Reaching out can feel unnerving but it can also lead to a transformation, increasing a sense of ease in your life and overcoming barriers that have been holding you back. Are you overcome with worry about many things? Are you afraid of making a mistake or feeling embarrassed when you are in social situations? Do you have intrusive thoughts that lead to ritualistic behaviour? Have you had panic or do you fear the physical and emotional sensations of anxiety itself? Has trauma resulted in a cycle of fear, shame, intrusive memories and avoidance? Let’s connect and talk about effective solutions.

I am dedicated to creating a safe, and welcoming space for my clients. I specialize in attachment, emotion regulation, trauma, burnout and family dynamics. I hope to help clients curate self-compassion, deep connections and a greater levels of self-awareness. I also love to assist parents by teaching parents how to “emotion coach” their children. Through emotion coaching, parents are able to connect with their children, and help children learn how to take charge of their big emotions. I help parents know what to say for those moments when nothing seems to work!

Anxiety Counsellors

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.
