I work with athletes, first responders, and high-performing professionals — plus driven teens (13-18) through our Future Ready Program — who look fine on the outside but are running on empty. I'm a Registered Psychotherapist and owner of KORR Performance & Psychotherapy, and I also support anyone navigating anxiety, depression, PTSD, burnout, or relationship challenges who's ready to understand what's missing and move toward their full potential.

Are you feeling overwhelmed, stuck in patterns you can’t seem to break, or like you’re carrying the weight of the world?
Many of my clients come to me feeling anxious, emotionally drained, or unsure of who they are anymore. You might be struggling to feel good enough, constantly overthinking, or noticing that your nervous system is in overdrive—even when nothing “bad” is happening.
What My Clients Struggle With:
Anxiety and overthinking that keeps them up at night, trauma responses such as shutdown or people-pleasing, repeating patterns like attracting the same type of partner over and over again, and lack of boundaries.

You may feel stuck in patterns in relationships and within yourself that you cannot seem to shift, no matter how much insight you have. You might find yourself overthinking, feeling anxious in relationships, or questioning your needs, reactions, or decisions. This can show up in dating, getting attached quickly, feeling unsure or insecure, or repeating dynamics that leave you feeling unsettled or not fully met. Even when you understand where it comes from, it can still feel difficult to respond differently in the moment or trust yourself.

Life is full of challenges that do not have to be navigated alone and I would be honoured to be a part of your journey towards growth, healing, and self-discovery. I’d like to thank you for your vulnerability and willingness to show up for yourself and ask for help - as I recognize it isn’t easy. Therapy is a powerful tool that can help heal old wounds, improve personal well-being, & create meaningful change in our lives.

My approach is warm and collaborative, drawing on ACT, CBT, DBT, and coaching, so we can build meaningful goals and improve your emotional well-being.
Stronger Than Imagined. Life brings change, some harder than others, and you don't have to face it alone. Many of my clients are older adults and caregivers navigating depression, anxiety, grief, loneliness, or burnout, often while adjusting to retirement, health changes, or care. They're managing role changes, identity loss, strained relationships, or a reduced sense of purpose, and tell me, "I don't know who I am anymore," or "everything feels heavy." Together, in a warm, judgment-free space, we understand your concerns, build on your strengths, and find practical ways to make daily life feel more manageable, in English or Farsi.
