Female Therapists in Kitchener, ON

You're a millennial woman who’s feeling under-confident and overwhelmed in life. You’re feeling unworthy and a constant voice in your head keeps repeating “you’re not good enough”. You’re stuck in a loop of doubt and anxiety that’s sucking the joy out of your life. You want to get it together but don’t know where to start. If this sounds like you, I want to reassure you that you’ve come to the right place.

The clients I serve in my practice are women , people of colour, indigenous communities and lgbt2sq identified people. You’ve been in therapy before and although you’ve seen results you aren’t yet at the place you want to be. Feelings of stress, anxiety, stuckness and depression are familiar to you. You’ve been going in circles in your relationships and your career and now you’re ready to dig deeper. Your core beliefs keep pulling you back into old patterns like people pleasing, controlling behaviours, co-dependency, and difficulty prioritizing yourself and identifying your needs.

Are you a professional, always feeling the pressure to have to be at the top of your game? Do you work in a high stress environment where you are the one required to express confidence and remain calm at all times? Does your career involve engaging with people during some of their most challenging times? Are you searching for a safe place to get the support that you need? As a Registered Psychotherapist and a Canadian Certified Counsellor, with experience in a variety of organizations, I can offer you professional and confidential counselling support.

NO Waitlist! Imagine more peace and joy in your life; returning to the vibrant, energized and excited YOU that you used to be before life started to feel hard. My clients are brave, brilliant women with beautiful hearts. Our sessions are a time for you to feel deeply cared for and learn how to give yourself the love and kindness you so generously give to others. You are magnificent and you deserve it all - to be unconditionally loved and accepted, to feel supported, desired and in your full power. We can meet virtually in the comfort of your own home or on a beautiful trail along the Grand River. Tears and laughter are welcome.

Something is off. You're not enjoying things like you used to. You don't have the confidence you once had. Simple things like going for a walk or having dinner with a friend seem so difficult. Whether these issues have crept up on you during the pandemic or they have always been present, you are realizing that you would like to do something about it. You don't want to feel down or anxious anymore.

I am committed to creating safe spaces for clients where they can gain self-awareness, confidence, and compassion for themselves. Walking into a session with me you can expect a judgement-free zone where there are no wrong questions, reactions, or emotions. I am able to meet clients where they are at, so for me, an ideal client is anyone who is curious about themselves and the challenges they may be having, and who is open to meaningful conversation around these pieces. My passion lies in walking alongside others as they share their stories, gain perspective, and reclaim parts of their narrative that no longer serve them.

My passion is empowering people with the knowledge, skills and confidence they need to break free from where they might feel "stuck" and reclaim their personal power so that they can live the life they were always meant to. I specialize in working with women and most often work with those who struggle with low self-confidence; have difficultly finding their voice; in a transition or crossroad in their life; struggling with or rebuilding after a relationship(s); need help setting healthy boundaries; have had difficult childhood experiences, and those who have experienced trauma.

I believe affirming mental health and wellness for women who identify as Black, Indigenous, and/or women of colour can be achieved. There are times, even the strongest person needs support to manage life's more challenging events. You are not alone in your hurdles. If you are struggling with trauma, stress-related disorders, anxiety, depression, self-identity, self-worth, or any other issue, I kindly welcome you.

Do you know what self-compassion is? Spoiler alert, you need it, and I can support you to practice it. With that as your foundation, we can work on strategies to help you manage whatever you have going on. I’m an honest, straight forward, compassionate counsellor and coach. I am here to support young people, women and helping professionals to unleash their full potential. If your issues are related to relationships, boundaries, self-confidence, career or graduation transitions, burn out or general existential malaise, let’s work it out together. I will challenge you to listen to your gut and feel your feelings.

Are you a teen constantly butting heads with your parents in your search for identity, happiness, and atonomy? Are your parents struggling to learn ways to support you and be positive during this truly challenging time in everyone's life? Parent/ Teen conflict is a challenging time for everyone, and can cause breakdown in the best of us! It can lead to power struggles, thrill seeking behaviours, and at worse conflicts with the justice or social services system. Parents and teens are constantly trying to balance family life and healthy lifestyle choices with societal rules and boundaries. Expectations are everywhere, eh?

Are you feeling stuck in an older version of yourself that you know is ready to change? Do you live with the feeling that there's a truer version of "you" that's dying to come out? Are you held back by complicated relationships from your past, that seem to keep you in a holding pattern? Are you a couple stuck in a pattern that keeps you apart? Often we hit a place where we know we are ready for a transition, but we're just not sure what to do next. That's when therapy can be the most powerful. It's my greatest privilege to walk alongside folks just like you who are journeying towards a more meaningful, fulfilled, authentic life.

Life can be difficult when you feel on your own. Insecurities, fears, and worries can cycle through your mind without question or challenge. I believe that the process of saying your story out loud shifts your understanding of what happened.

Are you feeling overwhelmed? Do your thoughts keep racing from one thing to another? Do you find you are excellent at taking care of everyone else but keep neglecting yourself? I would like to help. I am passionate about helping people to move past the "shoulds" and move towards creating the kind of life they want to live. Most of the time when we are distressed we are worrying either too much about the past or the future, or are overly preoccupied by what we imagine other people are thinking about us.

When you find yourself struggling, its good to have a confidential space to explore your complex feelings and experiences. Often, anxiety, depression and addiction are symptoms of deeper unresolved issues. Together, we explore the landscape that has hindered your sense of well being. With the clarity of insight, depth techniques and tailored action steps, you can move in a direction of clarity and profound healing. Whether you are struggling with loss, change, discontent or emotional struggles, growth and well being are within reach.

You are a devoted parent who longs to feel close to your child but the teenage years are giving you a run for your money. You’re tired of walking on eggshells, tired of the fights and the silences and too tired to take care of yourself. You need someone to listen and help you to understand your teen’s behaviour. You want to connect with your child and feel more confident as a parent so you can enjoy one another again and support them on their journey to adulthood.

Now accepting new clients! Have you been struggling with stress, anxiety, depression, or self-esteem? Have you been feeling tired, overwhelmed, or stuck? You are not alone. I offer a safe, supportive, and non-judgemental space for you to show up as your authentic self and feel heard and understood. Working from a client-centred and collaborative approach, I strive to meet you where you are and support you in navigating the challenges that you are facing. I recognize that therapy is not one size fits all and will honour your unique needs, values, and strengths.

Being anxious, sad, overwhelmed or having no hope can have a negative impact on your physical and mental health. Seeking help might not be easy; and opening up and revealing yourself in therapy can be intimidating. This is why most people who suffer mentally and emotionally, do not seek help, often being forced to cope in unhealthy ways to seek temporary relief. But you are here because you are seeking help, congratulations for taking your first step towards healing!
