Stress, PTSD and Anxiety Therapists in Dorchester, ON.

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.

I have been trained in Cognitive Behaviour Therapy for Anxiety disorder. In the high paced environment we live in today, it is typical to have stress in your life but what if it starts to impact your daily living? How can you function at your best if you don't have coping strategies or are able to recognize your body signals? While in therapy you have the opportunity to talk out the issues while learning the skills to manage day-to-day problems. The benefit to counseling is feeling empowered over this mental health diagnoses and working on a relapse prevention plan to assist you in the future.

While anxiety and stress in small amounts can be a helpful source of information, too much can become overwhelming and even interfere with our daily lives. Therapy can be a space to explore the impacts of anxiety and how it may have become engrained into your self-narrative. You and I can work together to co-create coping strategies that are unique to your specific situation. Contact me to book a free consultation so we can decide together if we would be a good fit.
