Stress, PTSD and Anxiety Therapists in Lashburn, SK.

I work with people who struggle with a variety of anxiety problems, such as generalized anxiety disorder, obsessive-compulsive disorder, post-traumatic stress disorder and others. I also work with people who struggle with anxiety and stress that is problematic but not enough to be diagnosed as a disorder. I use Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy to address anxiety issues. I encourage clients to summon their bravery to confront their anxiety and assign bravery projects to help them challenge it.

Anxiety is a normal human experience, an adaptive signal meant to notify us that something is wrong, something needs to be attended to. However, many people feel overwelmed with anxiety and stress, their mind racing, over-thinking, the never ending struggles of the mind. I love helping people come to see their anxiety and their patterns of reactivity as only one part of who they are, and to develop ways to attend more fully to other aspects of their experience; to learn to live more fully in the present moment.

Many people deal with anxiety and stress. I provide comprehensive strategies and tools to help cope with stress and anxiety which focus on managing the mind and the body. Many clients report success and begin to feel better when they practise the skills they learn in my practise. There is particular focus on mood management which focusses on changing the way your brain responds

While our bodies are perfectly designed to adapt and react to stress, modern problems mean that we tend to detect life threatening dangers in very ordinary places. Conflicts at work, arguments in our relationships and uncertainties such as the post-Covid world activate old survival mechanisms. We may be stuck in the buzzing, fear states of ‘fight-flight’ or the numb and paralyzed states of ‘freeze and shut down.’ The good news is that I have a long history of safely and successfully helping individuals and couples to reduce and release stress using a variety of CBT and mindfulness techniques, as well as trauma-informed therapy. You have my commitment to compassionate and educated care.

If you're struggling with anxious thoughts, you may find it hard to focus. The fight or flight alarm is going off in your brain, constantly sending you messages starting with "what if...." If worrying is keeping you trapped in a hamster wheel, tired, but unable to rest, you may find yourself turning to addictive substances or behaviours to cope. As an addiction counsellor, I help clients cope with the anxious thoughts keeping them trapped in addictive behaviours. By uncovering these underlying thoughts, I help you develop coping skills so you can gain a sense of focus, clarity, confidence, and freedom from constantly overthinking.
