With over 4 years of focused experience supporting neurodivergent teenagers (e.g., Autism, ADHD, Selective Mutism, and learning differences), I work with teenagers and families through a neuro-affirming lens, using a trauma-informed approach to support nervous system co-regulation, unpack emotional burdens and numbness, and foster resiliency. I currently work full-time in a residential mental health facility, supporting adults living with various mental health conditions, including PTSD, Borderline Personality Disorder, Major Depressive Disorder, sexual abuse/assault trauma, chronic suicidal ideation, and more.

My practice supports newcomers, immigrants, and individuals facing major life transitions. Clients often experience anxiety, depression, emotional disorders, trauma, and relationship challenges, along with stress from cultural adjustment, language barriers, and family separation. I provide culturally sensitive, trauma-informed care focused on stabilization, coping, and growth. Using supportive counselling, psychoeducation, and cognitive-behavioural strategies, I help clients process trauma, strengthen relationships, build resilience, and regain stability, confidence, and a renewed sense of control in daily life.

Some struggles do not look dramatic from the outside. A child sits over homework and cannot begin. An adult reaches evening with too much unfinished. A parent becomes the voice they never wanted to use. I work with children, teens, adults, and parents facing ADHD, anxiety, burnout, screen conflict, school/work pressure, low confidence, emotional intensity, and strained relationships. I am a physician, psychotherapist, educator, and systems thinker. I look beneath the problem to the pattern: sleep, stress, body, habits, family, school, work, and environment. Then we build a way forward that is clear, humane, and usable in real life.

Do you feel overwhelmed, numb, stressed, anxious, depressed, angry, hopeless, ashamed, lost, haunted by the past, or alone? At times we can become stuck in these painful emotions, and we desperately wish to avoid them. We temporarily block them or distract ourselves only for them to return with a vengeance. Instead, when we turn towards them to hear and heal what is underneath, the painful emotions can be truly transformed. In this way, we can use emotions as a guide and overcome the obstacles in reaching our full potential.

Hi, I’m Mahtab. I work with couples who may feel distant, misunderstood, or caught in repeating patterns that no longer serve them. Relationships can be deeply meaningful but they can also be challenging. Many couples find themselves stuck in the same arguments, or unsure how to move forward together. If that sounds familiar, you’re not alone.
I help partners slow down, listen to each other more deeply, and reconnect on an emotional level so they can rebuild closeness and move forward together with greater understanding and compassion.
I have a Master degree in Social Work with many years of experience in working with couples.

I help you cope with anxiety and depression. I do this in stages. The first stage is to offer tools to regulate your emotions before they become unmanageable and lead to panic attacks or isolation. In the second stage I help you discover things about yourself that you are not fully aware of. With this self discovery, you will understand WHY you do what you do in life, HOW you became the person that you are today and HOW to transform certain aspects of yourself that no longer serve you to become the amazing person you were born to be.

Are you feeling stuck, anxious, down or disconnected? Even if you’ve built a successful life, it’s possible to feel weighed down by self-doubt or worry. For 30 years, I’ve helped people get to the roots of what’s holding them back.
One fundamental truth that I have learned over the years is: What we have experienced, we expect. We won’t just focus on surface "fixes" for your symptoms (e.g., social anxiety, traumatic fears, and non-assertiveness); we will work together to understand their root causes and dismantle and heal them so that they can be replaced by new authentic ways of being within yourself, others, and the world.
