“Walking alongside you toward resilience and hope.”
Life can feel overwhelming at times. You may be struggling with anxiety, depression, past trauma, grief, or relationship challenges. Perhaps you’re feeling stuck in old patterns, weighed down by cultural expectations, or uncertain about your next steps. What you want most is a safe, understanding space where you can explore your feelings without judgment, make sense of your experiences, and begin to move forward with greater clarity and strength. You want to feel lighter, more connected, and able to live in line with what truly matters to you.
I offer a person-centred and compassionate approach, creating a safe space for you to explore your experiences. As a bilingual counsellor (English, Dari, Hazaragi) with living experience as a refugee, I bring empathy and cultural understanding. Using trauma-informed practices, I help you build resilience, find clarity, and create meaningful change.
Taking the first step toward counselling can feel daunting, but you don’t have to do this alone. I provide a warm, respectful, and collaborative space where your story is honoured and your goals are supported. If you’re ready to explore what’s possible for you, I invite you to reach out and begin your journey toward healing and growth.
