As a mindfulness coach, one of the most common complaints I hear from my coaching clients is that they're simply dealing with too much stress. Dr. Mike Evans, describes himself as a doctor/professor/person working to bring the best evidence-based health information out of the clinic to wherever you are. In his media lab, www.evanshealthlab.com, he creates YouTube videos that have been viewed by more than 10 million visitors. In his video above, he highlights the effectiveness of cognitive reframing and mindfulness techniques to change how you think about, and how you respond to your stress.

Changing your thinking is often the first step to transforming stress into an ally. Whether it's improving relationships, meeting sales goals, or planning more time to enjoy life, the oldest philosophies on the planet, and the newest technologies for scanning into the brain, confirm that healthy living requires us to respond carefully, thoughtfully, and with intention. Success in life means we are able to disengage from the thoughts and activities that inhibit our sense of satisfaction, accomplishment and belonging.

I am a trained, mental health clinical social worker with more than 25 years in the field and extensive training and supervision in emotional objectivity, mindfulness techniques, cognitive reframing, motivation and solution focused strategies and years of direct client contact with individuals seeking to improve themselves. My clinical experience includes anxiety and mood disorders, self-esteem, shame and vulnerability, addictions and abuse, eating disorders, emotional dysregulation, ADD, and relationship issues.

I have a range of tools and approaches I individualize for my clients to set clear expectations for our work and establish specific action plans that can enable them to realize those expectations.
