  • "In a Funk”? CBT Strategies to Improve Mood and Motivation

    Feeling Stuck or “In a Funk”? A Psychologist’s CBT-Based Approach

    Feeling “in a funk” is a common human experience. Many people describe it as a mix of low motivation, irritability, emotional flatness, or feeling mentally stuck. While it may not meet criteria for depression or anxiety, it can still significantly affect daily functioning, relationships, and overall well-being.

    As a registered clinical psychologist in Vaughan, I often help individuals understand what is contributing to these emotional dips and how to respond in ways that create meaningful change rather than staying stuck.

  • Dating Again After a Breakup or Divorce: Managing Anxiety and Self-Doubt

    Dating Again After a Breakup or Divorce: Managing Anxiety and Negative Thinking

    It is very common to feel anxious, uncertain, or self-doubting when beginning to date again after a breakup or divorce. As a registered clinical psychologist, I work with many individuals who describe feeling worried, insecure, unwanted, or fearful of being hurt again.

    In counselling, we often normalize these reactions. Feeling anxious when re-entering the dating world is not a sign that something is wrong—it is a natural response to vulnerability and past emotional experiences.
