Feeling stressed, angry, fearful, and/or sad is what most of us go through. This is not bad because it clarifies what you desire deep down. But if you continue to feel these emotions, they become real issues that make you feel defeated, beat up, and exhausted. "Be positive" doesn't always work. But there are ways to feel better. You can learn exactly how our mind and body work which can give you back control and autonomy. My counseling goal is to support you in realizing and believing you have all the power to overcome anything. My approach is heart-centered. Thank you for the opportunity to be your support.

You may look like you are holding things together on the outside, but inside you feel anxious, overstimulated, disconnected, or exhausted. You might be navigating ADHD or autism and struggling to feel understood. You may be facing addiction patterns you want to break, or relationship conflicts that leave you feeling unheard. Perhaps you are questioning your identity, your direction, or your sense of belonging.
You are thoughtful. You reflect deeply. You have likely tried to manage things on your own. But something tells you that coping alone is no longer enough.You want more than temporary relief.

Hi and welcome! It is my mission to support people in a safe, non-judgmental space on their journey toward a life full of harmony, freedom and meaning. My experience has taught me that genuine presence, validation, open communication and even the smallest steps toward healing can help your growth.
My clinical psychology training allowed me to acquire CBT-based, psychodynamic, family-oriented and person-centered methods, as well as several indirect techniques (e.g. symbolic, relaxation, imaginative and more), which I have used in my practice to help individuals and couples with a wide range of mental health concerns.

I specialize in helping you to go deeper to understand and release whatever is holding you back. I weave depth psychology and attachment healing with a trauma-informed, somatic approach to help you go beyond talk therapy on its own.
During our sessions, I will encourage you to be true to yourself and your own direction, especially as you explore unsettling or difficult issues. My training and experience includes both psychological and spiritual dimensions of human growth and potential. Psychology and spirit are deeply connected: I have witnessed my own and others' healing coming through the heart, the body and the spirit.

Many of the people I work with carry stories of migration, loss, and starting over. As an Arab woman who moved to Canada during my younger adult years, I understand what it means to rebuild life in a new place while holding on to language, culture, and dignity. I work especially well with clients who feel overwhelmed, unseen, or emotionally burdened, and who need a space where their experiences are understood without explanation.

Most of my clients have not found relief through their prior therapy or medication experience, but have gained a good idea of what is not working. They have the tools, but can't seem to put it all together. They tend to have a feeling they can't resolve or get relief from. They do not want medications 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.

Whether you’re untangling the past or searching for more alignment in your present life, healing can feel like stepping into the unknown. Like most, this can cause us to avoid the process altogether. The more we avoid, the more misaligned we start to feel in ourselves.
I believe healing isn’t meant to be a solo process. I offer a grounded & open-minded space where you have permission for this process to be messy + disorganized. You don’t need to arrive with answers; we’ll slow things down & get there together. My hope for you is to come back to yourself in a way that honours all of you; even the parts that may not make sense yet.

HypnoTherapy
How does hypnotherapy work?
Hypnotherapy works by using guided hypnosis to help you reach a state of focus and concentration through mental imagery and soothing verbal repetition. The state is somewhat like being absorbed in a book, a movie, or your own thoughts. You are not under a therapist’s “control,” but they can help you relax and turn your attention inward to discover the resources to achieve behavior change or better manage psychological concerns. Therapy sessions may involve guiding you through recognizing a problem, releasing problematic thoughts about it, and considering and accepting more productive alternatives before returning to normal awareness. Hypnotherapy is typically used by a therapist along with traditional forms of talk therapy. Eventually, your therapist can help you learn hypnotherapy techniques yourself so you can establish a stronger sense of control on your own in stressful or challenging moments.
Is hypnotherapy the same as hypnosis?
Hypnotherapy, which is sometimes called hypnotic suggestion, is a therapeutic technique in which a therapist uses hypnosis to help patients. It is not the kind of hypnosis portrayed in stage shows, or in movies or on television. You will not be unconscious or asleep during hypnotherapy, you will not lose control of yourself, your thoughts, or your free will, and you will be able to fully recall your experience. And while you will hear your therapist’s suggestions, it is always up to you to decide whether to act on them. Hypnosis by a trained mental-health professional is not a form of mind control, which is impossible to achieve anyway.
Can everyone be hypnotized?
The most common challenge of hypnotherapy is that as many as one in four people cannot be hypnotized. Brain imaging has confirmed differences in patterns of brain connectivity between those who respond to hypnotism and those who do not. Other people who could potentially be hypnotized may not respond to the technique because of their skepticism or resistance to entering a hypnotic state. If a therapist’s “post-hypnotic suggestion” is effective, it’s because they are suggesting something you want to achieve.
Does hypnotherapy work?
Through hypnotherapy, you can achieve changes that are real and sustainable. Like other talk therapy techniques, when hypnotherapy succeeds, it’s a case of mind over matter. Effective hypnotherapy involves self-healing because you access resources you need to change inside of yourself and learn how to tap into them whenever you need. Hypnotherapy has been shown to be an effective therapy for anxiety, phobias, stress, panic attacks, post-traumatic stress disorder, sexual dysfunction, and undesirable behaviors like smoking. It can be used to help improve sleep or to address relationship challenges, and to aid with pain management, digestive disorders, skin conditions, and the gastrointestinal side effects of pregnancy or chemotherapy.
