anxiety and stress is the natural way in which our body reacts to events, to the unknown of future events. What would need to do is to identify what are those triggers that cause the anxiety and stress, as well as what is beneath those triggers. Once doing this it will be important to learn how to learn to deal with them and even if possible through the process of therapy cancel the triggers causing the anxiety.

Anxiety is a fear based position stemming from a lack of control. There are varying degrees of anxiety, from day-to-day worries and stress all the way to life-altering, debilitating suffering. I can help you gain a healthy sense of self-control over your invasive thoughts and overwhelming emotions. At the same time, I will gently guide you to a deeper place of trust and dependancy upon the Lord. Anxiety and stress no longer need to rule your life - it is time to gain back the peace and authority that is rightfully yours!

For anxiety and fears, a multimodal approach will be used with cognitive behavioural therapy and narrative.

The benefits of using the combination of these two approach is that it will allow for an alternative perspective and to better understand what one is thinking and feeling.

When working with anxiety and stress, I focus on helping clients understand how their nervous system responds to perceived threat and overload. Therapy includes both emotional insight and practical regulation strategies that support calm and grounding. Clients learn to identify patterns of worry, reduce avoidance behaviours, and build tolerance for uncertainty. Over time, many experience improved emotional regulation, greater resilience in stressful situations, and a stronger sense of internal safety and stability in daily life.

Anxiety is our body’s way of getting us ready for action, getting us ready to fight or flee in a given situation which, while helpful in keeping us alive, can be very unhelpful when it negatively impacts our ability to live our daily lives. I work collaboratively with clients to explore how anxiety and stress show up in their lives, and to strengthen and develop strategies to minimize the impact they have on living the life you want to live.

Stress and anxiety when present within healthy limits can stimulate, motivate, challenge, warn and activate our bodies to react accordingly to the situation. When it's too much, too intense and for too long, stress and anxiety lead to poor functioning, impairment and exhaustion resulting in stress and anxiety overload, contributing heavily to triggering anxiety disorders. In my therapy, I use therapeutic approaches and techniques that help reduce stress and anxiety and enhance the quality of your life and build your emotional resilience.

Anxiety and Stress are both life and living challenges. They are part of the normal obstacles we face in our lifetime, be it in health, in illness, in marriage, in couple and relationship issues, in aging and with our children. The thoughts, feelings and behaviors associated with them can often overwhelm and even paralyze us when they occur. In a supportive and empathic environment I help people understand and demystify these feelings and find coping strategies so that they can overcome these crippling experiences in order to live productively again.
