Executive therapy and coaching for leaders, founders, and professionals: high performance without compromising well-being.
Many of the people I work with are doing well by any outside measure. What brings them in is usually less visible: a mind that won’t stop rehearsing, unreliable sleep, constant background tension, or a sense that the way they’ve been getting results isn’t sustainable. Usually this isn’t a flaw. It’s the cost of a strategy that worked, one that keeps the nervous system braced long after it needs to be.
The approach
Embodied inquiry means bringing curious, direct attention to what’s happening in the body as much as the mind, and working from there. Most high performers already understand their patterns. Understanding rarely changes them, because those patterns run on emotional learning that operates faster than thought. Felt experience is what updates that learning, which is why the change tends to last. I draw on Internal Family Systems, somatic work, mindfulness, and ACT, applied to the real demands of your working life.
Who it’s for
This work suits people who want to keep performing at a high level, but not at any cost. They might be dealing with performance anxiety, decision fatigue, or trouble switching off. Some feel effective at work and absent everywhere else. Others have bigger questions about leadership, creativity, or what comes next.
Background
I’m a licensed psychologist (OPQ) and Assistant Professor (Professional) at McGill. I’ve also founded four companies, including Mindspace, which was acquired by Numinus, where I served as an executive. I know this terrain from both sides.
Getting started
We start with a brief consultation to see whether it’s a good fit.
When you’re operating at a high level, stress, rumination, and worry can become the tax on your success—metabolically costly, draining your energy, and distracting you from the present moment. It’s easy to lose the signal in the noise and drift from your north star.
I help high-performing professionals feel fully integrated, focused, and resourced—even in high-intensity environments—so they can do their best work without sacrificing their health, relationships, or core values.
If this sounds familiar, we can create the conditions for durable, values-aligned performance.

Is this therapy or coaching?
Both modalities inform my approach. We’ll choose the frame that best fits your goals, context, and regulatory requirements. Many clients appreciate the clarity of a coaching arc with the depth and care of therapy.

Yes—sessions are designed to lower your total cognitive and physiological load. Most clients report feeling calmer and clearer after the first session, with compounding gains over 4–8 weeks.

Great time to start. We’ll build a sustainable foundation—sleep, recovery, cognitive hygiene, and values-aligned habits—so you can grow quickly without burning out.
