Do you feel stuck in struggling with your unprocessed feelings, repeating the same patterns and not being able to move forward? Or maybe you feel helpless as your family is suffering through a crisis or an ongoing challenge. Coping with anxiety, depression, conflict in relationships or past trauma can make you feel resigned to a state of survival. Specializing in trauma, couples counselling, and children’s mental health I can help you reduce stress and conflict and find new meaning in your life and relationships. I also lead a team of diverse therapists and social workers and together we can cater to the needs of the whole family.

Have you been dealing with big changes in your life, trauma that are causing stress, anxiety, sadness, or feeling overwhelmed? I'm here to empower you by working together to overcome these challenges and teach you new ways of thinking to make positive changes in your life. My safe, non-judgmental space is here to support you on your journey towards healing and a better quality of life. As an immigrant Muslim woman who has lived in multiple multicultural countries, and my unique background as a doctor greatly impact how I can support you. I am available also in Arabic Language.

Are you seeking support and guidance to navigate life's challenges and find a path towards healing and growth? At my practice, I extend a warm and understanding hand to individuals who are grappling with a wide spectrum of concerns, including anxiety, ADHD, chronic illness, depression, adolescent emotional and behavioral difficulties, pregnancy and postpartum mental wellness, self-injurious behavior, sleep issues, stress management, coping strategies, motor vehicle accidents, and trauma. My approach to psychotherapy is deeply rooted in compassion, acceptance, loving kindness, and mindfulness.

Feeling like you’re at a standstill in life? Everyone has a story to tell and you deserve to be heard, validated, believed and supported. As a psychotherapist, I make it my priority to provide a safe space to help you pinpoint where you are stuck and guide you in working through your struggles. This can range from sorting out life changes from careers to relationships and managing secondary symptoms, such as depression and anxiety. You will measure that growth has taken place through an increased propensity towards self awareness as well as conscious focus towards behaviours, thoughts and beliefs.

Feeling overwhelmed/trapped/or having racing thoughts while not knowing what to do/who turn to can be a very lonely & painful experience. The life we want for ourselves may feel distant due to stress, fear, sadness, anxiety, hopelessness, & feelings of unworthiness, shame, & guilt. I would love to walk alongside you during this time as you learn new ways of coping, get to know yourself on a deeper level, & heal/transform so that you may relate to yourself/others effectively & express yourself in a healthy way. I provide a safe, accepting, warm, nonjudgmental environment where you can feel empowered to be you.

In our lives, we often find ourselves stuck. We find it difficult to stop thinking, feeling, or behaving in ways that are no longer useful. Our interpretations of past experiences, beliefs about ourselves, others and the world, can sometimes hold us back from enjoying the present and imagining a better future. We want things to change but are uncertain how to change them. We need time, space, and guidance to transform ourselves and forge a new path. As a psychotherapist, I help facilitate your journey and guide you towards your personal goals by empowering you to remove emotional and psychological roadblocks.
