Helping individuals and families who experience Anxiety, Perfectionism, Eating Disorders, & Burnout from Kitchener, Ontario across Ontario & New Brunswick.
“Transforming stress, anxiety, burnout and frustration into calm, confident, and intentional living with individualized and neurodivergent affirming approaches to therapy sessions.”
Stress & Anxiety Therapy transforms you from being burnt-out and stuck to “saying heck yes, with confidence in your ability to live a life you both desire and dream of.”
Anxiety and Stress build each moment, as a silent internal experience of suffering. Loneliness leads you to feel doubt about getting better, and how to connect back with the life you so strongly want to have. You are tired of the ruminating negative thoughts that overwhelm you.
Potentially you've already told those people closest to you that you are struggling with life's unexpected challenges. Their reactions
You feel desperate and determined to get your life back on track. To feel that joy and happiness you had.
You are unsure how to make things right again, to feel more in control with less anxiety.
You are unsure who can help. You know you need to find the right person to guide you into living the life you desire.
Maybe the world around you has made you feel like you need to do this on your own,
leaving you feeling frustrated, alone and defeated.
Seeking out help can be overwhelming, & finding the right therapist takes time. Especially if you are neurodivergent, and have tried other types of therapy in the past which left you feeling unsure and exhausted.
