I am trained, not only to teach you to manage anxiety/panic, but to get rid of it. Often when we feel anxious it feels like it comes from nowhere. In reality It often comes from an unconscious fear. The fear is that a painful feeling from your past (ex, shame) is going to be felt in the present. If you were bullied, a sense of helplessness and humiliation is a trigger for you. If you were made to feel stupid, growing up, any current situation which makes you feel stupid is felt as anxiety. Other triggers are, I'm not good enough, at fault, bad. selfish. a bother, etc. Our work together is to identify your triggers and work together to eliminate their effect on you. Let's get started.

Anxiety comes from not feeling safe. I work with you to uncover the underlying factors that have led you to feeling unsafe, and look at strategies that help ensure safety. I practice Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction and somatic experiencing to teach your body to calm itself using breathwork and gentle movement.

Anxiety often hits us unexpectedly. We might manage stress well enough until at some point the body's resources seem to get diminished and the body starts to talk back. Some symptoms of Anxiety & Stress might be: difficulty breathing, sleeping and/or eating; restless mind; negative thoughts and tumultuous emotions. The work I find most helpful to improve your skills for dealing with these fear-based emotions; includes cultivating a better relationship with your body and your emotions. As you become more aware of your actual limitations and pay greater attention to your needs, your body can achieve a more balanced state.

Anxiety and Stress can be such a plague to people who suffer from them. These symptoms can be extremely debilitating and frustrating.

Are you feeling stressed, exhausted, burned out, and run down? Have you been exposed to stress and trauma through your work as a front-line healthcare professional? Our biological bodies and brains were not designed for the types of financial, cultural, social, and relational stressors we live with today. I see anxiety as a reminder to start listening to our body, our mind, and spirit. I can help you with Mindfulness-based stress reduction and self-care approaches to guide you toward a more peaceful, meaningful, and fulfilling life.

Using evidence-based and individualized strategies, I help clients to find ways to manage and thrive. Book a free consultation to explore if we are a good fit.

Anxiety is internalized prolonged internal stress. Often people are afraid because they have never owned up to themselves. It is completely understandable with the world we live in today and all the expectations placed on we can often become overwhelmed. It can be a forever on going pressure from anything such as, ageing; being alone; illness losing a job/family member/possession. Things that require action can also be heavy stress factors; relationships; losing weight; intimacy; career. Our inner state of mind; feeling rejected, like a failure; low self-image. Etc. "This is not true you have handled everything up till now". Reaching out for support is the first step to creating change.

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.

Anxiety is an inescapable emotion, we've evolved to have this signal emotion. However, when a person regularly feels debilitating or distracting levels of anxiety, it can really hold them back. We begin anxiety with cognitive-behavioral therapy, which helps individuals identify and change negative thought patterns, and then tailor other types of Psychotherapy based on the individual's needs. We often focus on their relationships and communication patterns. By tailoring treatment, we're able to ensure each client gets help that meets them where they're at

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.

Stress and anxiety are the biggest preventable causes of unhappiness and illness. They poison your relationships, self-esteem, health, and happiness. The goals in helping you manage your stress/anxiety are to understand what your personal reaction to anxiety-provoking situations are, identify what your related concerns are, and learn to "let go" of anxiety. I will help you become more aware of the internal self-talk and how your thoughts affect your feelings. Thoughts affect feelings - feelings affect actions.

Anxiety and stress is increasingly a part of our day to day lives. Sometimes it becomes too much for us to handle however and we find ourselves functioning at a lower level, experiencing panic attacks, and perhaps even becoming stuck - feeling paralyzed to make any decisions or do anything.

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.
