Stress, PTSD and Anxiety Therapists in South Surrey, BC.

Symptoms of stress and anxiety can originate from many different sources, including issues related to addiction, the effects of addiction, infidelity, difficult childhoods, dysfunctional families of origin, and the impact of past hurts and coping patterns. By offering a setting that is based on trust, empathy, and collaboration, counselling can provide you with a safe and supportive space to explore your thoughts and emotions while creating a deeper, more authentic understanding of who you are, what you need, and the dynamics that you are navigating. It is possible to thrive and be well no matter what you have been through, and counselling can help with this.

Anxiety and stress can feel relentless and all consuming, racing thoughts, muscle tension, difficulty sleeping, irritability, or a constant sense of being “on edge.” Over time, anxiety and stress can impact relationships, work performance, and overall well-being. Whether anxiety shows up as perfectionism, people-pleasing, panic symptoms, or constant mental noise, Renee creates a supportive space to slow down and regain clarity. The focus is not only on symptom relief, but on building resilience, strengthening boundaries, and restoring a sense of balance and confidence in daily life.

Anxiety can feel relentless — tight chest, racing mind, constant what-ifs. I support people as they attempt to break free from those cycles. In our work, you’ll learn how anxiety operates in your nervous system, why it keeps showing up, and how to respond to it differently. Using practical strategies and a steady therapeutic presence, we’ll reduce overwhelm and restore a sense of clarity and control. You don’t have to keep living in fight-or-flight.

If you want a more fulfilling life, then call me and let's make that life possible.

In therapy sessions clients will benefit from exploring the causes and contributing factors underlying the feelings of anxiety they are experiencing. Clients will identify stressors in their lives and identify how these stressors are effecting their emotional and physical well-being. They will learn strategies and skills to more effectively manage stress and anxiety, and learn to change their emotional reactions to stressful situations. It is my hope that clients will discover the capabilities that exist within themselves to create the peace and calm they wish to attain in their lives.

Most people experience anxiety and stress in their lives. I approach anxiety as something that can be fought with evidence based strategies. Let me come alongside you as we build you a toolkit of strategies that you can practice.

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 common complaints in our busy world with many demands and little time. How does a person cope? I have found that anxiety and stress occur when we are not living in the NOW. We may be obsessing about the past or worrying about the future. Using mindfulness, I can help you to access the present moment, the only place where peace can be found.

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 am currently offering sessions online and in person.

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 will teach you tools and strategies to get through your stress and anxiety.
