You look like you have it all together. So why does it feel like you’re falling apart?

You are smart, capable, and likely successful in your career. To the outside world, you are the person who gets things done. But internally, the loop never stops.

You’ve tried the apps. You’ve read the books. You’ve tried the apps and read the books. You’ve even tried getting reassurance from ChatGPT—but logic alone hasn't calmed your nervous system. You understand logically that you shouldn't worry, but your body didn't get the memo.

Do any of these sound familiar?

• The "Imposter" Loop: You over-prepare for every meeting and agonize over every email, convinced that one small mistake will reveal you as a fraud.

• The People-Pleasing Tax: You are the reliable one who can’t say "no." You spend your limited energy tracking everyone else's moods while yours is spiraling.

• Reassurance Seeking: You drive yourself (and your loved ones) crazy asking, "Is this okay?" or "Did I do that right?"

• The 3:00 AM Spiral: You wake up exhausted, but your brain immediately latches onto a "what-if" scenario and refuses to let go.

• Decision Paralysis: You second-guess even small choices because the fear of choosing "wrong" feels catastrophic.

Your Intelligence is Actually the Problem.

The reason you haven't 'thought' your way out of this is that your high IQ is actually fueling your anxiety. You are so good at problem-solving that your brain treats a feeling like a math equation. But you can’t solve a panic attack with logic. In our sessions, we stop trying to outsmart your nervous system and start retraining it. It’s counter-intuitive, and it’s the only thing that actually works.

I provide structured, skills-based therapy designed to rewire how you respond to fear.

🧠 Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) We move beyond "positive thinking." We identify the specific mental errors keeping you stuck and give you concrete tools to challenge them. You will learn to tolerate uncertainty and trust your own judgment again.

🔁 Exposure & Response Prevention (ERP) The Gold Standard for OCD and Avoidance. If you are stuck in rituals, checking, or avoidance, talking about it won't help. We will gently, gradually face the fears together so you can stop the rituals and reclaim your time.

🧘 Nervous System Regulation Anxiety is physical. I teach you how to soothe the racing heart, the tight chest, and the "on-alert" feeling so your body can finally feel safe enough to sleep.

Clinical Expertise + Lived Experience.

Dr. Christine Korol, C.Psych.

I am a Registered Psychologist who focuses on treating anxiety, stress, and related perfectionism, people-pleasing, insomnia and OCD. But more importantly, I have OCD myself. I know the difference between 'textbook' anxiety and the visceral, heart-pounding conviction that something is terribly wrong. I don't just teach the tools; I use them.

Validation is important, but it’s rarely enough to stop a spiral. If you’re looking for more than just a place to vent, we’re going to be a great fit.

Because I live with OCD myself, I’ve learned to spot the 'smoke and mirrors' that anxiety uses to keep us trapped. I’m not here to lead you; I’m here to sit beside you as we look at those 'what-if' scenarios together.

We’ll go at your pace, but I’ll always be honest with you: those fears usually have a much smaller bite than your brain has led you to believe. My goal isn’t to push you into intense discomfort—it’s to show you that you can face more than you think, with much less distress than you ever imagined. We don't just talk about the loops; we gently, systematically dismantle them so you can get your life back.

I pivoted my practice to a fully virtual model to help clients in Toronto, Ottawa or anywhere in Ontario access specialized care without the barriers of a commute.

• As Seen On: Breakfast Television, Global National, Cross Country Checkup with Ian Hanomansing, and various media outlets as a trusted expert on anxiety and burnout.

• Licensed In: Ontario, Alberta and the Yukon. (Covered by most employee benefits plans).

1. No "Therapy Commute" Fit therapy into your workday or evening without fighting traffic or the weather. Log in from your office, your car, or your couch.

2. Privacy & Comfort For exposure therapy and anxiety work, being in your own environment is often more effective than a sterile office. We can work on triggers where they actually happen—in your real life.

3. Flexible Time Zones Premium Care That Fits Your after 5:00 PM Life. Based on the West Coast, I offer 'After-Hours' availability for Ontario professionals. Get PhD-level CBT when your workday is actually done—no need to hide your therapy appointments from your colleagues.
