Feeling anxious and experiencing stress are normal and healthy human experiences. However, both anxiety and stress can get out of control in our lives and can cause incredible challenges that lead to feeling overwhelmed and out of control. You may be experiencing the negative impact of overwhelming stress and anxiety in your life right now, and you may even feel like life is slipping out of your control. You and I will work together to restore control, to reduce the unhelpful influence of stress and anxiety, and to help you to return to living a life that reflects who you want to be.

Stress is a normal part of everyday life. But too much stress can be counter-productive and overwhelming and can lead to the development of anxiety related issues. Stress in children is estimated to have increased 45% over the past 30 years. Building emotional health and resiliency can help children, teens and adults who are struggling with the issues of stress/anxiety regain control and improve their ability to function in every day life again. Learning how to maintain a healthy internal balance in the face of new challenges is the key to embracing the levels of stress we need to grow as individuals.

I use thought challenges, psychoeducation, and coping skills to help clients interrupt racing thoughts and evaluate their thinking processes.

Anxiety and stress can negatively impact client's ability to deal with daily challenges and stressors. Anxiety is excess activation in the nervous system so helping clients to release the activation in turn reduces their anxiety and then they can experience a sense of calm and feeling settled. Toxic stress affects the way we think and perceive reality so addressing the anxiety allows us to retrain the brain to manage the stress and perceived threat which reduces fear, worry, and panic.

Anxiety and stress are experienced by most psychotherapy clients who come here. People usually find my approach helpful whether or not they identify anxiety/stress as a primary condition for treatment. I always aim to adjust my treatment approach to the individual characteristics and needs of my client. Sometimes situations and systems can be addressed and improved; sometimes all that a person can change is their own attitude. I am able to use verbal, visusalization, and altered state strategies for helping people grow past fear.

Most people do not like feeling anxious or stressed. People are not saying I am glad to be stressed or anxious. What do we do when this happens. We need to process it and for most people counselling is a place for processing. Along with processing stress and anxiety comes a deeper longing to to be heard and validated and to sometimes be given new skills or strategies. What ever you need whether an ear to listen, heart to understand or ideas for coping with it I can provide it in comfortable environment.

Registered Psychologist

In T8A 6H2 - Nearby to Wellington.

Anxiety and stress can be adaptive in small doses- it can help give us the motivation to study harder for a test, or practice before an important presentation. In large doses, however, anxiety can be paralyzing. It can cause us to miss work, have panic attacks, or feel irritable or moody. This is when treatment becomes necessary. We use evidence-based therapy to help you achieve results. We will help you identify your own triggers, and teach you skills and tools that you can use to help you manage your anxiety.

In T6B 3J4 - Nearby to Wellington.

Although anxiety is a natural part of life, it can escalate and begin to interfere with functioning. In these cases, I assist clients to learn ways to gain more control, such as by learning to relax the body, think in ways that do not create additional anxiety, process past experiences that contribute to the anxiety, and identify triggers so that alternate coping strategies can be used. I also work with clients to establish healthy stress management strategies, through exercise, social support, self-care, assertiveness, healthy expression of feelings, and appropriate life balance, so that clients have an overall sense of calm and well-being.

Every one of us experiences some amount of stress or anxiety in our lives. However, when anxiety negatively affects your life such as avoiding situations, difficulties sleeping, constant worrying or repeditive thinking, additional help is often required. Worrying and being fearful can prevent you from having a peaceful life while impacting your physical health. Counselling can help to reduce stress and anxiety by resolving issues and learning how to be your true self.
