Therapists in Waterloo, ON

Are you struggling with your mental health? I am here to lift that cloud of struggles, shine a light through and help you find the brighter side. I specialize in symptoms of anxiety, depression, OCD, eating disorders, traumatic experiences, abuse and life stressors. I also work with couples of any orientation, helping them to find the solutions that will enhance their relationship.

Are you in need of more insight into your personal or relational struggles? Maybe you feel like you're stuck in a loop of destructive behaviors, and don't know how to get out. Maybe you notice distance or tension in your relationship, and need to make sense of it all, and become connected again. Maybe you are ready to unpack and process unresolved trauma, and need the support of a professional in a safe and trusting environment.

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.

Life can be overwhelming at times and it often takes courage and bravery to open the door to something new and to something different. Perhaps you are feeling overwhelmed or disconnected or maybe you need to better understand and work through what is happening in your life right now. I specialize in supporting individuals with eating disorders, body image issues, anxiety and self-esteem, addictions, relationship issues, and trauma. Together we will explore what is happening for you interpersonally and relationally, while making sense of the feelings, thoughts, and behaviours that are holding you back or causing you emotional pain.

Perhaps you're down or anxious, feeling trapped or distressed? Maybe you're unsure about the future of a relationship, or just feel that you aren't living the life you want to lead? Whatever your needs may be, I am here to offer support and guidance. Therapy is a process of insight building, growth, and self-discovery. In my sessions I promote emotional intelligence, deeper emotional connection with others, and helping you broaden your understanding of your behaviours, feelings, or reactions (yes, we don't always know why we do some things we do). I can help you cope better and understand yourself and your situation more deeply. ​

Taking the first step towards self-awareness and healing can feel challenging. I am here to offer a safe, unbiased space to unpack emotions, experiences, and thoughts. Recognizing our internal dualities and reconnecting with our inner child, a wounded part of ourselves, can be transformative and healing. As your therapist, I am committed to supporting you by fostering self-awareness and challenging harmful patterns.

Do you suffer from anxiety? Are you having daily thoughts of worry, feelings of depression and doom? Have you experienced negative intrusive or obsessive thoughts, lost your motivation, trouble sleeping, feeling fatigued, have lost your motivation, muscle tension, difficulty focusing, or feeling isolated? Is your life full of stress?

Do you want to develop strategies to better manage the thoughts, feelings and relationships that are holding you back from a healthy and productive life? Are you struggling to find enjoyment in life, experiencing mental or physical illness, grief, and loss, stress in your job, relationships or as a caregiver or parent? There are steps you can take to improve your psychological well-being, strengthen your relationships and attachments and move towards personal healing and growth. I am here to help you break the cycle or negative thoughts, emotions and relationships and take steps to experience a more positive and fulfilling life.
