By employing evidence-based techniques such as cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT), mindfulness, and relaxation techniques, I work collaboratively with clients to develop personalized strategies for managing their symptoms.

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!

Problem with anxiety and stress is that the brain in this state knows you want to change it and it resists.

Disappointments in life, conflict in relationships, challenges in the workplace, debt or health issues or any combination of things can contribute to stress and anxiety. When you feel overwhelmed, life becomes confusing and solutions are hard to see. Many day to day problems are easier to resolve, manage and avoid when you have the tools and support you need. Through counselling I help you understand your fears, frustrations, disappointments and experiences, while equipping you with effective skills and tools to cope with challenges from a position of inner peace and strength.

Stress can motivate you, but anxiety can dominate your life. I want to help bring your life back into balance. There are many ways we can address habitual anxiety because each person perceives and analyzes his or her world differently. Each person has his own history, habits, and ingrained viewpoints. Each person has certain prejudices and automatic reactions which he may not recognize. To gain a clearer view we need to get to know ourselves. Then we may decide to practice changing. The idea behind Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, the best known group of anxiety treatments, is that mind, body and emotions are all connected in the brain. Change one, and you can effect the others.

In my work with people with anxiety, I take a two-fold approach. First, we work on developing set of strategies that help manage anxiety, including mindfulness techniques, distraction and self-soothing. At the same time, I work on acceptance of anxiety with a focus on moving towards valued goals in spite of the discomfort of anxiety. In my experience, the struggle that often accompanies anxiety can be as debilitating as the anxiety itself.

It's critical to understand that, even if you suffer from panic attacks, compulsive thoughts, ongoing worry, or a phobia, you don't have to live in fear and anxiety. In many cases, therapy is the most effective strategy to handle anxiety-related problems. Therapy gives you the skills and teaches you how to use them to overcome anxiety. If stress is not managed, it can become chronic stress and ultimately lead to burnout. While burnout leaves people feeling completely exhausted and unmotivated to keep going, stress often results in people feeling overwhelmed. Therapy provides coping mechanisms for stress symptoms, which may help to avoid burnout.

Anxiety and stress are rampant in society today as we juggle a fast-paced environment and never-ending demands from employers, family, friends, and social media. My focus is aimed at helping you identify what triggers you have that lead to your experience of anxiety or stress and how we can mitigate these issues with tools, techniques and perhaps trauma therapy to alleviate your symptoms.

Mastora works with individual to find a more effective ways to deal with anxiety and stress through various therapeutic techniques and take back control of your life.

Anxiety can be a pretty consuming, stressful, and overwhelming feeling. In therapy, we will explore the roots of your feelings of anxiety in order to understand where they originated. Additionally, depending on the type of anxiety you are experiencing, whether it be worrying, panic, nervousness, etc., we will: 1. Create a plan for dealing with the anxiety and stress 2. Work on overcoming the anxiety and stress. Interventions that we may use to accomplish these goals are mindfulness, relaxation and breathing, behavioural, cognitive, as well as insight oriented. I will also, collaboratively, draw on other therapeutic approaches to work towards your whole health, well-being, and freedom.

It's like you're under attack from an invisible force no one else can see. You're tired of explaining it to people, knowing they won't understand. Unless you've experienced anxiety, you just don't know what it's like. I've dealt with it personally, and I've combined what works for me with what has worked for hundreds of other clients over the past seven years to create a unique counselling approach. Expect no-nonsense, down to earth counselling where we talk like normal people. Work through your issues, but also learn new strategies and set goals for the future. You supply the effort, and I'll supply the framework you need to realize the changes you'd like to see in your life.

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.
