Anxiety is internalized prolonged internal stress. Often people are afraid because they have never owned up to themselves. It is completely understandable with the world we live in today and all the expectations placed on we can often become overwhelmed. It can be a forever on going pressure from anything such as, ageing; being alone; illness losing a job/family member/possession. Things that require action can also be heavy stress factors; relationships; losing weight; intimacy; career. Our inner state of mind; feeling rejected, like a failure; low self-image. Etc. "This is not true you have handled everything up till now". Reaching out for support is the first step to creating change.

Most individuals experience anxiety from time to time or in response to very stressful moments in their lives. When anxiety occurs in response to normal daily activities or becomes constant, overwhelming, difficult to control and starts to interfere with daily life, it might mean you are experiencing an anxiety disorder. Therapy that addresses anxiety can help you identify and understand your symptoms and learn new ways of thinking, and new behaviour patterns that can greatly reduce your anxiety. Finding a therapist whom you trust and connect with is very important and can be the beginning of feeling more in control of your life.

I realize that anxiety and stress can cause significant conflict within an individuals sense of self, relationships to others, success at work and hobbies, or intimate couples relationship. Often times it may even induce feelings of anger, frustration, resentment, or perhaps helplessness, sad, lonely and hurt. Our work together is assumed to be short-term, following a solution-oriented approach. I also utilize a Cognitive-Behavioural therapy (CBT), Narrative, and Emotion-focused approach as necessary. I ask clients to commit to at least 6-10 sessions, as we set realistic goals based on insurance coverage, time, and finances permit.

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! Imagine if you can trick the brain into changing without you telling your conscious mind that you are changing it? Problem with anxiety and stress is that the brain in this state knows you want to change it and it resists.

Some stress and anxiety are normal and even beneficial (serving as a motivating factor). However, too much, for a prolonged period of time, can start interfering with your day-to-day life due to a negative impact on physical health, mental well-being, self-esteem, job/school, and relationships. My approach to therapy is integrative, drawing from various therapeutic orientations such as EFIT, CBT, DBT, and mindfulness. Most importantly, I focus on building and maintaining a strong therapeutic rapport. I take time to listen and understand your experiences and needs and collaboratively develop a plan that provides the tools you need to reduce distress, now and in the future, and heal.

Stress and anxiety are often unavoidable aspects of life in our modern world. It may be that there is no more sane a response than to experience anxiety and stress because of the stressors and calamities that perpetually surround us. We will explore the root causes of these stresses and anxieties; some causes are internal, perhaps due to cognitive distortions, while some stressors are external and systemic. We will explore the whole system as well as how we operate within it.

Everyone experiences stress, and stress can be positive motivation to get things done. But when stress escalates it can be experienced as anxiety. Anxiety can arise when we lose touch with our feelings. In an anxious state, our bodies produce cortisol, leaving us in a fight or flight state. I try to help people understand the nature of their stresses and regulate stress through meditative, mindful or breathing practices. We explore the internal experiences – the feelings and emotions that escalate stress into anxiety. Learning to address these feelings gives us tools to deal effectively with challenging feelings, thereby developing a healthy sense of inner awareness and control.

We all know the profound effect stress has on our physical and mental health, yet we all still struggle to say no to our boss, set boundaries with family and prioritize our self care above all else. It's because we live in a society that is constantly demanding us to work more, sleep less, pay more, play less. Our brains are constantly overwhelmed and overloaded, nervous systems triggered, and emotions dysregulated. Even if we think we're doing a good job at managing our stress, we're always going to experience challenges, and we all deserve to take care of ourselves. If anxiety is taking control of your life, reach out to work together and take back your power from stress and anxiety!
