Stress Management
Because You Weren't Meant to Run on Empty
Life today moves fast and it expects you to keep up. The pressure to stay productive, meet deadlines, care for others, and still somehow have time to “recharge” can feel impossible. From work demands and parenting responsibilities to relationship tensions and daily chaos, stress can show up everywhere.
Even during the calm moments, it can feel like your brain won’t shut off long enough to catch a real break. That kind of constant pressure wears you down.
Stress Doesn't Discriminate
Neurotypical adults feel it. Neurodivergent adults feel it (often even more intensely, thanks to a world that wasn’t built with their needs in mind).
Here's what that might look like:
Trouble focusing or getting started on tasks.
Feeling edgy, irritable, or easily overwhelmed.
Exhaustion paired with restless sleep.
Snapping over things that normally wouldn’t faze you.
Thoughts that spiral when all you want is peace.
This isn't just part of being an adult. And you don't have to keep pushing through it alone.
When Stress Becomes A Health Issue
Stress isn’t just a mental load, it affects your whole body. When it builds up over time, it can start to wear down your physical health, too. You might think you’re just powering through, but chronic stress often shows up in sneaky, harmful ways.
Unchecked stress can contribute to:
Headaches, muscle tension, and chronic pain
Digestive issues and appetite changes
Fatigue and insomnia
Weakened immune system
High blood pressure and heart problems
Increased anxiety, depression, and burnout
Your body keeps the score, even when your mind tries to push through. That’s why self-care and managing stress isn’t a luxury, it’s essential for your well-being. Taking care of your mental health is taking care of your physical health, too.
You Deserve Support Before It Gets To That Point
Let’s work together to make life feel more manageable—mentally, emotionally, and physically.
Support That Meets You Where You Are
Stress management shouldn’t be one more thing on your plate, or another performance to keep up. You deserve support that actually works for your brain, your lifestyle, and your nervous system.
As a clinical psychologist, I help adults understand their own stress patterns and build strategies that reduce overwhelm without adding pressure.
Together, we'll work on:
Breaking out of the cycle of burnout and guilt.
Setting boundaries that protect your peace.
Learning how to decompress without zoning out.
Managing mental overload before it turns into shutdown.
Finding space for your needs, even in a busy life.
You don’t need to wait for a total meltdown to start finding relief. Small, intentional shifts can make a big difference.
This is not one-size-fits-all. Your stress is valid, and your path forward should be just as unique as you are.
Ready to Breathe Again?
Stress might be part of life, but that doesn’t mean it should control your day. When you’re ready to stop running on fumes and start feeling like yourself again, support it here.
