Experiencing anxiety, depression, grief, ADHD and parenting stress can be overwhelming.
As a parent and neurodivergent, I understand the complexity involved when attempting to cope on a daily basis. Approaching life with a neurodivergent brain can make even the most ordinary situations difficult to face. I believe with the right tools we can all negotiate life a little easier. Sometimes we all need a compassionate ear to help us through and some tools to help along the way.

I’m a therapist specializing in trauma, nervous system regulation, and chronic pain. I work with strongly driven clients who look like they’re holding everything together on the outside, but on the inside, it can feel like life is piling up and they’re losing control.

Feeling like you’re never good enough, even when you’re doing everything you can. Or noticing that you feel intensely stressed or on edge in situations where you know you’re safe.

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.
