Anxiety therapy in Oakville, Ontario
If you're struggling with anxiety, you don't need a one-size-fits-all solution. Instead, therapy can offer a personalized approach toward understanding how anxiety shows up in your life within the context of your unique experiences.
I take a warm, compassionate, and non-judgmental approach to therapy. I put your experiences at the centre of the process so you can begin to untangle the looping thoughts, what-ifs, and constant overanalyzing that can make anxiety feel so overwhelming
You may be struggling with symptoms of Anxiety if...
-
​​​You feel nervous, irritable, restless or tense
-
You have a sense of impending danger, panic or doom
-
Your heart rate is up
-
You have trouble sleeping
-
You have trouble controlling your worries
-
You have the urge to avoid things (people, places, situations) that trigger anxiety
-
You have trouble concentrating or thinking about anything other than the present worry
If you are experiencing any of these common symptoms of Anxiety, you are not alone. However, these may be signs that it is time to get the support you need and deserve.
When you constantly feel like your mind is racing, are overwhelmed with worry or fear, or are stuck in a cycle of rigid thinking, it's hard to imagine things could be different. But with support, change is possible.
You might feel like anxiety is taking over your life and that an overwhelming sense of dread is constantly lurking in the background. It might feel like there is no escape and that every situation is too much to handle. You may find yourself worrying about things that haven't happened yet. It's exhausting, and the constant tension can make it hard to imagine a life where you feel calm, centred and in control.
​
But it is possible. Imagine a day when you don't feel that tight knot in your chest and your mind isn't consumed with endless "what ifs". With support, you can manage your anxiety in a way that can feel more grounded. There is hope for finding calm in the choas and you don't have to do it alone.
Together, we'll work on understanding your anxiety, creating insight, and fostering self-compassion so you can begin to gain more control and feel a little lighter.
