Recognition
Does This Sound Familiar?
You're not alone in what you're experiencing. Many clients describe similar patterns before starting therapy.
The Sunday Night Feeling
Your chest gets tight thinking about Monday. That sense of dread that won't go away.
The 3am Mind Race
Lying awake replaying conversations, worrying about things you can't control right now.
Nothing Feels Enjoyable
Things you used to love don't bring joy anymore. Everything feels flat or grey.
Snapping at People You Love
Small frustrations trigger big reactions. You're apologizing more than usual.
The Same Patterns Repeating
Same relationship issues with different people. Same work conflicts at every job.
Decision Paralysis
Even simple choices feel overwhelming. Analysis paralysis on basic decisions.
If 3 or more of these resonate, therapy can help you develop skills to manage these patterns.
Evidence-based techniques you can use in 60 seconds when panic or overwhelm hits
Philosophy
Why This Approach Works
I work with professionals, students, and men across Ontario using a structured approach grounded in Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT). We identify specific patterns driving your anxiety and build practical skills for managing high-stakes moments. This isn't endless processing—it's focused skill development.
Evidence-Based Methods
Using Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), we work together to develop practical coping skills. These approaches focus on building psychological flexibility and managing difficult thoughts and feelings.
Collaborative Process
Therapy is a collaborative process. We work together at a pace that feels right for you, adapting evidence-based methods to fit your life and goals.
Collaborative Approach
We're in This Together
You're the expert on your life - I'm just here with the tools and training to help you navigate it better. No judgment, no telling you what to do. Just genuine collaboration toward the changes you want to see.
