You're Handling Everything on the Outside. But Something Feels Off.

Maybe it's the Sunday anxiety that starts on Friday. The way your chest tightens before meetings. Lying awake replaying conversations. If you're an Ontario professional who looks successful on paper but feels like you're barely keeping it together, you're not alone.

Virtual psychotherapy for anxiety, burnout & depression across Ontario.

Question 1 of 15
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're not broken. You've just been carrying a lot. Therapy helps you develop skills to manage these patterns.

Practical techniques you can use in 60 seconds when panic or overwhelm hits

PHILOSOPHY

Why This Approach Works

Real conversations about what's going on. I use approaches that research supports. But what matters more is whether we actually connect.

The Should vs. Want

There's this tension between who you think you should be and who you actually want to be. That's often where the pain lives. We explore that together. Figuring out what's actually yours and what you've been carrying for everyone else.

Here's What I've Seen

Some people start feeling different within a few weeks. Others need more time. The timeline matters less than whether we're actually connecting. That's where change starts.

I'm With You

We Figure It Out Together

I'm not going to tell you what to do. I'm going to help you figure out what you want. You're the expert on your life. I'm just here with the tools and training to help you navigate it.

If any of this lands, let's talk.

The first few sessions are about making sense of your story. Not just the problem, but the patterns. We draw connections. We figure out what's in your control and what isn't.

We Explore What Works

I can't make the anxiety go away. But I can help you change your relationship with it. We build practical skills that work when you're in the middle of it, not just in theory.

COMMON QUESTIONS
