Equitable Life of Canada Therapists in T2G

Struggling with grief, trauma, or relationships? I provide tailored, empathetic guidance to navigate your unique challenges. Together, we'll explore your emotions, nurturing resilience and fostering growth. Whether it's grief, trauma, parenting, or self-discovery you seek support for, I'm here to empower you on your healing journey.

Unfortunately, I am not able to take new clients at this time (I am keeping a waitlist, so if you'd like to be added, please feel free to reach out). I believe there is an innate strength in all of us; I also know that living a fulfilling and meaningful life can be a profoundly challenging task. If you are struggling with a life transition, depression, anxiety, or behaviours and emotions that aren't comfortable for you, counselling may be able to help you shift things. A therapist with compassion, empathy, and a base of knowledge about human behavior and psychology can be an extremely powerful agent in achieving change.

Now Accepting New Clients! I am a Trauma-Focused ACT Therapist, specializing with individuals struggling with compulsive behavior, obsessive thoughts, increased anxiety, depression, and hopelessness. Often, in our lives, we can feel pulled away from who we are and where we want to be, like our thoughts, feelings, and world around us are in control of where we go and how we get there. I work to empower my clients to reconnect with themselves and the world around them so that they can transform difficult times into moments of growth, leaving their lives better as a result.

The heart of my practice is believing that the client is the expert of themselves. I believe that everyone has the answers within themselves and that my role, along with creative expression, is to help you find those answers. Combining counselling and creative expression is a way for clients to develop a better understanding of their inner self as well as address underlying conflicts.

As of September 2023, accepting new clients! If you are a resident of Alberta seeking online, convenient, secure counselling, TherapEase Counselling might be for you! I eliminate the fuss of travelling to your counsellor's office and minimize the anxiety of running into someone you know in your counsellor's office. I bring counselling skills to you—wherever you are—by offering video and telephone counselling options. Counselling services through TherapEase are available to adults aged 18+ living in the province of Alberta.

You find it hard to express yourself clearly to loved ones when emotions are charged. Maybe you are struggling to make sense of who you are as a person, a parent or a partner, and the decisions you make just don't feel like you anymore. Getting in touch with your feelings can be stressful but it doesn't have to be that way. You don't have to be alone with self-doubt, anger, fear or shame anymore. Therapy can help you improve your relationships and feel more like yourself again while you gain the insight and clarity you are looking for.

As a compassionate and experienced mental health expert, I am committed to empowering clients facing challenges such as anxiety, depression, bipolar disorder, grief and loss, OCD, trauma-related disorders such as PTSD, and neurodiversity (including autism or ADHD) in achieving their well-being and recovery objectives. With a unique set of skills and knowledge, I am able to offer effective therapeutic services in multiple languages, including Turkish, Farsi, Urdu, Hindi, Panjabi, and basic Japanese, in addition to English. I have earned Ph.D., MSc., and BA degrees in Psychology from reputable universities in the USA, India, and Iran.

Do you feel like you are living in misalignment with the things you care about? That you're living with unmet potential and spend time focusing on things that don't match with your values? At work or in your relationships, this could be showing up as a big sense of distraction — even though you’re doing so much, it seems like you’re getting nowhere. You have high hopes and big dreams, but feel disconnected and stuck. Something might feel “off” and it’s hard for you to feel motivated to keep going through motions without procrastinating and delaying. I work with clients to improve their overall performance and life satisfaction.

Do you find yourself avoiding difficult situations and struggling to break free of unhealthy patterns? My goal is to customize therapy to each client’s needs to help them make meaningful and long-lasting change, by identifying new tools and perspectives for familiar challenges and supporting clients in using these tools in real life situations. I believe with the right tools and support everyone is able to make the changes they want to see in their life. I am passionate about helping you find the right skills to make your change. I also offer psychoeducational, giftedness, adult ADHD, personality and intelligence assessments.

Stress can impact the whole person and trauma can turn one’s world upside down. Sexual and physical assault, combat, medical traumas or serious accidents are all examples of traumatic events that can cause an array of distressing symptoms. Anxiety, depression, flashbacks, nightmares along with nausea, and chronic fatigue are common and can wreak havoc on relationships. Sometimes feelings of horror, anger, sadness can seem to come out of nowhere making people feel like they are going “crazy.” But they are not. These are symptoms of trauma, and specialized evidence base treatment can help.
