Arab and Middle Eastern Therapists in Vancouver, BC
Sometimes insight alone is not enough to create change. Many of the patterns that keep us stuck live in the brain’s emotional learning systems, which is why therapy that works with both mind and nervous system can be so powerful. I integrate CBT, Internal Family Systems, bilateral stimulation, and neuroscience-informed hypnotherapy to help gently update these patterns. In a calm, focused state, new perspectives and responses can emerge naturally. My goal is to help you reconnect with clarity, resilience, and a stronger sense of direction.

The fear of making a mistake may be keeping you up at night. Is trying to be perfect causing you to freeze? You look around, and it seems so easy for everyone else that it leaves you feeling there must be something wrong with you. Feeling anxious in new situations or when trying to do our best makes sense, but you have learned to hide these feelings and to show you are confident when, inside, you feel like an imposter. You have worked so hard to get where you are and tried to control and disconnect from this anxiety and self-criticism, but now you know something needs to change. This cycle may be escalating, and I am here to help.

You may feel overwhelmed by anxiety, trauma, relationship pain, or the weight of trying to hold everything together on your own. Perhaps you’ve spent years people-pleasing, overthinking, surviving difficult relationships, or disconnecting from yourself just to get through the day. Many of the clients I work with feel exhausted, emotionally stuck, uncertain of who they are beneath life’s pressures, or trapped in painful patterns they can’t seem to break. Whether you’re struggling with depression, perfectionism, addiction, narcissistic abuse, PTSD, dissociation, grief, or childhood trauma, you don’t have to navigate it alone.

You may be looking for therapy because something has become difficult to manage. It may be anxiety, depression, loneliness, relationship conflict, pressure at work, grief, immigration-related stress, or feeling not quite yourself. Sometimes the problem is clear; sometimes it is harder to put into words. I focus on understanding what brings you here and what kind of help you need. My postdoctoral research at the University of Calgary on romantic relationships and conflict also informs my attention to close relationships and romantic bonds.

You're somewhere between 25 and 65+, and you're bone-tired, not lazy-tired. The kind that comes from years on edge, bracing for the next hard thing, or going through the motions while feeling numb inside.
Maybe you grew up in one world and are building your life in another. Maybe something happened that your body never fully recovered from.
You haven't stopped functioning. But you know this isn't really living.
I work with adults navigating trauma, PTSD, anxiety, panic, hypervigilance, shame, and relationship strain, including immigrants and cross-cultural clients.
You deserve a space where you don't have to translate yourself.

You may feel overwhelmed. You overthink, doubt yourself, struggle with mood shifts, or feel easily triggered with your partner or child. You react in ways you later regret and wonder, “Why do I keep doing this?” These patterns often begin early in life, as our nervous system learns to stay on guard. Deep down, you want to feel calm instead of reactive, confident rather than self-critical, and connected without losing yourself. As a parent, you may long to be more patient, steady, and present. You want to feel connected, valued, safe, and secure; not just with others, but within yourself.

In our sessions, we explore how emotions may be connected to the difficulties you are experiencing. My ideal clients are adults who feel overwhelmed by anxiety, depression, or emotional stress, often related to relationships, family, or major life changes such as immigration. Many come feeling stuck, emotionally confused, or caught in patterns they can’t change on their own.
Often, people are not fully aware of their emotions or tend to avoid them. Over time, this can increase anxiety and show up as negative thinking, sadness, relationship difficulties, indecision, parenting stress, or challenges with life transitions.

Your mind understands your story, but your body hasn't found peace yet. For women and mothers navigating the silent weight of daily life, it can feel like a series of plateaus. You are doing everything right, yet you remain stuck in survival mode. This exhaustion often ripples through the family. I see it in children and youth carrying hurdles they do not yet have the words to describe. When a person feels depleted or a child struggles, these plateaus can make meaningful change feel impossible. I provide a space where you are truly understood, allowing the heavy layers to finally lift.
