My Therapy Approach

In our virtual sessions, I focus on creating a warm, non-judgemental environment where you can feel at ease exploring your current issues. I draw from a variety of therapeutic methods tailored to fit your unique needs. My therapeutic approach is informed by Cognitive Behaviour Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and Emotion Focused Therapy (EFT).

In our sessions, we'll explore the emotions underlying your anxiety, understand their roots, and learn tools on how to manage them effectively. So feel free to grab a cup of tea or coffee or anything that makes you feel cozy and comfortable!

Therapy Topics

  • Symptoms of anxiety and chronic worry can include:

    • Excessive worry about many different areas of life

    • Difficulty controlling worrying thoughts

    • Feelings of restlessness, fatigue, muscle tension

    • Trouble sleeping

    Therapy can help by providing a supportive environment to explore underlying issues contributing to anxiety and core fears. Often with anxiety, we underestimate our ability to cope. When we talk about our worst fears, we build our capacity to handle them. In therapy, we will learn coping strategies and skills to manage anxiety effectively and face our fears head-on. We cannot eliminate all of life’s anxieties, but we can change our relationship with anxiety and stop it from holding us back.

  • Symptoms of anxiety related to health or illness can include:

    • Excessive and/or unrealistic worry that is difficult to control about health concerns

    • Frequent checking of the body for signs of illness

    • Seeking reassurance from healthcare providers

    • Avoiding situations or activities that might trigger health anxiety

    There are different types of health anxiety disorders. The first is Illness Anxiety Disorder (IAD). Formerly known as hypochondriasis, IAD involves persistent fear or belief that one has a serious illness, despite medical reassurance and minimal or no physical symptoms. The second is Somatic Symptom Disorder (SSD): Individuals with SSD may experience physical symptoms that are perceived as indicative of a serious medical condition, despite medical reassurance that there is no condition.
