Rewrite your story.
Reconnect to what matters.

Compassionate and collaborative mental health care from Kitchener-Waterloo.
Virtual care across Ontario.

Life has a way of separating us from the things that matter most, leaving us feeling anxious, depressed, and unfulfilled.

If that sounds familiar, you’re not alone.

You may feel stuck, hopeless, and adrift, but change is possible.

Sometimes, we just need someone to hear our story and validate how we feel. Sometimes, change takes deliberate, meaningful steps forward. It can come from finding tools to cope with hard emotions – or from taking time to truly listen to the messages those emotions are telling us.

I’m a CRPO-registered psychotherapist with 13 years of experience, based in Kitchener-Waterloo and offering virtual therapy across Ontario. Over the years, I’ve worked with people from all walks of life — people who felt stuck, uncertain, or held back by anxiety, self-doubt, or painful experiences.

My approach is down-to-earth, collaborative, and rooted in genuine curiosity about your story. I believe we all have the strengths and resources we need to create change — sometimes we just need help uncovering them.

Wherever you’re at, you don’t have to face it alone. Together, we’ll make sense of what’s happening, reconnect you with what matters most, and find practical ways to move toward the life you want to live.

That’s what I’m here for - to hear your story, help you reconnect with your strengths and values, and to celebrate each and every step forward.

Free consultation call

So much of the success of therapy boils down to the fit between a client and their therapist. That’s why I offer a free, no pressure, 15 minute consult call to give us a chance to meet, discuss your hopes for therapy, and assess our “fit” prior to booking an initial session.

Here to Help

I’ve worked with thousands of adults, students, and teens navigating…

…and times when life simply feels heavier than it should. If you are struggling with any of these, I’m here to help.

You don’t need to be in crisis, and you don’t need a diagnosis. You don’t need to have the “right” kind of problem or even the perfect words for what’s going on.

If you’re feeling stuck, overwhelmed, disconnected from the person you want to be, or simply tired of carrying things on your own, give me a call.

Time and time again, psychotherapy has been proven to reduce symptoms of anxiety and depression, improve relationships, build coping skills, and strengthen overall well-being.

Our work together can help you feel better, give you relief from painful and even paralyzing emotions, and open up space for you to chart your own course towards a more authentic life.

Services

A Space to Talk, Wherever You Are

Therapy can happen in different places. I offer in-person sessions in downtown Kitchener, as well as virtual psychotherapy for people across Ontario.

If you prefer meeting face-to-face, there's a quiet, welcoming space to sit down and talk. If online therapy works better for your life, we can meet virtually from wherever you have a private space - whether it’s your couch, your kitchen, or even your car.

Either way, the focus is on understanding what's been happening, making sense of the stories that have shaped you, and finding a way forward that feels more like your own.


In-person sessions will be held at Kent Avenue Psychotherapy, located at 50 Kent Ave., Suite 207 - free parking, and easily accessible for clients from Kitchener, Waterloo, Cambridge, and Guelph, by car or the Ion.

Virtual Therapy Across Ontario

Convenient, secure, and effective, virtual therapy is available to clients across Ontario. Sessions are held via the secure Owl Practice video platform or by phone.

If you are outside of Ontario and interested in working together, feel free to get in touch. Whether I can work with you if you live in another province or territory depends on the regulations governing psychotherapy where you live.
