Stress, PTSD and Anxiety Therapists in Thunder Bay, ON.

I work with men who are overwhelmed and stressed. They feel successful in the work they do, but they're finding that they don't have the capacity to manage life outside of work anymore. They feel like the demands of their relationship with a spouse or children is too much. Now, let's admit, they've never been good at talking about stuff. Talking about what's going on inside their head and expressing how they feel just isn't their strong suit. But they're not coping well. They avoid the stress by finding their own little place to unwind and keep a distance from everyone so they can get some peace for a minute (or hours). Let's try something different. I'm hear to listen.

While anxiety and stress in small amounts can be a helpful source of information, too much can become overwhelming and even interfere with our daily lives. Therapy can be a space to explore the impacts of anxiety and how it may have become engrained into your self-narrative. You and I can work together to co-create coping strategies that are unique to your specific situation. Contact me to book a free consultation so we can decide together if we would be a good fit.

Low levels of anxiety can motivate us to accomplish goals and perform at our best. As the level of experienced anxiety creeps higher, it robs us of our joy and can make us feel overwhelmed resulting in either inactivity or a compulsion to be overactive yet not experiencing any lasting relief. Our sense of internal peace and calm is replaced by perpetual overthinking and fear. Let's work together to gain insight into the root cause of your anxiety so that we are able to empower you to reclaim your experience of joy and a sense of internal calm.

The experience of stress and anxiety can be a challenging one to navigate alone.

In these unprecedented times in our lives many of us are dealing with feelings of great uncertainty about our individual future and how to handle and cope with life changes. Repetitive thoughts are often aligned with anxiety. Anxiety has a cyclical pattern and unless it is interrupted it will run its course, causes overwhelming feelings of fear and despair. Through a compassionate and observational lens reducing stress and anxiety will cultivate focus and clarity. Learning to connect to our senses is very grounded and can quickly break the anxiety cycle and help bring us back to our own center. Book a free consultation to see if we are a good fit.
