Stress, PTSD and Anxiety Therapists in Grande Prairie, AB.

Anxiety and stress affects us all, to varying degrees. What we get stressed about, the way it manifests and how we get through it is unique to us. If your anxiety or stress is beginning to interfere with your life, I can help you regain balance. We start by exploring the effects it has on your body, mind and spirit; we identify your triggers, explore your resources, and work collaboratively to help you develop more effective coping strategies.

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 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.

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. It is that feeling of impending dread. The tightness in your chest that makes it hard to breath. The wave of nausea that sweeps over you. The rapid heartbeat, the sweaty palms, the trembling. Nothing about anxiety is comforting. This is why we avoid it. But what if I told you that, to a certain extent, anxiety is normal and even beneficial. Feeling anxious means that you care about something and when you care about something, you try your best to succeed. When working with anxiety, the goal is not to eliminate it but rather to control it to your benefit. This is accomplished through recognizing your patterns and altering those that work against you.

I offer an integrative blend of somatic awareness, mindfulness practices, relational attunement, and trauma-informed presencing to help my clients address anxiety and stress in their lives. Using your natural healing process as our guide, we can help the nervous system learn what a peaceful state of health and vitality is again. I am currently offering sessions online and in person.

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.
