Anxiety and stress can be consuming and prevent people from living their fullest lives. I offer practical treatment to help people learn to manage and reduce feelings of anxiety for a more peaceful day to day life in which emotions and fears do not take over. Clients learn to challenge and reduce their anxiety with my support and guidance and learn calming techniques, thought challenging, and emotion management. Learning healthy ways to cope with stressful situations is also a priority. There are both physical, mental, and emotional benefits to managing and reducing stress and anxiety, e.g., reduced blood pressure, reduced muscle tension and aches, a sense of calmness, confidence, and so on.

Anxiety and stress are natural responses to life challenges, but when they become persistent, they can interfere with one's daily life and lead to various physical and mental health problems. Anxiety is a feeling of excessive worry, fear, or apprehension, which can cause sweating, shaking, rapid heartbeat, and restlessness. On the other hand, stress is the body's reaction to pressure or demands and can cause irritability, fatigue, difficulty concentrating, and insomnia. Many factors can trigger anxiety and stress, including external events, personal relationships, work pressure, financial stress, and health problems.

We all experience stress and anxiety from time to time, but sometimes the anxiety response can be exaggerated or over-activated which can interfere with our daily functioning. When anxiety gets to that point, it is no longer adaptive and needs to be addressed. Through a combination of identifying triggers, understanding how your thoughts influence your feelings, behaviours, and physical sensations, and developing effective coping and relaxation strategies, therapy can help you manage your anxiety and stress better and help you regain control of your life.

Dealing with stress and anxiety can be a challenge for many and navigating GAD, SAD and OCD can feel like anxiety has the upper hand. There are many coping strategies available to help with anxiety. Research has shown that CBT can be as effective as medication (Source: APA Div. 12 (Society of Clinical Psychology). I use a blend of CBT and ACT to help with anxiety both of which are research-based and proven to be effective for many people.

Stress, Anxiety, and phobias can leave you feeling immobilized and powerless and unable to cope well. I can help you develop sound strategies to reducing your symptoms, help manage them, and to eradicate some of these from your life. I have successfully done so using the following modalities: Hypnotherapy, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, Mindfulness Techniques, and Energy Therapies, and using strategies that promote neuroplasticity which have helped to change distorted thinking and feeling patterns.

For many of us, our stream of life is interrupted by events that are so stressful and scary that they create lasting change. This can be a single incident such as an assault or accident. Or, it could be recurring incidents that take place in the course of our work. It could also be trauma in our earliest years from our caregivers or in our first relationships. If you feel that something from your past is impacting your current life, trauma and stress focused therapy may be a good fit for you.

In these unprecedented times in our lives many of us are dealing with feelings of great uncertainty about our individual future and how to handle and cope with life changes. Repetitive thoughts are often aligned with anxiety. Anxiety has a cyclical pattern and unless it is interrupted it will run its course, causes overwhelming feelings of fear and despair. Through a compassionate and observational lens reducing stress and anxiety will cultivate focus and clarity. Learning to connect to our senses is very grounded and can quickly break the anxiety cycle and help bring us back to our own center. Book a free consultation to see if we are a good fit.
