Stress, PTSD and Anxiety Therapists in Kingston, ON.

Anxiety is a difficult and often paralyzing challenge to overcome. I use a combination of narrative and cognitive-behavioural approaches to addressing this issue. Clients can expect to learn about how their thoughts patterns reinforce experiences of anxiety and will gain insight into how their past experiences may have made them vulnerable to the influence of anxiety. Clients can expect to cultivate their attributes, knowledges or intentions to put them up against the anxiety and move forward with their life in the way that they prefer.

Anxiety can leave you feeling overwhelmed, stuck in your head, or constantly on edge. You might notice racing thoughts, tension in your body, or trouble relaxing. Together, we take time to understand where your anxiety comes from and what keeps it going. With support, understanding, and self-awareness, you can feel calmer, more grounded, and better able to face situations that once felt overwhelming. Clients often notice improved confidence, reduced stress, and the ability to manage their thoughts and emotions more effectively.

Anxiety and stress can be ever present in the hustle and bustle of today’s society. I know first-hand how consuming these experiences can be and how much it can take to overcome them.

In my work, I support clients in developing and applying individualized tools that best fit them, their lifestyle, and their experiences to manage and overcome the anxiety.

Do you feel overwhelmed? Does anxiety and worry prevent you from living the way you would like? Counselling can give you a safe space to freely communicate and process your emotions. Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) is the most popular therapy for anxiety disorders. It has been shown to be highly effective in helping people with both generalized and social anxiety.

External stressors cause internal reactions as a survival mechanism. Fight, flight, freeze! being tense and constantly hypervigilant is exhausting and often leads to the development of fatigue and generally unhelpful habits (working too much, drinking too much, eating too much, using anger to obtain what we and then feeling guilty & ashamed). Learning to relax, have fun and enjoy life on its own terms is critical. To help people accomplish this task, I start with providing education about what happens physiologically when we are under stress. Then, I teach CBT based strategies including confronting unhelpful thought patterns, exposure and connecting with and processing difficult emotions.
