We all experience anxiety – that knot in your stomach before a big presentation, the racing thoughts when facing a deadline. It’s a natural alarm system, alerting us to potential challenges. Many of us develop our own ways to cope with these everyday worries, and often, that’s enough.

However, anxiety can become more than just a fleeting feeling. When worry becomes persistent it can dictate your choices. It can lead you to avoid social situations. Or disrupt your sleep. Or fill your days with gnawing unease.

You can experience everyday anxiety without having a disorder. Think of it as a spectrum. Feeling anxious about a job interview, a health concern, or even forgetting if you locked the door is a normal part of life. But when these feelings become unmanageable, or are triggered by situations that don’t objectively pose a threat, it may be time to look a little deeper. That’s where we can help.

Your anxiety might look like:

• fearful anticipation future events
• nervousness and bodily reactions like tremors, dry mouth, shortness of breath
• worry and rumination
• intense fear of specific situations or objects
• intrusive and repetitive thoughts or compulsive behaviours

The good news is that anxiety, in all its forms, is highly treatable. You don’t have to let excessive worry dictate your life. We can provide you with the tools to navigate your anxiety effectively. We can help you identify the patterns that trigger it so you can get off the anxiety spiral. We’ll then teach you healthier responses, so you can build a more resilient and peaceful way of being.

If anxiety feels like it’s taking control, please don’t hesitate to reach out. We’re here to listen, understand, and guide you towards finding your calm so you can reclaim a life that you find fulfilling.
