Stress, PTSD and Anxiety Therapists in Sun Peaks, BC.

Stress is a normal part of life. It can be productive and restrictive. Each person handles stress differently; too much stress, with an extreme responsive reaction, can be harmful. If your stress or anxiety has reached intolerable levels you should contact a physician for assessment. Once assessed you should consider seeing a therapist for treatment of the underlying aspects of your stress and anxiety. We provide a safe, caring and nurturing environment for treatment of stress and anxiety. As well, with tailored therapies such as talk, cognitive-behavioral and counselling we work with you to ensure maximum recovery so that you may embrace a renewed freedom, vision and flow in life.

If you're up against anxiety, I offer an empowering and collaborative approach. There is an opportunity to explore your experience and to begin to see yourself as separate from anxiety. Through conversations, you may begin to identify alternative stories that challenge anxious thoughts and beliefs. We'd attend to your capacity and establish coping strategies to foster a sense of possibility. Together the we would co-create a new narrative that emphasizes the your resiliency, self-compassion and a greater sense of calm.

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...."

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. Send me a message and I'll guide you through the next steps.

Anxiety and stress are an inevitable part of everyone's lives at some times, but sometimes it can feel out of control and unmanageable. Working with youth and adults for over 20 years has helped me to see hundreds of different coping tools, strategies and support systems play out over time. Some work well and some not so well.

Anxiety and stress is part of the human experience. In fact, anxiety is a natural operational response in our brain to keep us safe and secure over our lifespan. However, sometimes our brains don't stop trying to keep us safe from phobias/fears and intense discomfort of uncertainty. This can result in unwanted distress and anxiety that can take over our lives and hold us back from our goals or enjoying life. I use approaches to help you through your experience of anxiety.
