Stress, Burnout, and Anxiety

Anxiety, Burnout, Stress, and Overwhelm Are Telling You Something
Does it feel like your mind is always racing?
Maybe you wake up already exhausted. You overthink everything. You’ve tried powering through, making lists, meditating, maybe even therapy before — but the stress never seems to let up. You're juggling a million things but can’t remember the last time you truly felt calm, grounded, or like yourself.
If this sounds familiar, you’re not alone. And more importantly: it doesn’t have to stay this way.
Anxiety and Burnout Are Not Personal Failures
They’re Signals That Something Needs to Change
At Maple Grove Counselling, I specialize in working with adults who feel like they’ve hit a wall — emotionally, mentally, physically. Whether you’re overwhelmed by anxiety, burned out from responsibilities, or just feel like you’re running on empty, I am here to help you slow down, reconnect, and heal.
Anxiety can feel like a constant hum of unease in the background of everything you do.
Stress can sneak in as perfectionism, people-pleasing, or always saying yes.
Burnout can look like numbness, cynicism, or wanting to disappear for a while.
Overwhelm can make even small decisions feel like climbing a mountain.
These experiences aren’t just emotional. They’re real, and they affect your body, your relationships, your energy, and your sense of self.
What If Therapy Didn’t Just Help You Cope — But Actually Helped You Feel Like Yourself Again?
Most people come to us thinking they just need to “manage stress better.” But often, the real work — and the real relief — comes from understanding why the anxiety, burnout, or overwhelm started in the first place.
Maybe you’ve been stuck in survival mode for years. Maybe no one ever taught you how to have boundaries, how to rest without guilt, or how to listen to what your body is trying to say.
Therapy can be the place where all of that changes.
Evidence-Based Therapy for Anxiety, Stress & Burnout
I use tools backed by neuroscience and compassion.
At Maple Grove Counselling, I integrate modalities like:
EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing): Especially powerful for anxiety rooted in past experiences or chronic stress.
Mindfulness and Somatic Therapy: To help you reconnect with your body and break free from overthinking.
Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT): To shift unhelpful thinking patterns and reduce anxious spirals.
Parts Work and Attachment-Focused Therapy: To explore the deeper layers of why you feel stuck and how to find safety again.
You don’t need to know what you need yet. That’s our job. We’ll work together to find what actually helps you.
Signs You Might Be Struggling With Anxiety, Stress, or Burnout
You don’t need a diagnosis to seek support. If you recognize yourself in the list below, therapy might help:
Constant overthinking or worrying about the worst-case scenario
Difficulty relaxing, even when nothing’s “wrong”
Feeling numb, irritable, or emotionally drained
Trouble sleeping or waking up anxious
A harsh inner critic or fear of letting others down
Panic attacks or a sense of dread that hits out of nowhere
Losing interest in things you used to enjoy
Feeling disconnected from others — or from yourself
If any of this resonates: you’re not broken. You’re responding to a life that’s been too much for too long. Let’s make space for something different.
