Welcome! At some point, you may have experienced stress, felt anxious, overwhelmed, sad, or depressed. No one is immune to these common, human conditions. Sometimes, we can work such emotions out on our own by changing our lifestyles, reading books, taking classes, or through talking with friends and family members. Other times, we notice patterns that we haven’t been able to change on our own, or issues start to overwhelm us and negatively affect our lives, relationships, and work. I hope to create a warm and supportive environment where my clients are encouraged to seek positive change and growth.

Are you facing anxiety, self-doubt, or uncertainty and seeking a safe space where your emotions are respected and understood? Look no further.

My third culture kid (TCK) upbringing nurtured in me an interest in cross-cultural dialogue and interfaith work, and I eventually became passionate about peacebuilding. I facilitated cross-cultural dialogue among university students from different countries and worked with unaccompanied refugee youth from various African countries. This has equipped me with the ability to work with people from diverse backgrounds. Inner peace is essential for peaceful relationships with others, and I learned this after witnessing the trauma of the revolution and its aftermath.

Healing starts with Acceptance: Instead of suppressing or denying first, we acknowledge negative thoughts and feelings. Then we work on raising awareness of your unhelpful thoughts and core beliefs coming from your childhood and leading to severe mental issues, like depression and anxiety. I am here to help you recognize how you have developed these thoughts and how they affect your feelings and behaviors. You just need believe in yourself and in the benefit of psychotherapy. It is important to consider the therapy without bias and doubt both in you and in me. For more info about me and my practice: www.ahealingsoul.ca

Often it is difficult to prioritize our needs and reach out for help when we are struggling. I can understand that taking the first step towards seeking support is not always easy. I can provide a safe non judgmental space to all my clients. I take my time in completing the intake process and listen to all your needs. I can offer 90 minute sessions as I understand that 1 hour is usually not enough to share all about your issues and build rapport with someone you are meeting for the first time. I hold my clients' hands through this process so they can trust me to help and support them.

I have always been fascinated by the mind particularly in its vast impact in all areas of our lives. I believe when people learn to control their mind to adopt a more positive mindset, they can transform their lives and gain personal empowerment. One of my most important goals as a therapist is to support individuals in achieving psychological flexibility by increasing their capacity to accept and be present with their own thoughts, emotions, and sensations. In order, to increase their ability for distress tolerance and emotional regulation.

There’s a lot that holds us back from trying therapy. We may think we need a serious problem to see a therapist. But therapy is for everyone. Because, as humans, we experience sadness, stress, anxiety, and emotional dysregulation. The only qualification to go to therapy is to be human. You may ask, why not talk to a friend? Because friends aren’t properly trained to listen. As you attend therapy, patterns and insights begin to emerge, old wounds open up, and traumas are acknowledged. Going to therapy is a sign of sanity, a commitment to your mental health and a better future.

As a therapist, I am committed to creating a safe and empathetic environment where you can feel heard, validated, and understood.
