If you're struggling with anxious thoughts, you may find it hard to focus. The fight or flight alarm is going off in your brain, constantly sending you messages starting with "what if...." If worrying is keeping you trapped in a hamster wheel, tired, but unable to rest, you may find yourself turning to addictive substances or behaviours to cope. As an addiction counsellor, I help clients cope with the anxious thoughts keeping them trapped in addictive behaviours. By uncovering these underlying thoughts, I help you develop coping skills so you can gain a sense of focus, clarity, confidence, and freedom from constantly overthinking. Send me a message and I'll guide you through the next steps.

Life throws many challenges at us and can be overwhelming sometimes. Often we developed coping strategies that were quite effective when we were younger, but as we move through life's new stages, what once worked, now leaves us struggling and frustrated. It is common to do what you know and frustrating when it no longer works for you. This can lead to more anxiety, increased stress, insomnia, and a feeling of being out of control. We help you explore what worked for you in the past, and what changes you need to help you achieve what you need now. We utilize current research-based strategies to give you the tools and skills you need for where you want to go.

The benefits from Anxiety & Stress Treatment Counseling may include relief from ongoing feelings of distress (sadness, anger, worry, frustration); ability to make sense of the reasons underlying poor choices helping him/her learn new ways to cope with stressful situations; discovering existing strengths from which improved self-esteem can build upon; enhanced opportunities for strengthening of relationships,;and/or learning to identify and express feelings in healthy ways, which may be at root of anxiety. Working together using strategies that calm, teach emotion-regulation, and self-awareness, clients are able to develop positive coping strategies to enhance life living.

While our bodies are perfectly designed to adapt and react to stress, modern problems mean that we tend to detect life threatening dangers in very ordinary places. Conflicts at work, arguments in our relationships and uncertainties such as the post-Covid world activate old survival mechanisms. We may be stuck in the buzzing, fear states of ‘fight-flight’ or the numb and paralyzed states of ‘freeze and shut down.’ The good news is that I have a long history of safely and successfully helping individuals and couples to reduce and release stress using a variety of CBT and mindfulness techniques, as well as trauma-informed therapy. You have my commitment to compassionate and educated care.
