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

Anxiety is our body's natural alarm system that tells us when something is wrong. Though sometimes, our alarm system needs to be re-wired a bit. This is what we do in therapy. We first start with looking at the cause of the stress and anxiety, and then together look for ways to manage the feelings that work for you. A psychodynamic approach to anxiety management looks like managing symptoms and then diving a bit deeper to see where our unconscious beliefs and expectations of ourselves merge with how we relate to people and the world. Anxiety is a physical reaction, so being able to tune into what is happening in our body will help us be able to calm it.

Coping with stress can be normal for you, interfere with lifestyle and even become panic attacks. Having experienced anxiety, I can understand your struggle and offer practical suggestions for you. Recognizing signs of stress, learning new coping skills, and identitying your specific triggers are part of counselling. Action steps to cope with panic attacks may be helpful to you and those who support you. Retraining the brain with CBT and expressing emotions in a healthy way are counselling opportunities to reduce anxiety and stress in your life and relationships.

We all experience anxiety and stress. But anxiety becomes a problem when it involves ongoing worry that is hard to control; thinking the worst when the worst is unlikely to happen; exaggerated fears; a high level of discomfort in social situations; recurrent thoughts, images or impulses; trauma-based memories memories and fears; feelings of panic. Therapy for anxiety helps people reduce or eliminate the thoughts that trigger their anxiety; helps them to re-engage with situations that are being avoided or escaped from prematurely; and helps them to better manage inherently stressful situations.

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.

We will explore practical ways to help you feel more grounded, balanced, and in control.

Anxiety is generally a fear of a wide variety of things, by addressing the roots of the anxiety and understanding that it can be faced head on, clients often find relief from the things that make them anxious. My work with anxiety is always gradual and clients are first made comfortable with their anxiety and then learn to cope and at times reduce anxieties where appropriate.

Anxiety and stress is increasingly a part of our day to day lives.

Stress, anxiety, and panic attacks are all too common in our sometimes overwhelming day to day lives: partners, work, children, family and other stressors are constantly pushing us to the breaking point. We also can experience anxiety that seemingly comes out of nowhere, anxiety that seems irrational such as a fear of getting out of the house, shopping, being around people or strange places. I work with my clients to overcome these fears; not only do I help relieve the symptoms with tried and true CBT methods, but I also like to go a bit deeper and look for the causes of anxiety. When these causes are addressed, the anxiety is more likely to go away for good.

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.

Anxiety and stress can become utterly overwhelming. I will help you to uncover what is getting in the way of living your optimal life and to build new skills to manage it.
