Featured in Project Healthy Minds: How to Calm Down in Any Situation

I’m excited to share that I was recently featured as a contributor in Project Healthy Minds’ latest article, How to Calm Down in Any Situation.

The piece offers practical, evidence-based techniques to help you find your calm in moments of stress — tools I often use with my own clients. From grounding exercises to breathwork to naming your emotions, these strategies can be life-changing when practiced regularly.

When I was invited to contribute, I wanted to make sure the article didn’t just list quick tips, but gave people skills they could take into real-life challenges — whether that’s navigating a difficult conversation, feeling overwhelmed at work, or managing the ripple effects of trauma.

You’ll find techniques like:

• 5-4-3-2-1 grounding to anchor your mind in the present moment.

• Affect labeling — simply naming your emotions to reduce their intensity.

• Breath-based calming practices you can use anywhere.

I hope you’ll take a few minutes to read the article and try out the practices that speak to you. Sometimes the smallest shifts — one deep breath, one moment of awareness — can start to change everything.
