Therapists in K2A

I am a Registered Psychotherapist offering psychotherapy and counselling services in private practice for individuals (18 and older) in the Ottawa region. I support individuals in the following areas of trauma, anxiety, stress management, grief and loss, low mood and depression, assertiveness training, relationship difficulties, challenging life transitions, and acculturation and immigration concerns. I also provide supervision to therapists who are registered, or working towards registration, with the College of Registered Psychotherapists of Ontario.

As a Psychotherapist, I strive to provide a safe, judgement-free, compassionate and growth-focused space for my clients, where their voices can be heard and encouragement is given to explore new ways of relating to difficult thoughts, feelings, memories and experiences. I have 14 years of extensive experience working with children, teenagers and adults facing diverse challenges including, but not limited to: depression, anxiety, substance use, and suicidal ideation. As a Queer therapist, I am passionate about working with fellow Queer/2SLGBTQ+ folks and allies, and love supporting clients throughout their identity journey.

Healing is a journey, and therapy is but one step. Through my practice I offer clients a warm, empathetic, and compassionate counselling style. I strive to collaborate with my clients in achieving the goals they set in their healing journey. I approach therapy with a non-judgmental attitude, recognizing that everyone has a unique journey that has led them to the present. I aim to empower my clients and assist them in establishing the confidence and resilience needed to reach their therapeutic goals.

Accepting New Clients: in-person and virtual availablity: Navigating challenges like anxiety, depression, anger, stress, or cultural identity can feel overwhelming. Having support can guide you through. I am compassionate and committed to providing a safe, non-judgmental, supportive therapeutic space for clients to feel empowered and accepted. Therapy is collaborative; I work with clients to identify challenges, gain insight, overcome obstacles, strengthen connections, and achieve personal growth. Each person is unique, with diverse values and experiences, and I engage in genuine dialogue to understand their identity.

I believe that therapy is like building a warm and safe sanctuary together. A therapeutic space is one where we can comfortably be ourselves and process our past and present lives. Drawing from my South Asian and Muslim background, I bring an integrative and culturally sensitive approach to healing, rooted in trauma-informed practices. My aim is to provide you with a safe and non-judgemental space to share your life story and work collaboratively to discover or rediscover your values and meaning in life. Picture yourself as the driver, steering your life's journey, with me as your passenger.

Do you feel challenged or overwhelmed by e.g.: general life problems, mental health problems like anxiety or depression, issues of abuse and trauma, marital/ relationship problems, separation/ divorce, bullying, career issues, parental difficulties, life or workplace stress, grief and loss, women’s issues or health-related topics? My services are tailored towards your particular circumstances and needs.

We all have the capacity to make meaningful changes and heal.

Welcome! Making the choice to engage in therapy requires courage, however it can be an empowering and positive experience towards a more fulfilling life. Over the past 14 years I have integrated my training and work in clinical and agency settings to offer counselling to clients looking to improve their mental wellness and overall functioning. Some clients report feeling ready when they cannot eliminate feelings like they are "facing an uphill battle" or that they are "overwhelmed" by daily life stressors and need support.

Whether you self-identify as an ADHDer or love someone who is, if you want support from someone who really gets it, I can help. If you seek answers to the challenges that often go with being an ADHDer, or if you're newly diagnosed and seek guidance on moving forward, I can help. If overwhelm, stress, or anxiety is making it difficult to function, I can help. If you're feeling misunderstood, alone, frustrated or hopeless in a relationship with an ADHDer or non ADHD partner, I can help. If you seek a better connection with those who matter, but struggle to create healthy boundaries and communication, I can help.

It's not you! Your environment seems scary right now. The world out there can feel like it's on fire... fear, sadness and dread are appropriate responses to what's going on but there are alternatives. I accompany clients who feel overwhelmed and long to find a sense of purpose and of safety. I attend people who have given up hope and feel powerless and defeated by a seemingly uncivil world. I work with people in relationships struggling to keep their communication compassionate and clear- who want to grow their erotic intimacy. You and I can co- create a narrative for you made up of bravery, compassion, joy and...of fun!
