Therapists in Brampton, ON

As being a Muslim woman, mother, and first generation Canadian, I found it’s difficult to navigate through too many roles and responsibilities that lead us towards facing many mental health issues of anxiety, depression, stress, and low self esteem, at times. I can help you with navigating through these challenges, staying focused, engaged, working towards and achieving your life goals as well as in attaining an authentic self. I have graduated in Masters of Arts in Counselling Psychology, qualified to provide virtual counselling and psychotherapy under the supervision of an approved supervisor.

We will work together to first understand how your thoughts, feelings and previous life experiences impact the way you currently engage the world. Living the life you want requires you to think, plan, and do things differently, so we'll spend time uncovering your strengths and moving in the direction of your healing journey and desired goals.
