Stress, PTSD and Anxiety Therapists in Beltline, Calgary, AB.

Anxiety and stress impact people in many areas of their life like work and relationships. People often report feeling tired and overwhelmed. When working with anxiety and stress, we can look at what triggers the symptoms and find helpful coping strategies tailored for your experience. I can also normalize your experiences because you're not alone!

Stress is a normal, adaptive response to changes in our circumstances and/or environment. Stress can act as a motivator, however when it becomes chronic and overwhelming, it can negatively impact our relationships ourselves, family and friends, our work interests and hobbies, and increase our risk of the development of other psychological and physical health concerns such as anxiety and depression. I assist clients in resolving their anxiety by identifying and understanding symptoms, identifying triggers that increase symptoms, and developing practical day-to-day strategies that provide both short-and-long term relief.

[NOTE: MY OFFICE IS IN CALGARY -- I DO VIDEO SESSIONS ELSEWHERE IN ALBERTA]. Anxiety and stress are two conditions that have treatments that work. Cognitive behaviour therapy, desensitization therapy, and hypnotherapy (all of which I practice) are often tremendously helpful. I have been a psychologist for 31 years, and I can help.
