Counsellor/Therapist, M.Ed, RP (Qualifying), RCC, CCC
I work with individuals who experience worrying thoughts related to themselves, their relationships or their health. These thoughts create a lot of stress and it feels like you're on edge all the time. It's hard to enjoy downtime and sometimes difficult to socialize with others. You constantly feel like you should be doing something and feel guilty or worried when you aren't. I support clients in reducing their experience of distress and support them in living their day-to-day in a way that works for them. *Free 15 min Consultation Phone Call*

I offer compassionate holding to hear your story and help you understand more about your anxiety (which may also include depression). Together we'll develop strategies that help you feel ease, calm, and confidence. Techniques include CBT, breathwork, somatic, developing essential qualities (love, courage, curiosity, certainty, and peace)and tailored homework to your specific strengths and weaknesses.
We will explore the different parts of you that experience anxiety, uncovering the underlying fears and core beliefs that contribute to your distress. By gently connecting with these deeper parts of yourself, we will identify and address the root causes of your anxiety. Utilizing IFS and incorporating inner child work, we will connect with the parts of you that hold these fears and the parts stuck in these beliefs. Through techniques such as free association and creative expression, we will help these parts learn to trust you and your system. This process will empower you to find the courage and inner strength to overcome and reduce the fear, developing healthier coping strategies and fostering a greater sense of inner peace and resilience.

Our therapists have a background in multiple different approaches to support those dealing with anxiety. All of the therapists at our clinic specialize in Anxiety.
Our Fears and Anxieties are normally rooted early in life, as protective measures. As we grow and mature, we learn to adapt to many external aspects of daily life. All to often we forget about the internal and what is no longer serving us as a protector, but rather as an inhibitor. Our sessions will look to build their confidence, self-awareness, and their ability to enrich the relationships within their lives.
For dealing with anxiety, first of all, I help my clients to manage their physical symptoms of anxiety and then they are able to take control of their bodies, secondly we try to identify automatic negative thoughts and learn how to deal with them and challenge them. It is okay to have anxiety, but you need to learn how to deal with it faster.

Feeling afraid and anxious can be overwhelming and consuming. It's like being in a constant state of alertness, with your mind racing and your body on edge, anticipating danger or harm. Physically, you might experience a racing heart, sweating, trembling, or shortness of breath. Mentally, you may feel a sense of dread, worry or unease, tightness in the chest, and unable to shake off the feeling of impending danger. It can be exhausting, affecting your ability to concentrate, sleep, or enjoy things you once loved. Fear and anxiety can also lead to avoidance behaviors, as you try to steer clear of anything that triggers those feelings. Being distressed like this can impact every aspect of your life, with seemingly no end in sight. Daniel suffered through 7 nervous breakdowns between the ages of 18 to 23 - over 35 years ago giving him deep personal experience with anxiety and fear. So, Daniel understands. Access him to help you turn the tables on this insidious enemy.
I help empower clients to overcome the challenges that hold them back from living a life of peace and fulfillment.
Using the transformative power of hypnotherapy, I provide a safe and supportive environment where clients can confront and conquer their anxieties and fears. Together, we explore the root causes of these emotional barriers, develop effective coping mechanisms, and reframe negative thought patterns. Witnessing my clients regain their confidence, find inner calm, and embrace a life free from anxiety or fear is truly rewarding.
Anxiety can be crippling. It can keep you from enjoying social situations, excelling at work or school, or keeping you in a constant state of fear. You don't have to go through life scared of living. Yes, the unknown can be scary so let's talk about when that started, if it's really true (fun fact: not all thoughts are true!), other ways of looking at the situation, learning new skills, and trying new ways of being. We can develop a new you!
Anxiety and fear is rampant in today's world. Our tendency to be anxious often starts in childhood where we've had anxious caregivers, insecurities, neglect, lack of nurture and validation, trauma, or any other adverse experience. I believe it is important to find the root cause of anxiety so it can be managed or even eliminated altogether. In Christian counselling we examine what God says about anxiety and how he can give us peace in the midst of our storms.
What does anxiety feel like in your body? Perhaps it includes a high heart rate, sweatiness, difficulty speaking, shakiness, unsettled, not able to think clearly. These are common physiological symptoms our body produces when perceiving outside threats, because anxiety is a natural biological response. Unfortunately, anxiety can become a learned over-reaction which is when we feel those symptoms in inconvenient times such as new social settings or high-pressure environments. In therapy we can discuss personalized ways to cope with anxiety so it becomes easier to tolerate.
When working with anxiety or fears, I like to start with some mindfulness around the issue to gain a deeper understanding of the experience, from here there are many options, and I rely of the client's wisdom to guide me.
Anxiety is a normal emotion; however, it can become too much if it's too frequent or intense. We are here to help you feel calmer and safer in your own skin.
