A life, free from worry, stress, and anxiety- this is what we want for you. What is going on? How are you thinking? How are you feeling? What worries you? These are questions that we may start with in a therapy session that addresses anxiety and stress. We offer plenty of tools to help the anxious person change the way their brain is working. We want to cool down anxiety and stress, and learn acceptance and relaxation.

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.

Stress can come from many different sources, such as work pressures, family or relationship worries, physical ailments or illnesses, or events of an unexpected nature. I provide a comfortable, encouraging, and supportive environment in which you can discuss your symptoms and situation, unburden yourself, and learn coping strategies that will help you make sense of the chaos and feel better.

Do you feel that your worries are overwhelming and prevent you from enjoying life? Anxiety and stress can do that to many of us. I offer a caring, safe space for you to share your story. I use cognitive-behaviour therapy to help tame your worries, and I offer mindfulness strategies that help calm the body and mind. I utilize neuroscience to help you gain confidence that you can control anxiety and stressful feelings.

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.

If you have experienced that pounding heart, rapid breathing, out of body experience and difficulty concentrating you are not alone. Anxiety and Panic Attacks are extremely common and uncomfortable. Whether it is experienced driving, speaking in public, being with others, or participating in your sport... I can help you resolve this and begin to feel better very quickly. Our body has two nervous systems, one is the stress response which if you are reading this you are already familiar with, and one is the relaxation response which is very pleasant and comforting. In our work together I will help you resolve your anxiety/panic and re orient your mind and body to the relaxation response.

Do you long to feel more relaxed, and at ease with life? In our world today there is no shortage of stress. There are so many expectations on us from workplace, family, and ourselves. Without outlets for relieving stress, we begin to experience anxiety. With anxiety comes a heightened state of arousal that lingers long after stressful experiences. This can cause physical symptoms like headaches, back pain, and a queasy stomach, and emotional symptoms such as fear and avoidance. We have worked successfully with people struggling with anxiety (social, school, general, PTSD, and specific phobias from spiders to dentists) to live more enjoyable lives.

Our experience of anxiety is often an indicator that something is out of balance in our lives. While a healthy degree of stress can be a motivating factor for many people, it can become emotionally and physically debilitating if it is excessive. Together we will explore the source of your anxiety and/or stress and develop skills and create options for you to begin to enjoy balance in your life once again. I have assisted many clients to regain the ability to respect and respond to their emotions and the messages they can learn from them, rather than feeling controlled by them. They have reported feeling empowered and able to enjoy life again.

Anxiety and Stress are approached with Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT). Education and coping / management techniques are explored, as well as 'homework' in the form of skills practise. People should expect a clear therapy plan to reduce their experience of anxiety and increased confidence in learning how to manage and cope. With children / youth often Art Therapy and / or Play therapy is integrated into the counselling. Parents of kids should expect to be involved and supported in their awareness of anxiety and stress and how to assist their children in management.

With anxiety and stress, it is important to not only learn ways to manage the symptoms, but also to heal at the source. Looking to the implicitly stored awareness that the body holds we can often unhook the stress and anxiety where it is rooted. New neural pathways form from this gently implicit attention, helping the body to have a new relationship to the same experiences.
