Have you experienced tightness in chest, shortness in breath, rapid heart rate, upset stomach, or the urgency to go to your safe place? Anxiety can manifest into physical and emotional symptoms that can affect our thoughts, feelings, and sensations. We all experience different amounts of anxiety, and sometimes, it can be too difficult to manage and make one feel uncomfortable. Anxiety is one of the leading mental health concerns in Canada. Through evidence based research, counselling has been very effective for treating anxiety and panic. Learning ways to cope with the symptoms of anxiety can help manage anxiety so that it doesn't control us.

Anxiety and stress are sometimes helpful responses and can carry important information for us about our current lives. However, they can also be overwhelming and come with sensations that are difficult to tolerate. I can help you learn techniques to soothe your body, regain balance, and address the mind chatter that may be perpetuating your anxiety.

Anxiety and Stress both need to be assessed thoroughly. I use many of the assessments that were provided to me by Dr. Burns when I took his training in Cognitive Behaviour Therapy (CBT). As well, I use Cognitive Therapy approached by Robert Leahy. Between Burns and Leahy, I have close to 200+ techniques to structure a healing pathway. In addition, I have found Eye Movement Desensitizing and Reprocessing (EMDR) extremely useful, very long term recovery method for the treatment of anxiety/phobias/panic attacks/worry/and stress.

Through a multi-faceted approach, clients' anxious thoughts and feelings are explored without judgment. I work on helping clients to take small, purposeful actions toward their core values despite their anxiety. Additionally, we explore the stories that the client tells themselves about their anxiety, empowering them to reframe these narratives and regain a sense of control. Together, we also uncover and begin to understand any parts of the client that are activated by anxiety. My goal is to help my clients to cultivate greater emotional flexibility and resilience to help them navigate anxiety in a way that aligns with their true self.

Anxiety is actually our "friend", that is alerting us to something we need to pay attention to. So, anxiety first needs to be listened to before "managing" it. We could be feeling anxious because of medical reasons or past traumas are being triggered. Stress, on the other hand, is something we do need to "manage". If we don't manage stress, it will manage us. It is important to occasionally consider how much stress we actually are carrying and figure out what can be reduced or eliminated. We have only so much energy available to us to spend on our own unique load of stresses. So stress management is really about energy management.

Most people do not like feeling anxious or stressed. People are not saying I am glad to be stressed or anxious. What do we do when this happens. We need to process it and for most people counselling is a place for processing. Along with processing stress and anxiety comes a deeper longing to to be heard and validated and to sometimes be given new skills or strategies. What ever you need whether an ear to listen, heart to understand or ideas for coping with it I can provide it in comfortable environment.
