Stress, PTSD and Anxiety Therapists in Stoney Creek, ON.

We are living in a high pace, stressful world and it is easy for this to take a toll on our well being. We work with adults, children and teens in need of a place to work through anxiety and stress. Children also deal with stress and anxiety. We use developmentally appropriate approaches in our work with children. We integrate a cognitive behavioural approach into play and music therapy interventions to help children cope better.

Anxiety and stress, sometimes they're manageable... sometimes they aren't. If you are having difficulty managing the anxiety and stress, I strive to work with people to navigate and explore their stressors to understand them and gain insight and perspective into those stress patterns so we can collaboratively devise empowering ways to manage them.

Are you feeling anxious, on edge, and having trouble winding down at the end of the night? Perhaps you're more irritable than usual, have tension in your body that won't seem to go away, or racing thoughts that keep you up at night? Or your anxiety might be more specific to certain situations - social settings, a particular phobia, or something that triggers panic attacks. Do you find yourself avoiding what it is that makes you anxious? This is understandable - but it does not have to be this way. Anxiety can be worked through, and you can bring more peace, calm, and confidence to your life. Contact CBT Solutions today to learn about this highly effective, evidence based treatment.

I love working with people who wrestle with anxiety and stress, I love it because of the difference I witness in the lives and experiences of my clients. Employing a blend of mindfulness, somatic experiencing and neuroscience (polyvagal) techniques, the felt experience of anxiety can be managed in an entirely new way for you, and can lead to profound change in your life. I can not make it so that you never feel anxious again, but we can work to help you learn what to do when you experience the familiar sensations of anxiety, so that it doesn't take over your thoughts, body and life.

Stress and anxiety when present within healthy limits can stimulate, motivate, challenge, warn and activate our bodies to react accordingly to the situation. When it's too much, too intense and for too long, stress and anxiety lead to poor functioning, impairment and exhaustion resulting in stress and anxiety overload, contributing heavily to triggering anxiety disorders. In my therapy, I use therapeutic approaches and techniques that help reduce stress and anxiety and enhance the quality of your life and build your emotional resilience. You develop skills to minimize distress and maximize efficacy in many areas of your living and live life in a happier and healthier manner

It's like you're under attack from an invisible force no one else can see. You're tired of explaining it to people, knowing they won't understand. Unless you've experienced anxiety, you just don't know what it's like. I've dealt with it personally, and I've combined what works for me with what has worked for hundreds of other clients over the past seven years to create a unique counselling approach. Expect no-nonsense, down to earth counselling where we talk like normal people. Work through your issues, but also learn new strategies and set goals for the future. You supply the effort, and I'll supply the framework you need to realize the changes you'd like to see in your life.

I offer a compassionate environment to help you explore ways to regain a sense of balance, control, and inner peace. We will work together to develop practical stress management tools, improve emotional regulation, and focus on lifestyle adjustments for long-term resilience. If you're ready for relief, please contact me to schedule a free 15-minute consultation to see if we are a good fit.

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.
