Sometimes, because of early life experience, traumatic events, losses and/or cumulative stressors, we get stuck, and this shows up as stressful feelings, fearful thought patterns, anxiousness, and panic. Through a body-centred or somatic approach it is possible not only to find greater "okayness," but also a greater sense of vitality and creativity. All people (and nervous systems) have the capacity to find greater balance and to befriend and discover the body as a source of healing.

Life in St. John's is busy. Expectations are high and as a result anxiety rates in Newfoundland are rising. Counselling provides individuals with the opportunity to identify triggers that are causing them stress and anxiety. By identifying unique triggers, individuals are provided with skills and knowledge regarding how to cope with those areas that are causing feelings of anxiety.

When working with clients struggling with anxiety and stress, I emphasize self-care and relaxation. I help clients to understand that they are not defined by their current state of mind. I incorporate concrete strategies to teach new skills and coping techniques. Clients benefit from learning to focus on the moment, instead of the past or the present.
