IMAGINE THE POSSIBILITY - that there is a way to think differently; to feel differently; to live differently. Within each of us, we possess the tools we need to heal & be happy. But sometimes we make unhealthy choices in order to cope with emotional &/or physical pain. Despite our best intentions we can spiral downward, negatively impacting our relationships, careers, physical health & lifestyle. I believe that with support, change can happen. I am registered with a Master of Social Work & over 30yrs of clinical experience in the areas of trauma, addictions, anxiety, depression, grief/loss, parenting, life transitions & mindfulness.

Clinical Social Work/Therapist, MSW, RSW
Waterloo, ON N2L
If you find yourself caught in recurring cycles of anxiety, depression, trauma-related difficulties, self-criticism, or relationship struggles, you may wonder why these patterns continue despite insight, effort, or previous therapy. I offer virtual and in-person psychotherapy grounded in Intensive Short-Term Dynamic Psychotherapy (ISTDP), an experiential approach that works directly with emotions, anxiety, and defensive patterns as they arise. Together, we work actively to understand and shift the underlying emotional conflicts that contribute to psychological and somatic symptoms and longstanding self-defeating patterns.

Reaching out for support can feel like a big step. You may be carrying grief, navigating a life transition, or feeling strain in your relationships or family. You might be used to holding a lot on your own and are now looking for a space where you can speak openly and feel supported. You don’t have to navigate this alone.

You may feel overwhelmed by work, parenting, relationships, or the emotional challenges of living between cultures and identities after immigration. At times, you may long to reconnect with your authentic self while feeling trapped by pressure, self-criticism, or regret.

I work with adults who look like they’re managing on the outside, but inside feel overwhelmed, scattered, stuck, or exhausted from trying to keep up. You may know what you need to do, but still avoid tasks, emails, decisions, or routines until stress takes over. Many clients come in struggling with ADHD, anxiety, procrastination, overthinking, burnout, emotional ups and downs, or the feeling they should be further ahead. At MindFlow Therapy, we slow things down, make sense of the chaos, and build practical tools that fit your brain and real life.

New parenthood is such a tender time for couples. Whether you are trying to start a family, are a first time parent or a seasoned parent - you can find yourself depleted, overwhelmed, and experiencing a rollercoaster of emotions along with guilt at how that might be impacting your children. Perhaps you and your partner hardly have time to connect and you feel distance or disconnected. Parenting as a person with ADHD or with a partner with ADHD adds additional challenges, and couples therapy, family therapy or individual therapy in this season of life often becomes a requirement to thrive as we navigate uncharted territory.

You've tried to do all the "right" things. Maybe you've read self-help books, gone to therapy, practised mindfulness, or learned coping tools. Or perhaps you've simply reached a point where you're ready for something to change. You may find yourself repeating familiar patterns, overthinking, feeling emotionally overwhelmed, struggling to fully relax, being hard on yourself, binge eating and/or purging, or noticing that past experiences still seem to affect your life.

You may look capable and dependable while feeling anxious, exhausted, resentful, or disconnected. You may be skilled at reading the room, keeping the peace, and caring for others, yet struggle to know what you need. Perhaps you overthink decisions, feel guilty setting boundaries, or feel caught between your own voice and expectations within family, culture, faith, or relationships. Couples may find that the same conflict, distance, or unspoken needs keep taking over. Together, we slow these patterns down, understand what they protect, and move toward greater clarity, connection, and self-trust.
