Stress, PTSD and Anxiety Therapists in Grande Prairie, AB.

Anxiety and stress affects us all, to varying degrees. What we get stressed about, the way it manifests and how we get through it is unique to us. If your anxiety or stress is beginning to interfere with your life, I can help you regain balance. We start by exploring the effects it has on your body, mind and spirit; we identify your triggers, explore your resources, and work collaboratively to help you develop more effective coping strategies.

Anxiety and stress can make the world seem like an endless barrage of worries and pressures, leaving you feeling overwhelmed and on edge. Your sessions with me will be a safe harbor, where we will not only identify the triggers of your anxiety and stress but also repurpose these feelings. My therapeutic approach is about creating a space where you can learn and apply powerful techniques that offer both immediate relief and enduring change. Together, we'll navigate these turbulent waters, moving you towards a transformation where calm and confidence become your new normal.

Anxiety and stress are sometimes helpful responses and can carry important information for us about our current lives. However, they can also be overwhelming and come with sensations that are difficult to tolerate. I can help you learn techniques to soothe your body, regain balance, and address the mind chatter that may be perpetuating your anxiety.

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.

Anxiety. It is that feeling of impending dread. The tightness in your chest that makes it hard to breath. The wave of nausea that sweeps over you. The rapid heartbeat, the sweaty palms, the trembling. Nothing about anxiety is comforting. This is why we avoid it. But what if I told you that, to a certain extent, anxiety is normal and even beneficial. Feeling anxious means that you care about something and when you care about something, you try your best to succeed. When working with anxiety, the goal is not to eliminate it but rather to control it to your benefit. This is accomplished through recognizing your patterns and altering those that work against you.
