Anxiety Counselling
Whether you're dealing with panic, phobias, or plain old anxiety - it's a very uncomfortable experience. Anxiety is so common in this crazy world, but it is possible to learn skills and tools to manage it. I will help you better understand your nervous system, identify the root of your anxiety, and find ways to soothe yourself.
Anxiety Therapy
Parts Work
Parts work (commonly known as Internal Family Systems/IFS or ego states), considers that we have many parts to us - and that our anxious part exists for a reason, and may need some space to be heard and better understood. This approach can foster self-understanding and compassion.
Mindfulness
Mindfulness is magic. Learning to pay attention in a purposeful and non-judgemental way to our inner experience can help us create a space to turn towards our anxiety rather than running away from it. I will guide you through experiences that can help you harness the magic of mindfulness.
Trauma Informed
Anxiety is a common symptom of trauma. Many of us have been through difficult experiences in life, and it can be important to understand how anxiety may have been a valid response to an abnormal situation. Let's get to the root cause so you can experience lasting relief.
Somatics
With the sweaty palms, racing heartbeat, and churning gut - anxiety is a deeply physical experience. Let's address the physical responses by tapping into the wisdom of the nervous system. I will teach you skills that will help you harness your body's relaxation response.
