I have over 10 years of counselling experience specializing in children, teens, adults, and families/caregivers from diverse cultural backgrounds.
In the course of our lives, we inevitably encounter challenging periods and we do our best to navigate with the resources that we have. When the pain and distress become too difficult to cope, having a safe space and a trusted therapist to talk to can help. Allow me the privilege of relieving some of the burden, thereby fostering space necessary for personal growth and a hopeful future.

Ranging from children to teens and young adults, I work with families seeking comprehensive support for their loved ones' development journey. I'm drawn to those with diverse needs, whether it's Autism, ADHD challenges, or parents seeking guidance. My clients embrace the power of play-based learning and are open to creative, engaging approaches. They're motivated for positive change, and excited to set collaborative goals through the convenience of online sessions, driven by virtual and IRL games.

What if you could improve the quality of your life and your relationships by changing the way you think, feel and behave? I work with adults who struggle with anxiety, self esteem, stress, and anger issues, to do just that. I help individuals become aware of the thought patterns that keep them stuck and prevent them from living their life to the fullest. I show people how their thoughts, emotions and behaviours are linked and provide the necessary skills to change negative habits that have become normal over time.

I believe feelings are not meant to be supressed rather they are to be acknowledged. Embracing your courage becomes the voice that can roar or be the quiet voice of change and acceptance

Most of my clients haven't found relief. They may have been unsuccessful in previous therapy ventures like CBT. They are not interested in using medication to resolve their PTSD, Complex PTSD, anxiety, depression, stress, or self-esteem issues. They may have considered suicide or used other control behaviors to help them self-regulate their emotions. They typically have experienced childhood trauma through verbal, sexual, neglect and/or physical abuse that has invaded their adult lives. Or, they may have had entirely normal childhoods, not feeling their experience was different from others, yet still have the above side effects.

My lived experience coupled with training & education, I strive to help others feel seen, heard and empowered from the inside out, in order to build resilience during times of challenge. I work from a strong sense of compassion and commitment, by offering guidance and helping clients make informed decisions and develop healthy coping skills. I approach my work holistically, using models which highlight and encourage my client’s strengths, rather than focusing on their weakness'. My integrative approach pulls methodologies including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Trauma Informed Practice & Solution-Focused Therapy.

I have lived, studied and worked in the Arab world, South and Southeast Asia before settling in Vancouver, BC in 2011. A good friend and mentor describes me as a honey bee, a nahlah that has travelled from place to place in search of sweetness and wisdom. Urdu is my first language, and I have picked up English and some Arabic, Farsi and Hebrew along the way. I am a hanif believer who knows the divine as the light of the heavens and the earth and dares to have a critical-appreciative relationship with tradition.

Are you experiencing feelings of confusion or a sense of being stuck or lost? Do you find it difficult to connect with yourself or others in healthy ways? Perhaps you have a hard time feeling and connecting to your emotions? Being human is a challenging endeavour made more difficult by past unresolved trauma, unmet developmental needs, and a world that does not foster connection or awareness.

Are you tired of feeling invisible and powerless? Are you tired of hurting, feeling depressed, and hopeless and that you don't matter? Do you long to feel safe and connected? As a result of healing my own childhood trauma from sexual abuse, I now specialise in supporting people, in a trauma informed way, as they navigate the confusion of living with adversities, and trauma. I am passionate about guiding people to a place of living instead of merely surviving. The truth is that our adversities actually become windows to learning how to live magnificently. We are not what was done to us!

Mental health problems are fairly common among Canadians, with estimates that 20% of Canadians experience a mental health issue each year. Yet, people often suffer through these issues on their own. Just because you're going through a difficult time now doesn't mean it will always be this way. Speaking with a psychologist can help you move past these issues to get you back on track.
