Therapists in L4C
I specialize in supporting individuals facing anxiety, depression, and emotional challenges, often rooted in past experiences or life transitions. My work focuses on helping people break free from cycles of overthinking and self-doubt, exploring how their past may influence their current struggles. I also have experience working with refugees, providing support to those who have faced trauma, displacement, and the complexities of rebuilding their lives. My approach offers a safe space to uncover insights, heal, and build resilience.

Long before we learn to question our lives and ourselves, we inherit the language that quietly does the questioning for us. Its definitions become our beliefs; our beliefs become our judgments; and our judgments become very real emotions — even when they are based on a mirage. This is why the investigation of language is central to my approach. My aim is to unlock your inner philosopher: the part of you that asks the right questions and questions the wrong answers. Once you become intimately familiar with your mind, you will find your own company quite charming, and may end up becoming your own best friend.

My ideal client is an adult looking to heal and move past their traumas, face long-term struggles, understand themselves better and build healthier relationships. Therapy is not just about coping with symptoms; it is about creating meaningful and lasting change. With more than a decade of experience, I specialize in helping adults heal from trauma and break free from patterns of anxiety, depression, and painful relationships. Many of my clients come to therapy feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or disconnected from themselves and others.

I work with children and adults who are experiencing conflict or distress associated with loss, transition or change; who may find some feelings or experiences too overwhelming or difficult to communicate using words alone, or for those who may avoid feelings or confuse issues in their use of words. The therapy I provide may suit for those who suffer from problems that stem from body related issues, concern about body image, or issues with trust. Some of my clients have impairment or trauma that may hinder the capacity for them or others to acknowledge and understand personal areas of strength and weakness.

Many neurodivergent, ADHD, autistic, gifted, or 2e adults live in the tension between who they are and who they learned they had to be. You may find yourself monitoring every interaction, carrying old criticisms, or pushing yourself past exhaustion. This inner push-pull can leave you feeling disconnected, overwhelmed, or unsure of how to show up as your real self, especially when it feels like everyone else was truly handed instructions you never received. At Becoming Yourself Counselling, I offer a safe, grounded space to explore these inner conflicts, understand your patterns, and gently move toward a more authentic way of being

Are you carrying something that's hard to name? A pattern that keeps repeating, like a merry-go-round you never chose to get on? That feeling of not quite belonging, or that pain that lives in the space between your body and mind?
You are not alone.
I walk beside people navigating the messy in-between of trauma, grief, identity and the quite influence of culture and faith. My approach weaves psychodynamic and existential frameworks with person-centred and somatic care - because healing happens when we honour the beautiful complexity of your mind, body and soul.

I offer online therapy in Toronto and across Ontario in English & Farsi, with focus on trauma, relationships, self-worth, and the immigrant experience. Free 15-minute consultation available. Reach out when you're ready.

From the outside, you appear driven and ambitious, managing your career goals, responsibilities, and life expectations. Inside, you might feel drained, anxious about money, behind on life milestones, or frustrated that everyday tasks take more effort than they should. I work with young adults and early to mid-career professionals build clarity and confidence through financial stress, ADHD, and complex family or relationship dynamics. Together, we can work through what’s been keeping you stuck and find tools that actually work for your brain so you can take meaningful steps towards building the life you want to lead.

Are you somebody who wants to be more in control of your thoughts, emotions, and relationships? It can feel so exhausting stuck between the person you are and the person you want to be. Through my own experiences in therapy, I learned to take agency over the unhealthy tendencies in my mind. That journey inspired me to offer that same support to others. As a Registered Psychotherapist (Qualifying) and MA in Counseling Psychology student under clinical supervision, I support clients in understanding their mind, body, and social environment – so they can feel grounded, optimistic, and more like themselves again.
