Jeremy Finkelstein, ADHD Psychotherapist
Registered Psychotherapist, RP
Stress can build when life’s demands feel greater than your ability to manage them. ADHD may make competing priorities, deadlines, and unfinished tasks especially overwhelming. I help adults identify patterns of overload and develop practical ways to create greater clarity, balance, and resilience.

Nora Taylor, MA, RP
Registered Psychotherapist, Master of Arts in Counselling Psychology 1994
When stress goes unnoticed or pushed down in our psyche; it tends to become more intense. It requires that we be conscious of and face what is happening. That in itself can change it. Two resources for this is Elissa Epel; The Stress Prescription.

Nadia Malik
Registered Psychotherapist
Stress can be an overwhelming pressure that doesn’t give you room to breathe. It may feel like you are constantly on edge, irritated with never enough time in the day. When you’re stressed you may forget what’s important to you and leave behind things that bring you joy and pleasure thereby losing touch with yourself and your loved ones. Stress can lead to burnout. Together we can work on stress management, addressing underlying causes, relaxation, and better scheduling for your life to create a healthy sustainable balance.

Franklynn Bartol
Pre-Licensed Professional, RP (Qualifying), MSc, MA
While stress typically constricts our experiences, one aim of therapy is to find more freedom—to feel, connect, think, and act with more freedom and agency in your life. Oftentimes, there are unconscious narratives or patterns underlying our stress, making it hard to get unstuck. Stress is typically rooted in a mixture of external and internal pressures that can be hard to untangle alone. Stress symptoms may even be masking other emotions or needs. Talking with someone who's curious and attuned to the fullness of your experiences can reveal some of this. My hope is that this leads to alleviated and more manageable experiences of stress. It may also shift how you approach and make sense of your daily life.
In working with you around stress, I'll want to understand your unique experiences—including what helps or doesn't help. We all register and respond to stress differently. You may feel panicked, anxious, overwhelmed, shut down, numb, or burnt out. Stress might be impacting your sleep or making you physically ill. You might seem to thrive on stress—it spurs you into productivity!—but feel it takes a toll or keeps you from experiencing life more fully. As someone who works relationally, I'll be especially attuned to how stress comes up in your relationships, including your relationship with yourself.
