Donna McLean
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, BA Honours (Psychology), MSW, RSW
Anxiety can feel like it's taking over your life, affecting your days and nights. When we have anxiety, we tend to avoid situations that create discomfort for us, limiting our options, and we can overthink decisions and review interactions over and over again. It can feel like being in a constant state of fight or flight. I can help you with tools for managing anxiety, and even get to the root of where the anxiety comes from and build a new relationship with parts of you that are struggling with intense fear or insecurity.

Life Coach, Ba Psychology, CF Thanatology, D Kessler – Grief Grief Coach Certif,M Devine – Grief Coach Certif
Anxiety and fear is a common part of grief because death is random - it just don't make sense to the griever. Death of someone special can make the world feel unsafe, untrustworthy, unpredictable, and out of control. After someone dies, many grievers begin waiting for the next bad thing to happen. A child is five minutes late, a partner does not answer the phone, a friend didn't call when they said they would, or someone they love seems unwell, and their mind immediately goes to the worst possible outcome.
I support adults who are experiencing grief-related anxiety, racing thoughts, fear, panic, overwhelm, and the feeling that they cannot trust life anymore. I explain why these reactions make sense after loss, especially when a death felt sudden, unfair, traumatic, or impossible to accept. I also provide practical tools to help clients manage anxious thoughts, calm their nervous system, cope with triggers, and live with grief without feeling controlled by fear.
