The Co-operators Therapists in Waterloo, ON
You are trying to build a future that keeps shifting under your feet. Will there even be jobs? Will AI make your degree pointless? Everyone online seems to have it figured out while you are still not sure what you are doing. That worry does not stay in your head. It shows up in your body: the nausea before emails, the headaches, the racing heart, the nights you cannot switch off, the way you start avoiding the things that scare you. If the future feels less exciting than it does frightening, you are not overreacting and you are not alone. For a lot of people right now, this is what anxiety looks like.

It's 3am again. You woke up two hours ago and your mind hasn't stopped - tomorrow's to-do list, the thing you said in the meeting that landed wrong, whether you remembered to RSVP for the birthday party, whether that email you sent at 8pm was too direct. Somehow you thought you'd feel "happy" and "together" by now, but instead you're filled with dread. You did everything the responsible way - the degree, the career, the calendar that runs everyone's life - and now your body keeps a schedule you didn't pick. Nothing technically "looks" broken. But is this the life you actually want? You're just running on empty and you know it

Have you reached a point in your life where you just can't seem to find that joyful spark anymore? Do you feel unmotivated and not sure what to do about it? Are you just surviving day to day - whether at school, at work, with your partner, or even parenting your children? Unfortunately this is more 'normal' than you think - you are not alone.
Maybe you lost that happy spark when you were diagnosed with a chronic medical issue because now life feels so difficult as you adjust to your new reality. I know this journey well and can walk alongside you while we explore how to manage and cope with this change.

I believe therapy should feel like a supportive, non-judgmental space where you can show up as you are. My approach is warm, collaborative, and grounded in genuine connection. I work with addiction and Borderline Personality Disorder, as well as clients navigating anxiety, stress, self-esteem challenges, relationship difficulties, and life transitions, with a particular focus on adolescents and young adults building self-understanding. I aim to help clients feel understood while building insight, emotional regulation, and healthier coping strategies, at a pace that feels right for each person.

Thank you for visiting my profile. Perhaps you are moving through a difficult season of life, carrying grief, anxiety, stress, exhaustion, or a deep sense of uncertainty. 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.

The ways we learn to cope often make perfect sense given what we have been through. Over time, those same patterns can leave us feeling stuck, disconnected, or overwhelmed. I work with individuals and couples navigating trauma, PTSD, anxiety, depression, attachment injuries, infidelity, and the lasting effects of sexual abuse and assault. If you are caught in patterns you cannot seem to shift, or carrying something that has never felt fully safe to explore, this is a space built for exactly that work.

You might be navigating anxiety, OCD, depression, or a life transition that has left you feeling stuck or unsure of yourself. I work with adolescents and adults aged 13 and up on a range of concerns including relationship difficulties, self-esteem challenges, and the kind of stress that builds quietly until it becomes hard to ignore. My clients often arrive knowing something needs to change but not quite knowing where to start. That is exactly where we begin, together, at a pace that works for you.

You know something needs to change, but you are not sure where to start. Maybe you are exhausted from the pressure of work, running on empty, or moving through a transition that has left you feeling unsteady. I work with adults navigating anxiety, burnout, stress, depression, and life transitions, including career changes, relationship shifts, and those stretching moments of uncertainty about what comes next.

Life doesn't always go according to plan, and sometimes it falls apart entirely. Using EMDR and other evidence-based approaches, I help adults find their footing through infidelity, grief, separation, and identity shifts. I work with clients managing bipolar disorder, OCD, CPTSD, PTSD, and relational issues, offering a space that meets you with honesty and zero judgment. I also provide sex therapy, exploring desire, intimacy, communication, and sexual functioning, and support couples through ENM, relational repair, and everything in between. You deserve care that sees all of you.

Healing often begins with learning to treat yourself with the same compassion you already offer everyone else. I work with adolescents and adults navigating anxiety, low self-esteem, body image concerns, perfectionism, work stress, and relationship challenges. My clients often arrive feeling disconnected from themselves, struggling to trust their own voice or feel confident in who they are. Whether you are dealing with social pressure, family dynamics, dating, or the quiet weight of self-criticism, this is a space where you can begin to reconnect with yourself.

For those navigating two worlds. Where family expectations, cultural identity, and your own needs don't always speak the same language.
I work with individuals, couples, and teens (14+) with anxiety, relationship issues, infidelity, self-esteem struggles, trauma, depression, and life transitions.
Maybe it's the same fight with your partner, showing up in a new way. Or maybe it's a feeling like rest has to be earned, or living up to expectations that were never yours.
I'm a Registered Psychotherapist with 8+ years of experience in Waterloo and Toronto. I can help you build something steadier than the patterns you're stuck in.

Does your mind seem to get stuck on the same questions over and over again? You know you checked the stove... but what if you didn't? You already reread the message five times... but what if it sounded wrong? You may re-check, replay conversations, seek reassurance, avoid certain situations, or repeat things until they feel “just right.” It might bring relief for a moment, but before long, the doubt comes back, and the cycle starts again. I work with individuals experiencing OCD symptoms, including contamination OCD, Relationship OCD (ROCD), checking, “just right” OCD, perfectionism, intrusive thoughts, and other presentations.

You might be feeling overwhelmed, anxious, or constantly “in your head,” even when things look fine on the outside. Maybe school, family expectations, or relationships feel heavy, or you notice yourself overthinking, striving for perfection, or being hard on yourself. You may feel stuck between who you are and who you think you should be, unsure how to slow down, set boundaries, or trust yourself. Deep down, you want relief, clarity, and a space where you can talk openly, feel understood, and finally exhale - without judgment or the pressure to have it all figured out.

My ideal client is someone carrying more than they show; managing trauma, anxiety, burnout, or major life transitions while longing for clarity, relief, and steadier relationships.
They want to understand their patterns, heal old wounds, set healthier boundaries, and feel grounded again. Most of all, they want a space that feels warm, honest, and a little but humorous and human, where they can explore their story without judgement and move toward a life which finally feels like their own.
