Stress, PTSD and Anxiety Therapists in Penticton, BC.

Anxiety and stress are all too common in our fast-paced, over-stimulating and demanding world. Physical tension, digestive issues, irritability, headaches, difficulty concentrating as well as numerous health issues are all symptoms of chronic anxiety or stress. While stress is generally seen as negative, sometimes it is positive. Excitement, for example, is a form of positive stress. The key is to balance the demands with opportunities to relax and have fun. With a little help and practice, you can learn to manage stress and anxiety, and reconnect with your sources of peace and joy in life.

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 offer EMDR and other trauma processing approaches to support you in your healing when appropriate.

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.
