Therapists in Burford, ON

I am a Registered Psychotherapist with the CRPO. I obtained a Masters degree in Marriage and Family Therapy from the United States. My integrated psychotherapy approach for individual adults/teenagers, couples, and families combines relational, emotion-focused, attachment informed, trauma informed, and somatic elements. This comprehensive approach emphasizes the importance of your relationship with yourself and others, encourages emotional exploration, considers attachment histories, acknowledges trauma's impact, and fosters trust and positive self-esteem. It aims to promote individual/relational healing, inside and out.

The pressure is soul-crushing. Life looks great on paper but you’re burnt out. You were expected to be the perfect child. Speak and act right, best the best, achieve. Mistakes meant you failed. As an adult, there’s no room for rest. You’ll be bored. Seen as weak. It’s exhausting keeping up the façade. You’ve tried therapy to help with your stress, overwhelming thoughts, and unhappiness, but you were overbooked. You tried to squeeze it in, but finding the right therapist who didn’t judge felt impossible. I understand because I’ve been where you are. I was bullied at school and work, told “Get lost you Paki, go home to your country.”

As a therapist, my goal is to help you to navigate through the difficult situations, life changes and events. Together, we can focus on skills that foster resiliency in the face of inevitable life challenges and stressors. I have several years of experience working with teens and adults dealing with anxiety, depression, grief, relationship issues, substance use and other mental health concerns. I appreciate the complexities and challenges that life has to offer especially from a cultural and racial lens.

Greetings! I am a Muslim, queer-allied, trauma focused therapist. No matter where you are in your journey, I welcome you to explore, reflect on, and create a compassionate relationship with your inner world. I draw primarily from a dialectical behavioral and attachment framework, as well as parts work and psychodynamics. These frameworks are useful for anyone grappling with trauma, depression/anxiety, ADHD, grief, relationship challenges, and others. My goal is to empower clients to build internal capacity and strengthen their relationship with their internal landscape to better cope with the realities of the world.

If you’re considering therapy it might feel like you have to have all the answers before you start, but your desire for change is enough. As a queer therapist, I'm dedicated to serving our 2SLGBTQ+ communities. I also have a passion for supporting healthcare providers, high-performance athletes, and members of the Muslim community. Therapy is a powerful tool that can help you navigate life's challenges. By exploring the interplay of comfort and discomfort, we create a space for transformation. Together, we'll work on amplifying your strengths, deepening your self-awareness, and challenging perspectives that may be holding you back.

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.

Imagine unleashing the true version of your 'Self' & knowing the treasures you have inside you! Sometimes we get stuck thinking about the past and it's exhausting, replaying what happened and wishing you could forget and move on. If you have a history of trauma, a painful childhood, or have suffered from anxiety/depression, OCD, grief, or phobias, then this is even more true of you. Every time you let go off old perspectives, conditioning & hurt you allow yourself to heal & create a new future because every breath is a chance to be reborn. Allow yourself to find joy in the ordinary, evolve, liberate & reclaim your 'Self'! Live It...
