You've built a life that looks great on paper. The house in Glen Abbey. The career. Maybe the kids are in good schools. But inside, your brain never stops. Every decision feels loaded. Every quiet moment gets filled with worry about what's next, what could go wrong, what you might be missing.
If any of that sounds familiar, you don't have to keep pushing through it alone. Let's talk.

No months-long waitlist. Most clients start within days.
Session from home in Bronte, Glen Abbey, or downtown.
After work and after the commute. When life actually allows.
Provided for all Ontario insurance plans and benefits.
You've got the life everyone thinks they want. The nice place, the stable career, maybe the family. But you feel like you're just managing it all, not enjoying it. The QEW commute, the packed schedule, the constant sense that you're one bad week away from everything falling apart. You look calm on the outside, but inside there's this constant hum of anxiety you can't seem to shake.
The pressure to maintain appearances is exhausting. In Oakville, everyone seems to have it together. Great jobs, great families, nice cars. And you're playing that game too, but privately you're wondering when someone's going to notice you're barely keeping it together. The comparisons are constant, even when you know they're not helpful.
Your brain never actually stops. Even when you're walking the trail at Bronte or sitting at the harbour, your mind is somewhere else. Replaying conversations. Anticipating problems. Running through scenarios that might never happen. It's like your brain is always working, and you've forgotten how to just be present.
Work has become all-consuming. Whether you're at Ford, one of the head offices along the QEW corridor, or running your own thing, the expectations never let up. You're good at what you do. That's not the question. The question is whether you can keep doing it at this pace without burning out or losing yourself in the process.
If any of this lands, you're not broken. You're just dealing with a lot. And you might benefit from having someone to work through it with.
Anxiety isn't a personal failing—it's one of the most common mental health challenges Canadians face.

The good news? Anxiety is highly treatable. And you don't need to wait months to start.
Therapy isn't about fixing you. You're not broken. It's about understanding what's driving the anxiety and developing a different relationship with it.
Here's what I've seen in my work with clients from Oakville and across the GTA: the anxiety usually makes sense. There are real pressures. Real responsibilities. Real stakes. The problem isn't that you worry. The problem is that the worry has taken over, and you've lost the ability to step back from it.
I use Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), which is an evidence-based approach. But that's just the framework. What actually matters is whether we connect, whether you feel understood, and whether our conversations help you see things differently.
This is about having real conversations about what's actually going on in your life and what you want it to look like instead. Practical, personalized, focused on what works for you.
The goal isn't to eliminate anxiety. That's not realistic. The goal is to stop letting it run your life.
I offer virtual therapy exclusively. For Oakville residents, this means you're not adding another trip to an already packed schedule. No fighting traffic on Trafalgar or trying to squeeze in an appointment between meetings.
Sessions happen wherever you're comfortable. Your home office. A quiet room after the kids are in bed. Wherever you can actually focus and be yourself.
I've been doing virtual therapy for years. It works. For some people, it works better than in-person because you're in your own space, more comfortable, more yourself.
Serving Oakville and all areas including Downtown, Bronte, Glen Abbey, Joshua Creek, Kerr Village, West Oak Trails, and Old Oakville. But honestly, location doesn't matter. If you're anywhere in Ontario, we can work together.
15 minutes to see if we're a good fit. No commitment. Just a conversation.
We'll talk about what brought you here. No pressure to have it all figured out.
We meet regularly and work together at whatever pace makes sense for you.
Most people feel nervous before their first session. That's normal. You don't need to know what to say. That's my job to help guide.
Session rates are $175. I provide insurance receipts for all major Ontario insurance providers. Many Oakville residents have coverage through executive benefit packages from employers like Ford, hospital benefits, or private plans that cover psychotherapy.
I offer virtual therapy exclusively, which works well for Oakville residents whether you're at home in Glen Abbey, Bronte, or downtown. You connect from wherever you're comfortable, without adding another trip to your schedule.
Most clients get their first session within the same week of reaching out. I keep my schedule flexible because I know that when you finally decide to reach out, you shouldn't have to wait months.
I use Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and person-centred approaches. It's not about fighting your anxiety or pretending it doesn't exist. It's about changing your relationship with it so it stops running your life.
Absolutely. Many of my clients deal with the specific pressures that come with senior roles. The expectations, the constant performance, the feeling that you can't show any cracks. We work on that.
Most people I work with haven't. The first session is really just about getting to know each other. You don't need to have anything figured out or know what to say. That's my job to help guide.
If anything on this page resonated, the next step is a free 15-minute consultation. No pressure, no commitment. Just a conversation to see if working together makes sense.
