Anxiety and stress are normal human reaction to situations. We encounter many pressures and stressors throughout our lives, and sometimes just throughout the day. Embodying tools (such as mindfullness practices) can help reduce physical, emotional and verbal reactions to stress and anxiety, and replace these negative reactions with the power to respond to stressors and anxiety in a meaningful and healthy way that keeps you grounded and focused.

Anxiety can be so uncomfortable, so terrifying, that we would, often, rather withdraw from pursuing the people or things we love, so as to avoid its terrible grip. Counselling gives people the tools to be able to manage anxiety when it shows up. These tools give people the confidence that they need to take risks - start dating, return to work, go out with friends, whatever it may be - without the fear that anxiety will take over. When you have the tools and courage to walk through anxiety, life begins to get larger, not smaller. Reach out for a free 15 minute consultation!

In anxiety and stress counseling, I provide a safe, confidential space to express whatever thoughts and feelings are weighing on you. Anxiety often involves racing thoughts, physical tension, and feeling overwhelmed by worries about the future. Together we'll work on bringing you back to the present and developing practical tools that help. This might include mindfulness practices to interrupt anxious thought spirals, relaxation techniques to release tension, or examining thought patterns fueling your stress. Our therapeutic relationship matters most—having someone genuinely listen without judgment has real healing power. Clients report feeling calmer, more grounded, and able to handle challenges in a more balanced way.

The circumstances and issues that you are dealing with are unique to you, but you don't have to face them alone. Every individual has different experiences, perceptions, feelings, thoughts, beliefs, values, attitudes, cultural backgrounds and "upbringings". Counselling sessions are private and confidential, and can provide a way for you to explore your problems and really tune in to your feelings. This is an opportunity to speak freely about your circumstances and release pent up feelings, without having to worry about what others think or feel, and without receiving unwanted advise from family, friends or coworkers. At the root of the problem, there are very real, legitimate and understandable reasons for feeling the way you feel, thinking the way...(view profile to read more)

We live in a fast paced 24/7 world dealing with social media, technology and lots of things to worry about in the media. No wonder we are all a little anxious these days. I will help you change your relationship with your thoughts so they have less power and control over you. When we give in and avoid things due to anxiety we end up feeling pretty isolated.

I would help clients to learn about and practice mindfulness as it is instrumental in helping to arrest and manage anxiety and stress. I absolutely believe that talk therapy combined with mindfulness can be very therapeutic in managing anxiety and stress. I would also introduce cognitive behavioral therapy to help assist with change in experience and behavior. Raising one's consciousness can be empowering and life changing because it helps to assist in learning about self-care and how to do things differently by learning to mange the anxiety and stress in a new way. With the help of a variety of tools one can learn to manage their anxiety and stress in a way that is therapeutic and healing.

We all have anxiety and stress! It is a matter of how we manage this challenge in our daily lives. Often the anxiety and stress overwhelm us to the point of feeling hopeless! But there certainly is hope and with some consistent therapy and support one can be feeling significantly better after only a few sessions. Once we dissect the overwhelming feelings we begin to understand the underlying issues at the root cause. While medication is an option, quite often it is not necessary as psychotherapy is effective.

There are diverse ways of treating anxiety disorders, however, research shows that therapy is usually the most effective option. That is because unlike the medical model, anxiety therapy treats more than just the symptoms of the problem. I work with you to uncover the underlying causes of your worries and fears; learn how to relax; look at situations in new, less frightening ways; and develop better coping and problem-solving skills. Since anxiety disorders differ considerably, I tailor the therapy to my clients’ specific symptoms and concerns. Someone with anxiety attack will have a different treatment from a person who comes for obsessive-compulsive disorder. Together we can make it happen
