We’re often told to “be kinder to ourselves,” “ worry less,” or “communicate better
Today, there’s no shortage of information with self-help books, reels, even ChatGPT offering guidance on managing anxiety, understanding attachment, healing from childhood experiences, or setting boundaries. But having more information can make it even more discouraging when things don’t shift.

Hello ! I’m Hannah with Spark Your Growth. My work is focused on helping people heal trauma, understand how the brain works & learn to navigate their emotions. For nearly a decade I have seen clients build self-confidence, cope with life’s stressors, create stronger relationships, regulate stress, overcome burnout and achieve a life they want to live. Given that each person is unique, I understand there is no one-size fits all when it comes to therapy. I use a combination of process-oriented, somatic & cognitive therapies to create an approach that will meet each individual's needs & interests.

I work with adults who are struggling with ADHD, anxiety, overwhelm, and women's mental health concerns.
You've always managed. Pushed through. Found workarounds. But somewhere in your 30s and 40s, everything got harder, the brain fog, the overwhelm, the feeling that you're falling apart just when life expects the most from you.
Perimenopause is often the moment ADHD finally shows its face in women, or makes an already difficult condition nearly unmanageable. You're not losing your mind. You're not weak. You're dealing with something real that most providers don't understand, let alone treat.

I am a Registered Psychotherapist with more than ten years of experience supporting individuals with their mental wellness. I believe that clients are the experts of their own lives and at times become stuck with internal conflict, ways of being, or are in situations that are not conducive to growth. I believe that everyone is on their own spiritual journey and that for some, participating in therapy can encourage deeper understanding and help to unearth meaning in their life. I enjoy helping clients work to identify the source of thoughts, feelings and concerns with the goal of arriving at a place of understanding and acceptance.

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.
What are the most common types of treatment 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 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.
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.
