What’s one thing you wish more people knew about therapy or mental performance coaching?
You don’t need to be “in crisis” to benefit from therapy. High-functioning people often assume they should just push through—but ignoring emotions and stress doesn’t make them disappear, it just drives them underground. Therapy can be one of the most strategic investments you make in your performance, relationships, and long-term fulfillment. It’s not only about coping—it’s about evolving, building resilience, and aligning with what matters most.
Who are you and what led you to this work?
I became a therapist because I’ve always been deeply curious about what drives people, especially those who carry invisible burdens while performing at extraordinary levels. Having worked in high-pressure environments myself, I understand how success can sometimes mask exhaustion, self-doubt, or unresolved pain. I believe that unlocking potential requires reconnecting with our inner world and working through those inner conflicts.
What is your approach to therapy or mental performance coaching?
My approach is collaborative and insight-oriented. Together, we uncover unconscious patterns and internal narratives that may be shaping how you show up in relationships or at work. I work in a way that’s warm, respectful, and focused on helping you understand yourself more deeply. Often, this involves exploring the roots of struggles in earlier experiences and reframing patterns that no longer serve you. At the same time, I incorporate practical tools and coping strategies to help you move forward. Each session is tailored to your needs—sometimes it’s about diving deep, other times it’s about building actionable skills.
What areas do you focus on?
• Anxiety and depression
• PTSD, trauma, intergenerational trauma, workplace trauma and stress
• Addiction and recovery
• Self-esteem and confidence building
• Relationship and intimacy issues
• Boundaries and attachment challenges
• Stress and burnout
• Eating disorders and body image
• Grief and loss
• Performance anxiety
• Leadership development
• Immigration challenges
• Life transitions and resilience
• Self-exploration and personal growth
What types of clients do you typically work with?
I work with adults in both individual and couples therapy. Many of my clients are executives, professionals, and high performers—people who look composed on the outside but often feel drained, stuck, or weighed down by self-doubt on the inside. I also bring a culturally sensitive, trauma-informed approach to clients navigating the complexities of immigration, LGBTQ+ identity, and high-performance expectations. These overlapping pressures can create a unique kind of burden, and I provide a supportive space to unpack and manage them.
How do you help clients overcome mental roadblocks and perform at their best?
I help clients understand what’s getting in the way—whether it’s perfectionism, unresolved trauma, or patterns that reappear under stress. We work together to unpack the origins of these patterns and to build tools for responding differently. This process fosters emotional intelligence, resilience, and clarity, which not only supports healing but also strengthens leadership, decision-making, and adaptability in high-stakes environments.
What evidence-based methods or strategies do you use?
I integrate a range of approaches, including:
• Psychodynamic Therapy
• Attachment-Based Approaches
• EMDR Therapy
• Insight-Oriented and Humanistic Therapy
• Internal Family Systems (IFS)
• Family Systems Therapy
• Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT)
This flexible toolkit allows me to tailor the process to your needs, whether you are healing from past experiences, building resilience, or refining performance under pressure.
What can a client expect in their first session with you?
In our first session, we’ll focus on what brings you in—your goals, challenges, and what you’d like to shift. You can expect a respectful, non-judgmental, and emotionally attuned conversation. My aim is not to “fix” you but to get curious about what’s happening beneath the surface, while beginning to identify patterns or parts of your story that need attention. From there, we start creating a roadmap for change.
What makes your work at The Mental Game unique?
What makes my work at The Mental Game unique is the way I combine deep emotional insight with practical, results-oriented strategies. I don’t believe in surface-level fixes. Instead, I help clients understand the deeper drivers behind stress, burnout, or performance blocks so they can create meaningful, lasting change. This allows me to support clients in achieving their goals while also feeling more grounded, whole, and aligned as they pursue success in life and business.
