Don't let your life be ruled by anxiety and stress when there are effective and proven psychotherapy treatments that can help. I specialize in providing Cognitive-Behavioural Therapy (CBT) for anxiety, worry, stress, and anxiety related disorders. I have seen many individuals begin to feel a sense of relief and calmness in their lives after treatment.

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.

Anxiety is an emotion that can be felt within the body and often triggers physical symptoms. Worrying about future events or having a reaction to current events or fears can be a common form of anxiety. At the Reflection Centre, our team of professionals, work with you to identify your thoughts, feelings and behaviours that feed anxious thoughts. Our goal is to teach skills and strategies to help you manage anxiety as well as assist you in changing anxiety provoking thoughts.

If you're struggling with anxious thoughts, you may find it hard to focus. The fight or flight alarm is going off in your brain, constantly sending you messages starting with "what if...." If worrying is keeping you trapped in a hamster wheel, tired, but unable to rest, you may find yourself turning to addictive substances or behaviours to cope. As an addiction counsellor, I help clients cope with the anxious thoughts keeping them trapped in addictive behaviours. By uncovering these underlying thoughts, I help you develop coping skills so you can gain a sense of focus, clarity, confidence, and freedom from constantly overthinking. Send me a message and I'll guide you through the next steps.

I’ve been helping people lead more intentional lives for over 20 years.

I’m trained in cognitive behavioral therapy, developmental models,and anxiety and depression management. I will support you in creating a set of tools to help you manage your anxiety. Most importantly, you're a distinctive person, with distinctive needs. My goal is to work with you as a unique individual, and focus on YOUR goals.

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.

If life were a video game, anxiety would be the boss at the end of each level. We might hide from it, or run from it, but sooner or later we're gonna have to face it. Like any heroic tale, we seldom start at the beginning and jump right to the end. Along the way we'll make sure you're equipped with the tools needed to confront even the most intimidating and powerful adversaries. Plus, what journey would be complete without help from trusted advisors and friends. No hero does it alone, and I look forward to joining you on your worthy quest.

Every emotion has a purpose, including anxiety. For some, anxiety can be too much for some, and it can manifest in many different ways.
