Life can have way of disconnecting us from the things we value, leaving us feeling anxious, depressed, and unfulfilled. It’s easy to feel stuck, hopeless, and adrift, but change is possible. Sometimes it takes deliberate, meaningful steps forward. Sometimes, we just need someone to hear our story and validate how we feel. We might need tools to cope with hard emotions, and other times we need to hear the crucial information those feelings are trying to tell us. Wherever you’re at, I’m here to help.

Hi, I’m Sana, an Immigrant and a Woman of Color. I provide therapy to adults navigating anxiety, low mood, relationship challenges, identity exploration, trauma, and stress.
If you often find yourself caught in non-stop racing thoughts you can’t quiet down, feeling a sense of emptiness, you can’t quite explain, or noticing that major life changes have shaken your sense of self, identity, and relationships, you’re not alone. You don’t have to figure it all out on your own.

Do you have reoccurring memories of unpleasant and distressing times from your past? Do you think you “should have” gotten over it a long time ago? Maybe you find yourself being reactive and struggle to calm down? Are you triggered by everyday experiences and become stressed by things others seem to be unbothered by? Maybe you are struggling with a negative inner voice, self sabotaging and struggling in a battle of what you know, versus how you feel. These are all symptoms of trauma. I use a combination of EMDR, trigger reduction techniques, education to help you understand what is happening, and tools to support you while you heal.

You are exhausted! You know that you could feel more fulfilled but you're not sure what to do next. You worry all the time, your energy is depleted, managing daily tasks feel impossible and you aren't feeling too great about yourself. You have a sense that your life should be different than this, that you should have a more meaningful purpose. Maybe you even know what that purpose is- but you're scared. Scared of being misunderstood, humiliated, rejected. Scared of failing. I know what that feels like. And if you're willing, I can help guide you through it.

My clients are often in their 20s to 40s, navigating life transitions, relationships, sexuality, or identity. They may feel stuck, disconnected, or unsure of who they are but want to grow and feel more confident. Many have started their healing or self-development journey and are ready to go deeper. I help clients strengthen self-worth, explore intimacy, and create more fulfilling connections- with themselves and others- through a trauma-informed and sex-positive lens.

Have you ever found yourself wondering, "How did I get here?" Life can sometimes feel overwhelming—whether you’re a new parent, a trauma survivor, or simply trying to navigate the complexities of existence. It’s easy to feel like things shouldn’t be this difficult. Perhaps your experience of parenthood isn’t what you envisioned, leaving you with a swirl of conflicting emotions as you balance this new role with all the other aspects of your identity. Maybe past challenges are surfacing in unexpected ways, or you’re struggling to pinpoint your feelings but know something feels off and you want to feel better.

You feel stuck, like you're caught in patterns of disconnection, self-doubt, or unresolved pain from the past. You’re not looking for quick fixes, you want real change. You want to understand yourself more deeply, heal what’s been holding you back, and feel more connected in who you are.
Maybe you're looking for support with your partner. You both feel distant, like you're stuck in the same arguments, or unsure how to reach each other anymore. Maybe you’re carrying resentment, hurt, or fear that things won’t change. You’re looking for more than tools, you want to understand what’s really happening, and find lasting change.

The need for connection emerges from our very core. Though we are social beings, when our core is wounded or in pain, we may instinctively attempt to protect ourselves, even from our nearest and dearest companions. Whether we’re going through a particularly challenging time in life or facing our usual day-to-day stressors, counselling can be an important part of a healthy lifestyle. I work with children, youth and adults learning to: respond skillfully to emotional distress; adjust to expected and unexpected life transitions; process grief and loss; and manage parenting demands and expectations.
