Break Free From Anxiety, Stress & Overwhelm

Discover compassionate therapy designed specifically for you. 
I utilize evidence-based methods to equip you with practical tools to manage anxiety, alleviate stress, and find your inner calm. 
 
Whether you choose to meet in person at my Waterloo-ON office or opt for the convenience of teletherapy available throughout Ontario, I am dedicated to supporting your path to a more balanced and fulfilling life.

If you’re a career-driven millennial, you might find yourself...

  • Constantly overthinking, replaying all the what-ifs & worst case scenarios. 
     

  • Mentally and physically drained at the end of the day. 
     

  • Stuck in a cycle of burnout, avoidance, perfectionism or people-pleasing. 
     

  • Going through a life change or transition and doubting yourself and choices.
     

  • Emotionally dysregulated and reactionary (eg. outbursts or irritability towards others). 
     

  • Clashing with your partner and finding it difficult to effectively express your needs and set boundaries. 
     

  • Struggling to find the balance between work, relationships, and self-care.

If any of this resonates, you’re in the right place.

Together, we’ll work through what’s holding you back, shift unhelpful thinking patterns, and equip you with practical strategies to help you move forward with confidence.
Change is possible- and I am here to support you. I offer a range of services designed to meet you where you are from individual counselling and psychotherapy services to group-based therapy and intensive group support.
