FAQ Section
Can relationship problems really cause chronic emotional overload ?
Yes. Relationship distress is one of the most significant contributors to chronic stress. Ongoing conflict, emotional disconnection, or feeling unsupported keeps the nervous system in a heightened state of alert, which can lead to anxiety, burnout, and physical symptoms over time.
Is stress management therapy different from couples therapy?
Stress management therapy often overlaps with couples therapy when stress is driven by relationship dynamics. For many clients, addressing communication patterns, emotional safety, and conflict directly within the relationship leads to more effective and lasting stress reduction.
Should we seek couples therapy if overwhelm is affecting our relationship?
Yes. If stress is contributing to frequent conflict, emotional distance, or decreased intimacy, couples therapy can help identify the patterns fueling stress and create healthier ways of relating.
Do you offer burnout counseling for individuals as well as couples?
Yes. I work with both individuals and couples. Individual therapy often focuses on stress related to relationships, emotional regulation, and personal boundaries, while couples therapy addresses shared relational dynamics.
Do you offer stress management therapy via telehealth?
Yes. I provide therapy to clients throughout California via secure telehealth, in addition to in-person sessions in Westlake Village, CA.
