Have you been feeling anxious, overwhelmed, lost, or uncertain about how to move forward or where to begin? Navigating challenges internally, within relationships, family, and friendship dynamics, anxiety, burnout, unexpected changes, and difficult life transitions can leave us feeling uncertain, overwhelmed, and often quite alone. Together, we can make sense of your thoughts and feelings, identify strengths, barriers, and a plan that reflects what's most important to you and what honours your values and goals for therapy. We all deserve to feel seen, understood, and supported as we grow—and we don't need to do it alone.

Are you someone who is trying to hold everything together while quietly falling apart inside? Maybe it's the pressure of family expectations, the weight of figuring out who you are between two cultures, or the kind of stress that doesn't have a simple name. You don't have to have it all figured out to show up here.
As a Syrian immigrant, I know what it feels like to move through the world carrying things that are hard to explain to people who haven't lived it. I work with youth, young adults, couples, and members of BIPOC and Arab communities who are navigating anxiety, identity, relationships, and life transitions.

You may be the person everyone relies on: capable, composed, and high-functioning on the outside, while privately running on fumes. Stress, trauma, ADHD, relationship strain, and burnout can quietly erode your sleep, patience, focus, confidence, and connection with the people closest to you. I work with adults and couples across Ontario who are carrying too much for too long and are ready for therapy that is practical, focused, and honest.

At the heart of my practice is a reverence for the human condition and for the ways the body holds the known, unknown, and still-emerging.

While my clients often carry complex and developmental trauma, including first responders, veterans, therapists, academics, and creatives, I welcome individuals and couples who desire to explore life with growing presence, curiosity, and awe.

Remember when you and your partner felt like best friends? Now every conversation seems to leave you feeling more disconnected. It doesn't have to stay this way. Together, you can learn to communicate in ways that help you feel close again. You’re not alone in wondering what happened to the relationship you once had. Relationships go through natural changes over time, and feeling disconnected or getting caught in a cycle of conflict doesn’t mean you've fallen out of love or you’re with the wrong person. You're just stuck in a pattern that's pushing you apart. The good news? Patterns can change, and so can your relationship!

Your mind doesn’t switch off.
You overthink decisions.
There’s constant pressure to stay sharp, perform, and keep things together.
From the outside, things look fine.
Internally, it feels tense, restless, and hard to fully relax.
Most of the men I work with are used to pushing through, but over time, that turns into anxiety, irritability, mental fatigue, and disconnection.
I help you understand what’s driving it, including how past experiences have shaped these patterns, then we work on changing how you respond so you can feel more in control and less caught in it.

My name is Robert, Psychologist at the Obsessive-Compulsive (OCD) Disorder and Anxiety Clinic of Ontario. I walk alongside individuals who struggle with anxiety and OCD as they journey through healing and recovery. I work exclusively with patients with anxiety and obsessive-compulsive (OCD) disorder and I dedicate my time away from patients to researching and studying these conditions. I work with my patients on taking that knowledge and putting it into practice by teaching them how to control their anxious or disturbing thoughts, compulsive behaviors, and unsettled mind.

Frustrated with hitting the same walls again and again? Can't find the right kind of help? Men are less likely to seek mental health support because they believe it will be ineffective, invasive or belittling. At Cogent, we provide evidence-based psychological assessment and treatment, delivered by a qualified professional in a secure format to get you back on track.

One million Canadian men suffer from major depressive disorder each year. Three of every four completed suicides in Canada are by men. The prevalence of alcohol use disorder is twice as high in men with another mental health diagnosis than in the general population. One third of Canadian men worry that talking about mental health at work could put their job at risk. Men are just as likely as women to have mental health issues yet are far less likely to utilize traditional mental health services. Men are more likely to believe that mental health services are difficult to access, ineffective and invasive. At Cogent, Ontario’s new mental health clinic focussed solely on supporting men, we’re changing that.

You’re carrying the weight of betrayal: whether you’ve been unfaithful or discovered your partner’s infidelity. The pain feels insurmountable, and moving forward seems harder than expected. If you’re grappling with physical, emotional, financial, or online infidelity, you're likely searching for clarity, healing, and a way to rebuild trust. Your goal? To restore what’s been fractured, to heal, and to decide the next steps: whether that’s together or apart.
