Stress, PTSD and Anxiety Therapists in North York, ON.

Anxiety and stress is not something that you have to just live with. It is a result of past or current life issues or upsets that is causing your thoughts and bodily reactions to work in a certain way. We will work to identify the causes of your anxiety and stress. We will create practical action plans that will help you to take action and control. We will work with your thoughts to uncover what thoughts are helping or hindering you to be relaxed. You will also learn ways to manage the physical symptoms of anxiety and stress.

Stress and anxiety is a part of everyone's day to day lives. However, when it becomes difficult to function due to loss of sleep, change in appetite, panic attacks, upset stomach, aches & pains, etc. therapy can be most beneficial. I use various relaxation techniques, deep breathing, mindfulness meditation, as well as talk therapy and cognitive behavioral therapy techniques (addressing self defeating automatic thinking patterns which effect our mood and behavior). I can teach you how to manage unpleasant symptoms related to stress and anxiety.

Low levels of anxiety can motivate us to accomplish goals and perform at our best. As the level of experienced anxiety creeps higher, it robs us of our joy and can make us feel overwhelmed resulting in either inactivity or a compulsion to be overactive yet not experiencing any lasting relief. Our sense of internal peace and calm is replaced by perpetual overthinking and fear. Let's work together to gain insight into the root cause of your anxiety so that we are able to empower you to reclaim your experience of joy and a sense of internal calm.

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. Book a free consultation to learn more about my approach and explore if we are a good fit.

Anxiety and stress can feel overwhelming, affecting both mind and body. In my work, I provide a calm, supportive space where clients can slow down and better understand their anxious patterns. Using a trauma-informed, Gestalt and somatic approach, we explore present-moment experiences, including thoughts, emotions, and body sensations. I help clients recognize triggers, build nervous system regulation skills, and develop practical tools to manage stress effectively. Rather than trying to eliminate anxiety completely, we focus on increasing awareness, resilience, and self-trust. Through this process, clients often feel more grounded, balanced, and confident in handling life’s pressures.
