Therapy for Anxiety in Ontario

Compassionate Online Support to Help You Feel More Confident and in Control of Your Response to Anxiety

Anxiety can feel overwhelming—but with the right support, it becomes more manageable. I offer personalized therapy for anxiety, rooted in psychodynamic and cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), available online for adults across Ontario. Together, we’ll work on building insight and practical tools to help you feel more grounded, less overwhelmed, and better equipped to navigate life’s challenges.

What is Anxiety?

Understanding the Mind-Body Connection Behind Worry and Fear

Anxiety is a natural human response to stress, uncertainty, or perceived danger. It often presents as persistent worry, nervousness, or unease—sometimes accompanied by physical symptoms like a racing heart, rapid breathing, or dizziness. While it’s normal to feel anxious occasionally, ongoing anxiety can disrupt your daily life and emotional well-being. It may show up as generalized anxiety, panic attacks, social anxiety, or phobias.

Common Causes of Anxiety

Anxiety Looks Different for Everyone—Here Are Some Contributing Factors

Anxiety doesn’t have a single cause. For many people, it’s the result of a combination of biological, emotional, and environmental factors. These may include:

  • Major life changes or trauma

  • Genetic predisposition

  • Brain chemistry imbalances

  • Sensitive temperament or personality traits

  • Chronic stress or burnout

Understanding the roots of your anxiety is an important step toward healing.

How Anxiety Can Affect Your Life

The Ripple Effect of Untreated Anxiety

When anxiety is left unaddressed, it can affect nearly every part of your life:

  • Emotional distress: persistent worry, restlessness, or fear

  • Physical symptoms: fatigue, muscle tension, nausea

  • Relationship struggles: difficulty connecting or expressing yourself

  • Decreased functioning: challenges at work, school, or home

Therapy can help you gain insight, relieve distress, and feel more in control.

How Therapy Can Help with Anxiety

Personalized Approaches for Deeper Healing and Sustainable Relief

In therapy, we’ll work together to understand the unique factors driving your anxiety. I use an integrative approach tailored to your needs, combining:

  • Psychodynamic Therapy: Uncover underlying emotional patterns, early life experiences, and unresolved conflicts that may be contributing to your anxiety.

  • Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT): Identify and shift unhelpful thoughts and behaviours, while developing healthier coping strategies.

  • Art Therapy: Use creativity and mindfulness to explore emotions, release tension, and connect with inner insight.

This holistic method supports not just symptom relief, but deeper emotional healing and resilience.

You're Not Alone—Support Is Here

Find Clarity, and Compassionate Care

Anxiety can make you feel isolated—but you don’t have to navigate it alone. Therapy provides a safe space to feel heard, understood, and supported as you explore the root of your anxiety and learn ways to manage it.

Our work together is not about eliminating anxiety completely—it’s about building a meaningful relationship with yourself, learning to respond to anxiety with insight and strength, and finding calm even when life feels uncertain.

Start Your Journey Toward Managing Anxiety with Confidence

You may not eliminate anxiety—but with the right support, you can learn to live with it more peacefully and confidently.

I offer online therapy for anxiety to adults throughout Ontario from my virtual clinic based in North York. 

Don’t let anxiety continue to run the show.
Let’s take that first step—together.
