Somewhere between your third coffee and fifth meeting, you start to wonder if this is what “thriving” is supposed to feel like.  I know that space well. Before becoming a therapist, I spent over 15 years in the corporate world managing teams, projects, and expectations (mostly my own). From the outside, things looked solid. Inside, I felt increasingly disconnected from what actually mattered. Years of adapting across cultures, roles, and expectations taught me how to read a room, perform under pressure and keep things moving forward. Those same skills helped me succeed but they also made it easy to lose touch with myself.

Many of my clients know that same tension: accomplished but restless, capable but tired, wondering when “doing everything right” stopped feeling right. In therapy, we create space to pause, make sense of your story, and reconnect with who you are beneath the roles and routines.

My approach is collaborative, conversational, and grounded in authenticity (and yes, a bit of humour - it helps). I draw from trauma-informed, relational, and Adlerian approaches, integrating elements of Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and mindfulness. I offer virtual sessions across Ontario and in-person in Toronto on the Danforth (near Chester Station).

I work with people who appear composed on the outside but feel stretched thin inside. People who often face anxiety, burnout, relationship strain, or that quiet sense of "Is this really it?" Therapy becomes a space to step out of performance mode, make sense of what's driving the stress, and reconnect with clarity, purpose, and a more grounded way of living.

No single approach fits everyone (trust me, I checked and CBT still doesn't have a "how to human" section). I draw from Adlerian, CBT, IFS, and mindfulness based approaches work to meet you where you are, help cut through the noise, challenge perfectionism, and breathe a little easier.
