Relationship Issues Therapists in Waterdown, ON
I understand that beginning any new relationship, including one with a therapist, can feel scary! The best predictor of success in psychotherapy is the quality of the relationship between the therapist and client, which is why I offer a free 20-minute phone consultation to new clients.
I believe that we're at our strongest when we have meaningful, supportive connections in our lives. My focus is on developing these types of connections with my clients - ones where they feel genuinely cared for, safe, and supported in their journey towards feeling more fulfilled in their lives. My aim is always to help my clients feel heard, empowered, and more confident in their ability to navigate struggles. I'm always in their corner, and it's important to me that they feel this way. At the end of the day, providing someone with meaningful support is why I love this work.

Perhaps the closest relationships around you feel tense, and you need your own space to work through feelings of pain, hurt, and overwhelm. Maybe you feel less motivated to do the things you used to enjoy, and getting through the day feels draining. With all of this, you’d just like to understand your emotions and thoughts a little more. I specialize in supporting teens and adults who are experiencing low mood, difficult family dynamics, and relationship issues. We can take the time to gently sort through your experiences while finding practical strategies that allow you to feel empowered to get back to what feels like you.

I work with individuals experiencing low self-esteem, anxiety, relationship issues and major life changes.
Feeling stuck, overwhelmed and exhausted from trying to have it all figured out? You find yourself stuck over-comparing, over-thinking and over-doing. People-pleasing feels like second nature. Imposter syndrome is plaguing your system and you find yourself riddled with self-doubt. “Am I doing enough?” “Will I ever succeed?” “I feel like a fraud!” The next step always feels daunting because your mind is on overdrive with to-do lists and self-limiting beliefs. Maybe you find yourself over-analyzing situations, outcomes, or things that haven’t even happened. It’s difficult to set boundaries, and you are feeling disconnected.

Relationship Issues Counsellors
While need for human connection appears to be innate, the ability to form healthy, loving relationships is learned. Some evidence suggests that the ability to form a stable relationship starts to form in infancy, in a child's earliest experiences with a caregiver who reliably meets the infant's needs for food, care, warmth, protection, stimulation, and social contact. Such relationships are not destiny, but they are theorized to establish deeply ingrained patterns of relating to others. The end of a relationship, however, is often a source of great psychological anguish.
