We’re all looking for healing and a sense of connection - it is so very human of you to even be in search of a therapist for support. Hi, I’m Zahra, and I’d love to guide you on this bumpy road called life. I help Gen Z and Millennial clients improve their relationship with themselves, their ability to manage anxiety and stress, and help them feel more fulfilled with their life choices.

I can't wait to connect with you! I’m a passionate Mental Health advocate, with over 10 years of experience offering compassionate and trauma informed care.

Human connection is a powerful tool towards healing. Together we can explore internal strengths and build on a brighter path forward.

As we journey through life, unfair things happen. The associated thoughts, feelings and people can stay with us as painful memories, create a sense of burden and influence our future expectations. While we can't change the past, it is under our control to change the way we look at what happened. As challenging events and relationships unfold, we can control how we respond. We do this by becoming more aware of automatic negative reactions and replacing them with healthier thoughts, feelings and behaviours. In sessions, we explore thoughts, ideas, feelings, behaviours and interpersonal patterns that cause us to feel "stuck" in life.

Sometimes life throws us curveballs, and it can seem impossible and hard to carry forward.
