Therapy for the mind that won’t switch off.
I offer virtual therapy across Ontario for anxiety, OCD and the relentless self-pressure that often comes with being capable and conscientious. Start with the concern that fits — or explore the evidence-based approaches I draw on.
What I help with
Areas I focus on
I work with the anxiety, OCD and self-pressure that so often come with being the capable, conscientious person everyone relies on. If one of these sounds like you, each page explains what’s really going on and how therapy helps.
-
Generalized Anxiety
Constant, hard-to-control worry that jumps from one “what if” to the next and keeps your body on edge.
-
Social Anxiety
Intense fear of being judged, embarrassed, or found wanting — so you over-prepare, over-analyze, or avoid.
-
Panic Attacks
Sudden surges of intense fear with racing heart, breathlessness, or dizziness — and dread of the next one.
-
Health Anxiety
Persistent fear that you’re seriously ill, with body-checking, googling, and reassurance that never quite lasts.
-
OCD
Unwanted intrusive thoughts and the rituals or reassurance you use to neutralize them — on a loop.
-
Perfectionism
Standards no one could meet, harsh self-judgment when you fall short, and self-worth hooked to performance.
-
Shame & Self-Criticism
A relentless inner critic and a deep sense of not being good enough that fuels anxiety and low mood.
-
People-Pleasing
Saying yes when you mean no, over-functioning for others, and losing track of your own needs and limits.
How I work
Treatment Approaches
Everything I draw on sits under the third-wave Cognitive-Behavioural Therapy (CBT) umbrella, with exposure as one of the most significant interventions. I tailor the blend to you.
-
Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT)
The foundation of evidence-based talk therapy: together we spot the thoughts, feelings, and behaviours that keep you stuck and build practical skills to shift them. Structured, collaborative, and proven across anxiety and mood difficulties.
-
Acceptance & Commitment Therapy (ACT)
Learn to unhook from anxious thoughts and act on what matters to you, instead of waiting for your mind to go quiet. ACT builds psychological flexibility so anxiety no longer gets to veto your life.
-
The Unified Protocol (UP)
A transdiagnostic, science-backed approach that targets the emotional mechanisms shared across anxiety, depression and related disorders. That makes it especially effective when several conditions overlap.
-
Exposure & Response Prevention (ERP)
The gold-standard treatment for OCD: together we gradually face feared situations and drop the rituals and reassurance that keep anxiety alive. Your brain learns the danger isn’t what it seems, and the fear fades on its own.
-
Compassion-Focused Therapy (CFT)
For the relentless inner critic. You’ll learn to meet yourself with the same steadiness you’d offer someone you care about, calming the threat system that drives shame and self-attack.
-
Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT)
Practical, concrete skills for riding out intense distress without making things worse. Think grounding, distress tolerance and emotion regulation you can use in the moment.
-
Motivational Interviewing (MI)
A collaborative, pressure-free way to explore your own reasons for change. We make room for ambivalence and work through it at your pace, so motivation comes from you.
-
Prolonged Exposure for Trauma (PE)
A leading evidence-based treatment for PTSD. We gently and safely revisit trauma memories and avoided situations so they lose their charge and stop controlling your present.
