You survived the abusive relationship—but you may still feel that something inside you has been lost. I work with strong, capable women who have rebuilt their lives after domestic violence yet still struggle with confidence, identity, and self-trust. If you are ready to move beyond survival and reclaim your voice, purpose, and personal power, therapy can help you reconnect with who you truly are. With over 22 years of experience, I integrate trauma-informed approaches, including EMDR, to support women in rebuilding self-trust, restoring their sense of agency, and creating a meaningful, fulfilling life.

I am experienced in working with individuals, couples and families. I am very passionate about working with couples. I believe that quality work comes from a good therapeutic relationship, a good connection with the client, when therapy is done from a place of curiosity and respect and meeting clients where they are at emotionally. Therapy can be for anyone, whether your goal is to heal from a toxic relationship, become more self-aware, overcome self-doubt, learn to set healthy boundaries, or connect with your partner or other family members.

On the surface, you may seem capable, driven, and in control—but inside, something feels off. You might be dealing with anxiety, low mood, or a sense of disconnection. Work can feel draining, relationships strained, and even your achievements haven’t brought the fulfillment you expected. You’re not just looking to cope—you want clarity, emotional balance, and a way of living that feels grounded, meaningful, and sustainable.

Many of the clients I work with carry the weight of trauma, whether from childhood, painful relationships, or major life transitions. On the outside, they may seem capable and strong, but inside they often feel unseen, disconnected, or unsure of themselves. Trauma can leave them torn between wanting to move forward and feeling stuck in the past.
These struggles often show up in relationships and careers. My clients may give too much, struggle with boundaries, or repeat painful patterns where they are not valued. At their core, these women seek healing, clarity, and empowerment. They long to release old wounds, reclaim self-worth.

As my mentors have helped me in my life, and as they have guided me through difficult points of self-growth and reflection, I have come to learn the value of being there for others to progress through our own difficult times. We need each other. I do believe it is far less problematic to overcome challenges with guidance and direction. Even more so when that guidance is refined through education, experience, and a standardized expectation of practice. I am capable of direct billing for ICBC and CVAP and can be accepted through other insurance agencies (i.e. Sunlife, BlueCross, GreenShield)

Whether you're questioning your beliefs, leaving a high-control religion, or making sense of harmful religious experiences, you may find yourself struggling with anxiety, shame, grief, identity, relationships, or trusting your own instincts.

What can a Muslim therapist help with?
Muslim therapists can help you with the same range of mental health concerns that any qualified therapist can, including anxiety, depression, trauma, grief, life transitions, relationship challenges, and family conflict. They can support you in developing coping skills, communication strategies, and improving self-esteem. If you are Muslim, seeing a therapist who personally identifies as Muslim may be especially helpful when your mental health concerns intersect with your faith, culture, or identity. Topics that may be especially relevant to discuss with a therapist who shares your background include navigating discrimination, family expectations, gender norms, marriage expectations, religious questioning, or feeling disconnected from your faith or community.
Why might faith context matter in therapy for Muslim clients?
A therapist who understands Islamic beliefs may be better able to recognize how spirituality and religious observance affect your life. In some cases, a therapist may directly incorporate faith into therapy, which may be described as Islamic counselling, and is used alongside other types of mental health support. A shared faith context may also strengthen the therapeutic alliance since you may find more trust with a therapist who understands your background. At the same time, you and your therapist do not need to share the same faith or cultural background to work together effectively. Many therapists who are not Muslim can still provide culturally responsive care if they approach your beliefs, practices, and experiences with respect and humility, rather than making assumptions or dismissing the role of faith or culture.
How can a Muslim therapist support couples counselling or family therapy?
A Muslim therapist can support couples counselling, family therapy, and marriage counselling for concerns such as communication challenges, conflict, parenting, intimacy, life transitions, and extended family stress. For example, Muslim marriage counselling may help a couple navigate disagreements about religious practices or managing expectations from extended family. For Muslim couples or families, therapy may include discussion of how Islamic values or community norms shape relationships. Therapy may be especially helpful when partners or family members have different expectations around marriage, gender roles, parenting, caregiving, or religious practice. Depending on your preferences, a Muslim therapist may incorporate faith-informed discussion alongside traditional therapy approaches, such as communication skills, emotional regulation strategies, and conflict-resolution techniques.
How might I enquire about a therapist's experience working with Muslim clients?
If faith or cultural background is important to you in therapy, it can be helpful to ask a prospective therapist whether they have experience working with Muslim clients. In initial conversations with potential therapists, you might ask questions such as, “Have you worked with Muslim clients before?” or “How do you approach conversations about faith in therapy?” If a specific branch or tradition of Islam is important to you, you may also ask whether they have experience with your specific community, such as Sunni, Shia, or another Muslim community. As sessions begin, it can be helpful to notice how the therapist responds to your concerns. A good therapist should respond with respect, curiosity, and cultural humility. If you feel dismissed, misunderstood, or find yourself having to explain your beliefs or cultural context constantly, it may be worth considering another therapist.
Who is included in Psychology Today's directory of Muslim therapists?
The directory of Muslim therapists includes mental health professionals who have shared their cultural background in their profiles. Psychology Today uses this information to assist clients in finding a therapist with a similar background. However, not all therapists choose to disclose this information, and they may not appear in search results for this reason. When the number of therapists identified as Muslim is limited, the directory will also show therapists with extensive experience working with clients from relevant backgrounds.
