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 across high-pressure environments myself, I understand how success can sometimes mask exhaustion, self-doubt, or unresolved emotional pain. I deeply believe that to unlock our potential, it is important to reconnect with our inner world and work through these inner conflicts. 

My approach is collaborative and insight-oriented. Together, we explore unrealized, 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 better. I believe that the things we struggle with often have roots in earlier experiences, and by exploring those, we can start to change the patterns that hold us back. At the same time, I use practical tools to help you move forward. Every session is shaped by what you need—sometimes that means diving deep, and other times it means building skills and coping strategies.

My areas of expertise include: 

• Anxiety 

• Depression

• PTSD/trauma/intergenerational trauma/workplace trauma and stress 

• Addiction

• Self-esteem and confidence building 

• Relationship issues 

• Difficulty with boundaries 

• Intimacy and attachment issues

• Stress and burnout 

• Self-exploration and development 

• Eating disorders

• Grief and loss

• Performance anxiety 

• Leadership development 

• Immigration challenges 

• Life transitions 

I work with adults in individual therapy as well as in couples therapy. I typically work with executives, professionals and high performers - people who are used to keeping it together but often don’t have a space to talk about what’s hard. You might feel like everything looks fine from the outside, but inside, you’re running on empty or second-guessing yourself. In our work together, we’ll take the time to explore your story, your values, and the challenges you’ve faced—creating a space where you feel seen, supported, and safe to heal. 

Other than this, I also bring a culturally sensitive, trauma-informed approach to my work, especially with individuals navigating the complexities of immigration, LGBTQ+ identity, and high-performance expectations. Each of these experiences on their own can be demanding, but when they overlap, they can create a unique kind of pressure: the need to succeed while carrying invisible burdens. 

I help clients understand what’s getting in the way—whether it’s anxiety, self-doubt, perfectionism, or old patterns that keep showing up, especially under pressure. We work together to unpack where those patterns come from and build tools to respond to stress and challenges in new, healthier ways. 

Evidence-based methods or strategies I use

• Psychodynamic Therapy

• Attachment-Based Approach

• EMDR therapy

• Insight-Oriented Therapy/Humanistic

• Internal Family Systems (IFS)

• Family Systems

• Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT)

Here’s what a client can expect in their first session with me:

In our first session, we’ll talk about what brings you in—your goals, challenges, and what you’re hoping to shift. It’s not about “fixing” you, but rather getting curious about what’s going on beneath the surface. You can expect a conversation that is respectful, non-judgmental, and emotionally attuned. My priority is to make space for your story and start identifying the patterns or parts that deserve attention.

One thing I 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 it disappear, it just moves underground. Therapy can be the most strategic investment in your performance, relationships, and long-term fulfillment. Therapy is not just about coping—it’s also about evolving.

What makes my work at The Mental Game unique?

What makes my work at The Mental Game unique is how I bring together deep emotional insight with practical 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 make lasting, meaningful change. My approach allows me to support clients in not just achieving goals, but in feeling more grounded, whole, and aligned as they achieve their goals.
