I provide a calm, supportive space where clients can explore the triggers and patterns behind their anxiety. I help clients understand the physiological and emotional components of anxiety and equip them with practical tools to manage stress in healthier ways. Through personalized strategies such as mindfulness, relaxation techniques, and cognitive restructuring, clients will learn to reduce anxious thoughts and build resilience. My approach empowers clients to regain control over their lives, experience greater peace, and develop lasting coping mechanisms for future stressors.

External stressors cause internal reactions as a survival mechanism. Fight, flight, freeze! being tense and constantly hypervigilant is exhausting and often leads to the development of fatigue and generally unhelpful habits (working too much, drinking too much, eating too much, using anger to obtain what we and then feeling guilty & ashamed). Learning to relax, have fun and enjoy life on its own terms is critical. To help people accomplish this task, I start with providing education about what happens physiologically when we are under stress. Then, I teach CBT based strategies including confronting unhelpful thought patterns, exposure and connecting with and processing difficult emotions.

We all experience anxiety and stress from time to time. Stress from life cannot be eliminated but it can be ameliorated. Through psychoeducation I can teach you how stress and anxiety are adaptive and life saving. You can learn how to get out of your caveman brain and move into pre-frontal cortex brain to relieve symptoms of anxiety. I can teach you about anxiety responses: fight, flight, freeze and fawning, and how not to fear these anymore. Don't forget to breathe!

Stress and anxiety are normal responses to the pressures and constraints of everyday life. They can be helpful signals to us to slow down or to introduce some lifestyle changes. For some people, these simple changes do not alleviate the stress and anxiety. I work with my clients to explore any thinking they may be engaging in (CBT) or exploring other lifestyle or relational issues which may be problematic and work with them to manage the anxiety/stress through relaxation techniques, mindfulness, or lifestyle changes, and explore whether referral to their family doctor might be beneficial.

Anxiety, and the stress it produces, is a fear-based emotion. It is often based on irrational thoughts about the idea of situations going badly or having gone in ways that seemed worse than they may be. It can also relate to interactions with persons who are frightening or intimidating or also persons who we wish to impress. The resulting stress can produce a range of emotional and physical responses. Anxiety can be controlled and reduced when it's causes are understood. Some anxiety - also known as nervousness or anticipation is normal and can be beneficial. It is important to understand the difference between what is managable and what is an detrimental level of anxiety.

Anxiety is our body’s way of getting us ready for action, getting us ready to fight or flee in a given situation which, while helpful in keeping us alive, can be very unhelpful when it negatively impacts our ability to live our daily lives. I work collaboratively with clients to explore how anxiety and stress show up in their lives, and to strengthen and develop strategies to minimize the impact they have on living the life you want to live. Book a free consultation to learn more about my approach and explore if we are a good fit.

Do you feel overwhelmed? Does anxiety and worry prevent you from living the way you would like? Counselling can give you a safe space to freely communicate and process your emotions. Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) is the most popular therapy for anxiety disorders. It has been shown to be highly effective in helping people with both generalized and social anxiety.
