Stress, PTSD and Anxiety Therapists in Chase, BC.

Most of us expereince anxiety or stress at some time while some of us experience these pervasively. However, stress and anxiety do not have to be debilitating. I offer effective support that is tailored specifically for you as a adult, for your child, or for your adolescent. Anxiety and stress impact children and adolescents in dinstinct ways that differ from adults. Moreover, many factors impact how an individual is able to handle these challenges. While I am the therapist, you are the expert on yourself or your child. Therefore I work with you and/or your child to co-create a treatment plan that is designed to help you or your child learn how to cope with stress overcome anxiety.

Feelings of anxiety can become so intense that it becomes overwhelming. Often individuals struggling with anxiety express constant intruding thoughts that focus on fears of events of the future. Anxiety can create physical feelings of distress like a tight chest that makes it difficult to breath, an upset or tight feeling in the stomach, and general fatigue from constantly trying to control their thoughts and actions. Some people have battled anxiety for so long that they begin to believe it is just who they are and accept the restrictions it causes in their life. Through counselling we will work to break the cycle of anxiety controlling your inner world. Bringing a sense of relief, control and freedom that has been absent for so long.

Anxiety and stress are both extremely common in Western culture. Both of these things deal with an unregulated nervous system and a fight/flight mode that is overextended. In working with you, I will be able to help you get back in tune with your body, learn to regulate your nervous system, treat yourself with compassion and relieve stress. The more you are able to listen to the message your body is sending you, the less your body will feel the need to scream to be heard.

Our focus is to support individuals who are struggling with anxiety and stress to a more relaxed and manageable way of being. Not only is stress and anxiety hard on our health and energy, but it also can have a significant impact on our world around us. We will work in a collaborative manor to break apart the building blocks that have contributed to the imbalance of anxiety and stress in your life, and empower you with the tools and techniques to remain in balance.
