“Smooth seas don’t make good sailors”--It's a bitter truth-- No One escapes the challenges of Life. "What’s the purpose of therapy?” I believe we are all leaders of our own lives. Whether we choose to believe so or not, we are still leading our lives everyday with the choices and decisions we make. We can either decide to make unconscious decisions, or we can finally learn about ourselves, and take charge by making more conscious decisions that will improve the quality of our lives. Therapy is learning about and then empowering that silent leader within you. "Life is a dance between what we can control and realizing what we cannot"

As such, I have years of experience helping others who have experienced stress and anxiety, depression, grief and loss, life transitions, as well as those who needed crisis intervention, or suicide intervention.
You are an intelligent, sophisticated, and open-minded individual who is an expert on who you are. You recognize the need to talk to someone and share your troubles, thoughts, and feelings with them. You may be searching for acceptance, understanding, or the undivided attention that both listening and therapy provides. You may need the reassurance that what you have to share is going to be heard and received without judgment. Whether you are feeling anxious, depressed, angry, stressed, grief, frustrated, or just need to hear another perspective, the assurance that you are not alone in your thoughts, can help ease the anguish.

Are you open to new possibilities? In order to understand who you want to be, you have to know who you are first. Gain insight and awareness into your situation, and learn to extract the lessons from your past struggles to develop new ways of coping and managing the challenges in your life. From early on, people learn behaviors to protect themselves for survival — but what worked in the past may no longer be helpful today. When basic human needs aren’t met, the outcome is often depression, anxiety, relationship conflict, or even addiction.

Anxiety and weight concerns are often the warning signs telling us we need to pay attention to something we are avoiding through food restriction or excess.
Does your anxiery, depression, weight concern, or emotions paralyze you? Much of the current research, including my own, shows that it's often in the on-going attempts to rid ourselves of "symptoms" that actually intensifies the problem. Often times it is these "avoidance" strategies that are largely responsible for keeping us trapped in an ongoing cycle of increased psychological suffering. Our anxiety, worry, unease and fears result in our living too much in the past or future. Through mindfulness and values-based living, we can work together to help you live a more authentic and present life.

I am a Christian Counselling Therapist and I counsel from a Christian, Biblically-based platform. My specialty is Accelerated Resolution Therapy (ART). ART is a fantastic therapy that helps people "Keep the Knowledge, Lose the Pain." My focus is to help people end the inner turmoil that holds them back from being all they were meant to be. Life can throw us curve balls and our perception can cause us to lose hope or become very anxious. Sometimes we are deeply affected because we grew up in an unstable environment, or from a lack of love. These things do not have to hold us prisoner for the rest of our lives.

Many of us have lost touch, abandoned, forgotten, or detached from the things that make us unique, bring us joy, and motivate us to build the life that we want to live. This sense of loss can produce many side effects such as anxiety, addiction, and depression. It can also cause us to attract relationships or people in our lives that are out of alignment with our soul's essence causing conflict, confusion, and chaos. If you are feeling lost, alone, confused, anxious, or rejected by others and or yourself - these can be clues that you have lost connection with important parts of yourself.

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 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.
