Anxiety Disorders and Phobias

A large part of Brittany’s work has focused on the treatment of anxiety disorders, including generalized anxiety disorder, social anxiety, performance anxiety, and panic disorders.

 

Brittany can help you understand where the anxiety comes from, what triggers it and how to manage it. Brittany is skilled at helping you develop a tool kit filled with effective coping skill and strategies that you can confidently carry with you, even outside of therapy. Whenever you feel overcome with anxiety, you can refer to your tool kit to help you through it. Brittany is also skilled in treating fears and phobias.

Body-Focused Repetitive Behaviours

BFRBs are widely neglected concerns, which impact a large number of people in our community. Hair-pulling, skin-picking, severe nail biting, nose picking, and cheek biting are all common BFRBs, that are treatable. With a knowledgeable therapist, you can overcome the shame, stop the behaviours, and live the kind of life you want to. Brittany has training specific to BFRBs, including the Comprehensive Behavioural Model for BFRBs (ComB), and specialized EMDR training. She can help you come up with an individualized treatment plan, as she knows that BFRBs have many different characteristics.

Brittany’s personal experiences, combined with her training and experience, allow her to empathetically, and effectively help individuals overcome grief, including traumatic grief.

 

When you are ready, Brittany can help you reconnect to the positive memories you have, and learn to move forward.
