I believe we all have moments in our lives when we experience stress and anxiety. Every single one of us could benefit from tools taken from mindfulness exercises as I do in my personal life. I tend to address these issues from a teaching and practicing approach with clients. Its one thing to suggest and explain something, but there has been greater success when we try it out together in session. I have used role play exercises from time to time when the client feels it would be beneficial to decrease the intensity of their anxiety. I love when my clients confidence starts to build because they have implemented what we have practiced in session and learned that it works!

Stress can take a toll on your mental health and trigger anxiety. In people who have an anxiety disorder, stress can make it more challenging to manage the symptoms of anxiety. Increases in this hormone are related to anxiety. Anxiety and stress can be overwhelming and sometimes entirely disabling. They interfere with our lives and prevent us from living our best version of selves. In our therapy sessions, we work together to explore the stressors and anxiety that have been impacting you and your ability to lead a healthy stress-free life. We identify options on how to manage your anxiety better using mindfulness and CBT techniques and help you build your own tools box.

It is normal to worry and feel stressed about life's problems and pressures. But when compounded symptoms begin to overwhelm us to the point where we are getting headaches, heart palpitations, a churning stomach, cold sweats, sleepless nights, weight loss, obsessive thoughts, a distressed GI tract - then we need help to break the adrenaline-fear cycle. Anxiety feeds on fear and needs to be confronted, appropriately and safely, with relaxation techniques, new perceptions and constructive thinking patterns. A counsellor can help you do this.

Anxiety and stress are often met with the thoughts that they are out of your control. Through Cognitive Behaviour Therapy. By learning how to identify the thoughts, feelings and body reactions that you experience, you will be able to develop an action plan to reduce these reactions in stressful situations. Recommendations are made to track your moods and emotions outside of therapy and practice strategies when situations occur.

Stress and anxiety trigger the internal alarm system, alerting us to a threat, and activating our nervous system, sending a flood of stress hormones through the body in preparation to fight the threat, or run from it. When the brain determines the threat is gone it sends the signal that the body returns to its natural calm state. But what if the brain fails to tell the body that the threat is gone? This is where stress and anxiety start to build and become seemingly impossible to endure. I work with my clients to reduce the presence of stress, to cope and mange it better, while learning how to intentionally activate the body's calming mechanisms.

Are you stressed and anxious? Of course you are! Never has daily life been more full of complications and competing priorities; but focusing on changing our behaviours often leaves us feeling even more defeated. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), which has been proven to be the most effective treatment for anxiety, allows us to focus on our core beliefs and how they create automatic thoughts, which create anxiety and cause damaging behaviours such as avoidance and withdrawal. In addition to CBT strategies, we will explore how your past experiences have created a roadmap for how you view yourself, others, and the world, and will work to repair any roadblocks caused by those experiences.

There are multiple conditions associated with anxiety and stress, such as Generalized Anxiety Disorder, Social Anxiety Disorder, Adjustment Disorder or Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder. These are all complex conditions that require specific and nuanced therapeutic approaches such as Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, Exposure Therapy or Cognitive Processing Therapy. When delivered by a trained, qualified and experience professional, these treatments are considered highly effective.

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 can come in many forms, such as: panic and anxiety attacks; extreme fear; worrying thoughts from which one rarely gets a break; sleeplessness either due to going over and over how one behaved during the day, and judging oneself, or, from dreading what the following day might bring; fear and avoidance of one's own intense emotions; fear of rejection of others, leading to intense social anxiety or avoidance of close relationships; performance anxiety, such as worries about exams, job interviews, or performance appraisals at one's place of work. I like to get a sense of the frequency, intensity, and duration of somebody's anxiety, and then to help them to reduce all 3.
