Therapists in Waterloo, ON

Are you a queer, trans, or neurodivergent person dealing with the hurt of discrimination, rejection, or the feeling that folks around you just don’t understand? Maybe you struggle with trauma symptoms, dissociation, anxiety, depression, self-blame, or low self-worth. It can be hard to get up the courage to come to therapy only to feel like you have to explain the basics of your identity to your therapist. Worse yet, it can be scary to seek therapy when the field of psychology has historically tried to keep us from being our authentic selves.

If you are reading this, you have already taken the most challenging step on your path to healing and growth, and that’s reaching out for support. It can be incredibly overwhelming starting to focus on your mental health and wanting to make changes but not knowing where to begin, this is where I come in. My commitment is to create a safe and supportive environment for all individuals and one that emphasizes growth and development in a non-judgemental manner to help support clients’ goals and ultimately living happy and meaningful lives.

I feel so unloved, alone, not seen or even neglected by my partner/family. Do you say that? Or: Trust is broken, something feels off and I don't know how to fix it! Or: My child struggles and I don't know how to help! I specialize in couples and family counselling and offer immediate availability to help you to strengthen your relationship.

I work with families, individuals, couples, and groups to provide support for relationship turbulence, grief, anxiety/depression, and life transitions, including immigration struggles. Clients may come to therapy feeling overwhelmed by stress, sadness, anger, fear, self doubt, substance use, shame, and a diminished sense of self or worth. I help them realize that adverse situations do not define them. As we work together, they gain the skills to overcome obstacles and to build positive, reciprocal relationships of value and mutual respect.

Accepting new clients - Experience has taught me that the first step toward feeling better is simply reaching out for help.

New parenthood is such a tender time for couples. Whether you are trying to start a family, are a first time parent or a parent now managing more than one young child, you can find yourself depleted, overwhelmed, and experiencing a rollercoaster of emotions along with guilt at how that might be impacting your children. If you are managing a new baby with other young children, you may find that your older children are acting out at a time when you are sleep deprived and struggling to stay patient. Perhaps you and your partner hardly have time to connect and you feel distance or disconnected.

Stuck? Frustrated? Confused? Feeling hopeless? Or just wanting some encouragement to find an answer that feels just out of reach? Whether it is a relationship problem, a parenting challenge, a bad habit, a negative cycle, or traumatic memories that keeps defeating you, I hope to provide you with a safe place to explore the roots of what is keeping you stuck, and help you find new options and hope through changing how you relate to yourself and others. I believe that emotional freedom, trust, and true intimacy in relationships comes from having good boundaries within ourselves and with others.
