Stress, Anxiety, and phobias can leave you feeling immobilized and powerless and unable to cope well. I can help you develop sound strategies to reducing your symptoms, help manage them, and to eradicate some of these from your life. I have successfully done so using the following modalities: Hypnotherapy, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, Mindfulness Techniques, and Energy Therapies, and using strategies that promote neuroplasticity which have helped to change distorted thinking and feeling patterns.

We all experience stress and anxiety from time to time, but sometimes the anxiety response can be exaggerated or over-activated which can interfere with our daily functioning. When anxiety gets to that point, it is no longer adaptive and needs to be addressed. Through a combination of identifying triggers, understanding how your thoughts influence your feelings, behaviours, and physical sensations, and developing effective coping and relaxation strategies, therapy can help you manage your anxiety and stress better and help you regain control of your life.

Stress and anxiousness is what we feel when we are trying to handle more than we can. My counselling approach can help you learn to challenge your thoughts and believes, think more realistically about life events and transitions; set clear personal and professional boundaries; (re)establish better balance between your work-school-life obligations; find sufficient time to do the things that really matter to you; have fun and get your life back 'on track' by knowing how to self-care. Approaches utilized: Solution Focused, Cognitive-Behavioural, Psychodynamic and Psychoeducational.

Everyone feels anxiety at some point in their lives but when it starts to interfere with your life, counseling can help. Although anxiety can feel debilitating, it is treatable.

Often when we encounter the pain from trauma we run from the danger, we freeze and get stuck or we go into fight mode to defend ourselves. We do this for good reason. This is how we were wired for protection from threat. At some point along the way we begin to realize that these responses may have helped us in the past when we were in survival mode but they are no longer serving us. We can learn to reflect on our past experiences with compassion and curiosity. Therapy approaches such as Internal Family Systems Therapy and EMDR can help to calm our nervous systems, heal our inner child and integrate our pain and distress in order to move forward as our true selves with more peace and joy.

Anxiety and stress affect each of us a little differently, such as feeling on edge, irritability, tension, worry and many other reactions.

In these unprecedented times in our lives many of us are dealing with feelings of great uncertainty about our individual future and how to handle and cope with life changes. Repetitive thoughts are often aligned with anxiety. Anxiety has a cyclical pattern and unless it is interrupted it will run its course, causes overwhelming feelings of fear and despair. Through a compassionate and observational lens reducing stress and anxiety will cultivate focus and clarity. Learning to connect to our senses is very grounded and can quickly break the anxiety cycle and help bring us back to our own center. Book a free consultation to see if we are a good fit.
