For most, the juggling act of life feels quite demanding and if one has a pre-disposition towards anxiety and/or an unusually stressful event unfolding, it’s not uncommon to experience symptoms ranging from a consistent, low grade, uncomfortable buzzing sensation to anxiety attacks. When working with clients who are struggling with anxiety, I assess whether or not the source is organic, environmental or both, and then we create a course of action accordingly. This will likely include building insight into past and present experiences that are influencing one’s anxiety, psycho-education about anxiety, mindfulness and grounding skills, and potential referrals to other providers such as an acupuncturist, craniosacral therapist or a psychiatrist.

Some of the specific struggles I work with are:

• anxiety existing alongside or masking depression

• social anxiety

• an anxious response to certain emotions arising

• acute anxiety experienced in specific relationships

• career anxiety

• anxiety related to saying “no”

• anxiety attacks

• anxiety related to grief and loss
