Stress, PTSD and Anxiety Therapists in Arnprior, ON.

My approach to anxiety and stress treatment is compassionate, client-centered, and practical, helping individuals understand the root causes of their worries and build strategies to manage overwhelming thoughts and feelings. I draw from evidence-informed techniques, including behavioural and emotionally focused approaches, to support clients in identifying triggers, developing coping skills, and creating routines that promote calm and balance. Clients benefit by gaining greater self-awareness, emotional regulation, and resilience, enabling them to navigate daily stressors with confidence and reduce the impact of anxiety on their overall well-being.

The experience of stress and anxiety can be a challenging one to navigate alone. Throughout sessions, we will work to understand activators of stress and anxiety, develop management tools that serve you best, and explore the various meanings and purposes that stress and anxiety serve in your life. Contact me for a free consultation to learn more about my approach and to see if we would be a good fit.

Anxiety is anticipating something evil to happen in the future, which brings stress to the person and interrupts the routine and healthy psychological function. The anxiety itself is a necessary part of everyday life, but when it becomes extreme, it can cause harm for our mental health. To learn how to manage anxiety and cope with the stress is a skill that is needed to cope with everyday problems as well as traumatic experiences in life. Schedule a free 15-minute consultation to see if we are a good fit.

Anxiety and stress can be, in a word, scary! They can leave us feeling overwhelmed and alone. Therapy can provide a safe and supportive space to explore these concerns and learn new skills that can restore your sense of freedom and control. I offer a free 15-minute consultation for individuals aged 14+ to see if I am a good fit to help you manage your anxiety and stress.

Stress and anxiety are normal responses to the pressures and constraints of everyday life. They can be helpful signals to us to slow down or to introduce some lifestyle changes. For some people, these simple changes do not alleviate the stress and anxiety. I work with my clients to explore any thinking they may be engaging in (CBT) or exploring other lifestyle or relational issues which may be problematic and work with them to manage the anxiety/stress through relaxation techniques, mindfulness, or lifestyle changes, and explore whether referral to their family doctor might be beneficial.

In these difficult times, and before, anxiety and stress can sometimes sneak up on us until we are surprised to find that we are catching colds, experiencing muscle aches and pains, or even are having difficulty eating or sleeping regularly. I will help you get to the root of what ails you, whether it is past trauma, current life stressors, an impending life transition, or generalized anxiety. By helping you uncover your strengths and teaching you tools to manage your stress or anxiety, I can assist you in rewriting the story you tell yourself about your past and your future.

In working with clients on their anxiety and stress I primarily aim to promote understanding: understanding of why we are feeling so anxious and stressed, what factors contribute, what can be done to better manage or eliminate anxiety and stress from our lives, and most importantly, how to eliminate ambiguity from our lives. I specialize in working with clients on their stress and anxiety, whether it stems from work, relationships, family, trauma, lifestyle, or beliefs. It is only through understanding that we can promote comprehensive and meaningful change in our lives. I utilize principles of cognitive behavioural therapy, solution-focused work, and psychodynamics in my work.
