Therapists in M5S
I work with adults who have experienced trauma and are navigating the complex and painful journey of healing. Whether it's childhood trauma, emotional neglect, or unresolved relational wounds, we can work toward making sense of your past and moving toward a sense of wholeness. Attachment wounds are intensely painful and can make you feel overwhelmed and isolated. By focusing on inner child healing, reparenting the self, and addressing attachment patterns, we can release painful memories, nurture your emotional needs and cultivate healthier relationships. You will discover how early experiences shape your current relationships.

Are you working through challenges, or seeking growth? Have your tried methods not been especially true? You may not have a coherent formulation of what you seek (especially for those new to therapy); part of my job is to help you reach those insights and feel hope or excitement for the change to come. If you're reticent, I welcome you to a commitment-free chat to get a better sense of the process. If you're ready and want to make a change, now is the time. My door is always open.

As a bi-cultural, Egyptian, Arab, first-generation immigrant woman, I draw on my lived experience and understand that it takes courage to seek the vulnerable experience of therapy. This encourages me to listen with empathy, collaboratively looking with you for ways to heal. While it is challenging to look inwards, by understanding our experience we can begin to deepen our connection to ourselves. I see therapy as a vehicle for transformation on a non linear, non judgmental path.

I’m a registered counsellor and EMDR Certified Therapist from Hong Kong, offering therapy in English, Cantonese, and Mandarin. My personal experiences have inspired me to deepen my understanding of trauma and its related symptoms, such as anxiety and depression. I’ve dedicated myself to studying how the brain and nervous system respond to trauma, and how it can lead to changes that affect physical health, behaviour, social patterns, and our ability to cope with stress. My goal is to come alongside my clients to create conditions for healing, resilience and growth.

Accepting new clients. At times life can make us feel far away from ourselves and when that happens each day can feel challenging. Together I hope our work brings about new understanding of yourself as well as compassion for the ways our adaptive bodies and brains function to protect and connect us. In therapy I like to use laughter, curiosity, and genuine connection to build therapeutic relationship. I offer both virtual individual therapy and in person therapy in Almonte Ontario (just outside of Kanata).

I believe deeply in the transformative power of a non-judgemental space where all of you is welcome. In the past, you may have made the wise choice to separate from who you were to create safety. In the present, this fragmentation can give rise to anxiety, depression, disordered eating, aggression/anger, and an overall feeling of being lost and purposeless—all contributing to difficulty in everyday life. I see my role as a compassionate companion, walking along side clients on their journey back home to their authentic self, by supporting their innate capacity for growth and change.
