Most people do not like feeling anxious or stressed. People are not saying I am glad to be stressed or anxious. What do we do when this happens. We need to process it and for most people counselling is a place for processing. Along with processing stress and anxiety comes a deeper longing to to be heard and validated and to sometimes be given new skills or strategies. What ever you need whether an ear to listen, heart to understand or ideas for coping with it I can provide it in comfortable environment.

Anxiety often has people identifying strongly with it. If you have a problem with anxiety, you are certainly not alone! Everyone affected by Anxiety has a unique relationship with it. Narrative therapy investigates how Anxiety keeps you away from the pleasures of life and explores new opportunities to gain control over your life.

Anxiety and Stress are the norm in today's world. Our fast-paced society pulls our attention in many directions and often away from ourselves. Being disconnected from our feelings, needs and wants is often a cause of anxiety. Mindfulness-based counselling is a powerful way to have us create an island of sanity for ourselves amidst the speed of our lives. By learning to reconnect with ourselves amidst the busyness of life, we are put back into relationship with our hearts and what is truly meaningful to us.

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.

Anxiety falls along a continuum from acceptable to crippling, debilitating anxiety requiring professional intervention. The major forms that anxiety takes are: Generalized Anxiety Disorder (GAD), Panic Disorder, Phobic Disorders, Social Anxiety Disorders and Obsessive Compulsive Disorders (OCD). A variety of proven therapeutic interventions are well established now, eg., Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Mindfulness Based Cognitive Therapy (MBCT), Emotional Freedom Technique (EFT), Yoga, Tai Chi, Breathwork. By diving into therapy clients regain a sense of optimism, courage and confidence in relationships, workplace and career, driving, aging, life transitions and more.

I work with people who struggle with a variety of anxiety problems, such as generalized anxiety disorder, obsessive-compulsive disorder, post-traumatic stress disorder and others. I also work with people who struggle with anxiety and stress that is problematic but not enough to be diagnosed as a disorder. I use Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy to address anxiety issues. I encourage clients to summon their bravery to confront their anxiety and assign bravery projects to help them challenge it.

Anxiety is a normal human experience, an adaptive signal meant to notify us that something is wrong, something needs to be attended to. However, many people feel overwelmed with anxiety and stress, their mind racing, over-thinking, the never ending struggles of the mind. I love helping people come to see their anxiety and their patterns of reactivity as only one part of who they are, and to develop ways to attend more fully to other aspects of their experience; to learn to live more fully in the present moment.
