For the past 10 years, I have enjoyed helping clients work through their struggles related to anxiety and stress, especially when it comes to career and workplace related stresses.

Therapy with me offers a caring space to slow down and explore the roots of your anxiety and stress. Together, we examine what feels overwhelming and the expectations you carry: where they originate from and whether they truly benefit you. Often, these pressures come from systemic, cultural, or societal beliefs that influence how we define worth and success. In our work, we increase awareness of these influences while developing tools for calm, clarity, and self-compassion. This process helps you feel more grounded, empowered, and capable of facing life’s challenges with presence instead of pressure.

In working with individuals who struggle with anxiety, I use both a cognitive behavioural therapeutic (CBT) approach and eye movement desensitization reprocessing (EMDR) therapy. The principal aim of cognitive behavioural therapy is to increase awareness that thoughts and behaviour drive emotion. My aim is to increase consciousness of distorted perceptions, and then assist individuals in rebalancing those perceptions to be more accurate. EMDR focuses specifically on reprocessing traumatic memories that are at the root of the anxiety. Through EMDR individuals can come to terms with traumatic and distressing memories that underlie anxiety.

I am always researching what works in the field of anxiety treatment. I am currently exploring exposure therapy through virtual reality which can help the client complete more gradual exposures in a less risky environments before trying the exposure in real life.
