You have anxiety , maybe depression, definitely stress.
To other people you appear to be fine, however, on the inside, it feels like a completely different story. You get caught up in internal battles with your own mind, questioning your decisions, second-guessing yourself, overthinking things, and feeling lost, anxious, depressed. It's exhausting. You want to make changes and you are sick of feeling anxious, it is interfering in your life, your work, your relationships. You want things to be different. I can help you sort through the stories, the experiences that have led to this, and to change your old patterns, thoughts, and beliefs, and create the life that you want to live.

Many different events will impact our lives, most of the time we can deal with them, other times we cannot. A difficult childhood, the death of a loved one, the end of a relationship, an illness or accident, a toxic work environment, sexuality & gender, unemployment, the current pandemic affecting our world or just being at a new stage of our lives can cause us to feel lost within ourselves and the wider world. This can lead to anxiety or depression, it can affect our self-esteem and disconnect us from everyone around us, leaving us isolated and alone.

I work with people who need support to cope with anxiety , depression, relationship issues, disconnection from self, loss and grief.
Are you anxious or depressed, feeling isolated, lonely or overwhelmed? Are you struggling to manage some complicated emotional challenges? Maybe it’s difficult for you to get through a day without collapsing in an emotional heap. You may be dealing with the ending of an important relationship or you are struggling to come to terms with the death of someone you loved, feeling unable to cope with the grief you are experiencing. You may find it difficult to deal with a major life transition or with changes in your health or your body. Or maybe you just don’t know who you are anymore and you want more out of life.

I help people create a life that is worth being present for. I know the frustration of feeling stuck in your life. There is something that isn’t working for you - your mind, body, choices, patterns, job, relationship. Maybe your relationships are unsatisfying and you desire more connection, communication, safety and empathy with your friends and partner. Perhaps you are stuck in a pattern of people pleasing and often feel overlooked, undervalued and frustrated. It could be that your mind has tendencies that don’t work for you and you find yourself overwhelmed with overthinking, anxiety , depression or stress.

What are the most common treatments for anxiety?

Talk therapy, particularly cognitive behavioural therapy, is the most common treatment for anxiety. Studies have shown it is equally effective as medication. Other popular forms of therapy are popular, depending on a patient’s experience. Exposure therapy, for instance, can be useful for people dealing with fears and phobias, or who have experienced traumatic events. Dialectical Behavioural Therapy may be useful for patients who need help with emotion regulation. Anxiolytic medications, like benzodiazepines, can also help with calming a person enough to focus on the skills they’ve learned, and physical exercise has been shown to help symptoms of anxiety across the board.

How long does therapy for anxiety take to work?

The amount of time needed to alleviate symptoms depends on the severity of a person’s condition. Some therapies may take 5-20 weekly sessions to show results. Anti-depressant medications typically take two to four weeks before a benefit is felt. Anti-anxiety medications are felt typically within 20-30 minutes. Medications are best used to offer a patient a better headspace in which to work on techniques learned in therapy. Exercise, improved sleep habits, and meditation are effective, but takes weeks or months to show results.

When should I seek treatment for anxiety?

Everyone feels anxious at times, but when anxiety causes disruption to your daily life, it may be time to seek help. Such disruption can be mental, physical, or both: having fear dominate your thoughts, avoiding situations or objects that bring on feelings of anxiety, or experiencing shortness of breath, sweating, dizziness, or panic attacks. When these symptoms are recurrent and distressing, it may be time to talk to someone.

How effective is treatment for anxiety?

Treatment for anxiety has been shown to be moderately to highly effective, according to a large body of psychology studies and analyses. For some people, treatment using CBT or exposure therapy alone is effective. Others respond best to a combination of medication and therapy.
