Stress, PTSD and Anxiety Therapists in Midland, ON.

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.

A safe and supportive space is provided to explore and address the underlying causes of anxiety and stress. Therapy can help individuals develop coping strategies, learn relaxation techniques, and challenge negative thought patterns. We can offer tools to manage symptoms and build resilience. Additionally, therapy can provide validation, support, and guidance in navigating the challenges of anxiety and stress.

For many of us, our stream of life is interrupted by events that are so stressful and scary that they create lasting change. This can be a single incident such as an assault or accident. Or, it could be recurring incidents that take place in the course of our work. It could also be trauma in our earliest years from our caregivers or in our first relationships. If you feel that something from your past is impacting your current life, trauma and stress focused therapy may be a good fit for you.

As a therapist, I recognize the debilitating effects that anxiety and stress can have on one's life. Through therapy, we work collaboratively to identify triggers and develop coping mechanisms to manage overwhelming feelings. Together, we explore thought patterns and behaviors contributing to anxiety, fostering self-awareness and resilience. Through evidence-based techniques such as cognitive-behavioral therapy and mindfulness, clients learn to challenge negative thoughts and cultivate a sense of calm. Therapy provides a safe space to process emotions, learn relaxation techniques, and develop practical strategies for coping with stressors.

In my practice, I specialize in providing support and guidance to individuals struggling with anxiety and fears. Anxiety can manifest in various forms, from generalized anxiety to specific phobias, and it often interferes with daily functioning and overall well-being. Through a compassionate and collaborative approach, I work with clients to explore the root causes of their anxiety, identify negative thought patterns, and develop effective coping strategies. My therapeutic interventions incorporate evidence-based techniques, mindfulness practices, and cognitive-behavioral approaches to empower clients in managing their anxious thoughts and behaviors.

I’ve been helping people lead more intentional lives for over 20 years. Anxiety can cause thoughts to be out of proportion to reality, stop you from doing what you want to do, and make you feel out of control. 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.
