Experiencing stress seems inevitable. However, when stress is overwhelming, we can develop anxiety, which can hinder us from participating in life in a full way. Our lives might get smaller, less satisfying, and we might feel that we are no longer in control. Anxiety often makes its presence known by uncomfortable physical symptoms in our bodies. Together, we will learn about these physical symptoms. We will explore how anxiety might have started and what triggers it. We will also develop strategies that shift your nervous system from anxiety, to a state of calm and connection with self, others, and the world.

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.

Everyone feels anxiety at some point in their lives but when it starts to interfere with your life, counseling can help. Although anxiety can feel debilitating, it is treatable. People with anxiety don’t always share the same symptoms, they vary from person to person. Therapy will help you to reclaim your life and function in a chronically stressful world.

Coping with stress and management of anxious thoughts and feelings is a challenge for many clients. We examine the ways that stress can affect the physical body and seek direct ways to mitigate these problems, such as breathing retraining and thought distancing. Often, we focus on building a hierarchy of fears and gradual exposure to these fears. We also work on management of physical reactions, such as panic.

Anxiety, fear and stress are all natural human responses that are supposed to be helpful but sometimes they get in the way. They may feel overwhelming or appear when they are not needed. Learning to cope with these emotions involves understanding their purpose, triggers and I help you build coping strategies to manage stress and anxiety or even overcome it so you can live your life on your terms.
