Anxiety Therapy in Guelph.

How Anxiety Can Show Up

  • Racing thoughts, overthinking, or constant what-ifs

  • Tension, restlessness, trouble sleeping, stomach issues

  • Panic or fear of panic, avoidance of places/people

  • Perfectionism, self-criticism, decision paralysis

  • Feeling “on edge” or braced for the worst

These are common nervous-system responses to stress. You’re not failing—you’re adapting.

How Therapy Helps

  • Name and normalize anxiety patterns with compassionate, clear language

  • Regulate your nervous system (grounding, breath, pacing—no overwhelm)

  • Unhook from rumination and catastrophic loops

  • Build boundaries and micro-choices that lower daily stress

  • Strengthen self-trust so decisions feel simpler

My work is psychodynamic and attachment-based, integrating IFS-informed approaches for parts of self. When helpful, we’ll add gentle skills practice. No rigid protocols or promises—just thoughtful, steady care.

  • 50 minutes, in person in Guelph or secure video across Ontario
