in my private practice for nearly 30 years, and I taught stress management classes in corporate and educational settings for over 10 years.

In addition to my private practice, for 9 years I was the staff psychotherapist for SRI International (formerly the Stanford Research Institute). While at SRI I offered stress counseling and created a stress management curriculum, designing and teaching stress management classes for employees. As part of the curriculum, I created an 80-page stress management handbook.
