Therapists in Vancouver, BC
Hi there, nice to meet you! There are a lot of therapists on here and it can be hard to know where to start, so to help you work out if I might be the right fit, here are some headline facts about me: I am proudly LGBTQ2SI+ friendly, an intersectional feminist and strengths based counsellor. I work using a trauma informed approach and believe that clients are the experts of their own lives so I believe the best thing I can do is create a non-judgemental space for them. I love to laugh, run, drink tea and am open about choosing not to have children in a world that makes that difficult.

I know that it takes a lot of courage to reach out for help at times when we feel distressed, overwhelmed, vulnerable, confused, wrought with sadness, shame, hurt, guilt, intense worry... Some of us have been told or made feel that we do not deserve better, or that we are not good enough, or smart enough, or thin enough, or strong enough, or funny enough... Sometimes we seek refuge in food, alcohol, drugs, sex, or self-harm to cope with the belief that we can never feel differently about ourselves or the world.

I work at the crossroads of culture, mental health, and social-economic integration. My counselling is for people who want to belong while staying true to themselves – especially racialized first and second-generation Canadians who may feel torn between worlds.
Our background is not a footnote in our lives; it shapes our strengths and struggles, and how and where we find home. With years of learning and teaching language, religion and culture, and lived experience across the Arab world, South and Southeast Asia, and Canada, I help clients identify tools as well as traps in their heritage and discover their authentic selves.

Do you wonder if you’re the only one around who experiences the world with the intensity you do? Depending on how stressed you are, it may feel like you’re on alert or like you’re living in a soundproof glass box, cut off from others. You may have a hard time focusing on conversations with co-workers and family. You might have been told you’re "oversensitive" or have "no filter.". You may be feeling frustrated with yourself for not being able to get things together and just move forward, but the pandemic has made everything harder, and it feels like there are always too many moving parts. You want for a space to talk this through.

Struggling to trust others or finding yourself stuck in the same painful relationship patterns? I support adults who have difficulty expressing their feelings, navigating relationship issues, or healing from past relational wounds so they can build secure, fulfilling connections. Together, we’ll explore how past experiences may have shaped your present patterns, emotions, and sense of safety, helping you understand yourself more deeply and create more authentic ways of relating. Through my own healing journey, I’ve learned how important it is to have a welcoming space where you can openly express yourself without judgment.

It is all about clans.
We all start our lives in a family and for years, we swim in this familiy's emotional atmosphere as babies. We learn many ways of looking at the world and being in the world from our original families.
Then we get into new clans; School, relationships, friends, work. There, the old ways of being from our original family follow us. We automatically repeat certain patterns and behave in these rather old ways without even noticing. These pattens actually do not define us, yet they drive our thoughts, our emotions and our behaviours. Then we get stuck with this question:
"What am I doing?"
Sounds familiar?

Life can feel like too much sometimes.
You may be feeling anxious for no clear reason, emotionally drained even if everything looks “fine” on the outside. Perhaps you're carrying a story that feels too heavy—painful relationships, overwhelming emotions, or a kind of discomfort you can’t quite name.
If some part of you is saying, “I can’t keep going like this,” therapy might be a good place to begin.
I work with adults navigating anxiety, stress-related physical symptoms, emotional exhaustion, and the impact of trauma. Many of my clients are in the middle of difficult transitions—breakups, grief, immigration, or identity shifts.

It is possible to hold space for both the light and the darkness in life without feeling consumed. My goal is to create a safe and warm space for you to explore, unpack, and navigate your concerns. You are the expert in your lived experience and I hold important teachings from my education. I also understand that there are oppressive systems that impact our daily lives. I can help to unpack these systems and help empower you to find your potential and truth.

Trauma impacts how we see the world, navigate through our experiences, and connect with others. You are not the product of a single experience or relationship but sometimes one experience can feel so overwhelming that it overtakes over all others. Together, you can start to dream about what life will look like if this problem or memory is no longer an obstacle.
