Stress, Post Traumatic Stress
Are any of these PTSD symptoms true for you or someone you care about?
Did you experience or witness a traumatic event?
Are you "stressed out" and overwhelmed most of the time?
Do you think about a traumatic event regularly and find it hard to shift your focus to other things?
Are you stressed out to the point that you are compromising your health, spending less time with family and friends, or are no longer doing the things you enjoy?
Do you have problems focusing or concentrating since the traumatic event?
If one or more of these are true for you or someone you care about, you may want to consider counseling for severe stress or symptoms related to post traumatic stress.
Would you like to..
- Better manage and cope with stress.
- Reduce feelings associated with post trauma event.

- Regain a new sense of personal power and control.
In my empathic counseling services use of a holistic approach that includes mind, body, spirit, and community is used when working with stress and post traumatic stress symptoms.
During counseling we work together to expose challenging thoughts, beliefs, and complex emotions related to stress or a traumatic event as well as discussion of body chemistry. I strive to make sure my counseling service is supportive, encouraging, and understanding.

- Process and explore issues from the past and present.
- Explore and express feelings in a safe way.

Is now the time for stress and post traumatic stress to change?
Your enjoyment of life or the life of someone you care about does not have to stop because of stress or a traumatic event.
It is common for people to experience feelings of stress and difficulty after experiencing or witnessing a traumatic event, but if you are concerned about HOW long your symptoms have been going on and how it is affecting your life then consulting with a professional counselor can be helpful.
I have 20 years experience working in mental health, crisis, trauma, and hospice and would welcome the opportunity to serve you.
Ready for change?
If you are ready to not have stress and post traumatic stress rule your life or the life of someone you care about contact Joy at 503-309-1163 or email at .
