You will also learn how you can utilize your new skills to deal with problems/challenges in the future.

Fear is a situational-based, positive emotion that prepares us for a sudden and unexpected external event. Since fear is such a common emotion, its presence can often go from being connected to a specific experience (a baby crying, a car horn blowing) to something omnipresent and an overwhelming sense of anxiousness. Anxiety can cause us to feel shame, guilt, and worry because we do not believe we can stand up to the concerns that have brought it into our lives. Psychotherapy is a safe place to explore the causes of shame, guilt, worry, and anxiety. If you are ready to unpack your worry bag, I am here to help! Schedule a free 15-minute consultation to see if we are a good fit.

When it comes to treating anxiety disorders, research shows that therapy is usually the most effective option. That’s because anxiety therapy, unlike medication, treats more than just the symptoms of the problem. Meristem can help clients uncover the underlying causes of their worries and fears; learn how to relax; look at situations in new, less frightening ways; and develop better coping and problem-solving skills. Our approach gives clients the tools to overcome anxiety and teaches them how to use them. Since anxiety disorders differ considerably, therapy is tailored to our clients' specific symptoms and diagnosis.

Anxiety and stress are relentless adversaries in life. They can manifest as a racing heartbeat, a knot in your stomach, and a restless mind, clouding judgment and distorting perception. Anxiety and stress strive on uncertainty, feeding off the worries and what-ifs that plague the mind. They can be triggered by myriad factors from looming deadlines to societal pressures, and avoidance, leaving individuals feeling overwhelmed and out of control. Yet, amidst the chaos, there is courage to be found. Through Mindfulness and Exposure, self-care, and seeking therapy, one can learn to navigate the turbulence of anxiety and stress, finding calm, clarity, and stability.

Everyone experiences stress, and stress can be positive motivation to get things done. But when stress escalates it can be experienced as anxiety. Anxiety can arise when we lose touch with our feelings. In an anxious state, our bodies produce cortisol, leaving us in a fight or flight state. I try to help people understand the nature of their stresses and regulate stress through meditative, mindful or breathing practices. We explore the internal experiences – the feelings and emotions that escalate stress into anxiety. Learning to address these feelings gives us tools to deal effectively with challenging feelings, thereby developing a healthy sense of inner awareness and control.

My approach is holistic that encompasses attitude and thought-processing with practical ways to alleviate anxiety. Though seemingly simplistic a perspective of "half empty/half full" this helps to change cognitive processing and feelings and self-mastery in incremental behaviour change by "doing" something different from past habitual reflex reaction. Hence, training for new muscle-memory responses and kinetic movement forms part of this core method to effect positive change. Trying to meet unreachable expectations defines anxiety. This chasm between expectation and reality is the task of therapy. Deep breathing good sleep hygiene nutrition and daily exercise leads to wellness and balance

While most treatment approaches for anxiety and stress are effective on the surface, they don’t treat the real problem. Mantras, deep breathing, and rational dialogues about your fear being irrational rarely work---for most people don’t believe it or you! Imagine if you can trick the brain into changing without you telling your conscious mind that you are changing it? Problem with anxiety and stress is that the brain in this state knows you want to change it and it resists.

Feeling stressed and anxious are normal reactions to too much pressure, lack of control and not knowing how to cope with a situation. Sometimes emotions are overwhelming when challenges persist, and if they seem to block you from living a positive and satisfying life, you might wish to seek help. Sometimes we think ourselves into stress and anxiety by worrying about what MIGHT happen, but stress and anxiety can also be triggered by events, such as trauma or certain medications. Please allow me to help you understand your stress situation and find manageable solutions to reduce your sensation of pressure and anxiety. 905-842-3626

Untreated anxiety has the potential to reappear throughout a person's life. This is why it is so important to seek treatment as soon as symptoms arise. Here at Whiteboard, we believe there are two realities in life: 1) Everyone has some level of anxiety; 2) No one should be crippled by the fallout from that anxiety. Racing thoughts, mood swings, difficult emotions — these are all hallmarks of anxiety which require treatment. Our treatment approach involves breaking down the component parts of a client's anxiety in order for them to better understand the motivating factors behind it. Once this occurs, steps are taken to help clients understand the steps they need to take to discover freedom.

It is normal to worry and feel stressed about life's problems and pressures. But when compounded symptoms begin to overwhelm us to the point where we are getting headaches, heart palpitations, a churning stomach, cold sweats, sleepless nights, weight loss, obsessive thoughts, a distressed GI tract - then we need help to break the adrenaline-fear cycle. Anxiety feeds on fear and needs to be confronted, appropriately and safely, with relaxation techniques, new perceptions and constructive thinking patterns. A counsellor can help you do this.

What does anxiety feel like in your body? Perhaps it includes a high heart rate, sweatiness, difficulty speaking, shakiness, unsettled, not able to think clearly. These are common physiological symptoms our body produces when perceiving outside threats, because anxiety is a natural biological response. Unfortunately, anxiety can become a learned over-reaction which is when we feel those symptoms in inconvenient times such as new social settings or high-pressure environments. In therapy we can discuss personalized ways to cope with anxiety so it becomes easier to tolerate.

One of my main specialties is working with anxiety and stress. I have training in many different areas of psychotherapy, to make sure that I have all the tools and approaches needed to help work through any level of anxiety.

Some stress and anxiety are normal and even beneficial (serving as a motivating factor).

My approach to therapy is integrative, drawing from various therapeutic orientations such as EFIT, CBT, DBT, and mindfulness. Most importantly, I focus on building and maintaining a strong therapeutic rapport. I take time to listen and understand your experiences and needs and collaboratively develop a plan that provides the tools you need to reduce distress, now and in the future, and heal.
