If you’ve been feeling overwhelmed, stuck in old patterns, or unsure of how to move forward, you’re not alone and you don’t have to navigate it by yourself. I support adults across Alberta & Ontario who are dealing with anxiety, depression, low self-worth, relationship challenges, burnout, attachment wounds, grief & loss, addiction, life transitions, and the weight of family or cultural expectations. As a South Asian and Muslim therapist raised in Canada, I understand the nuances that come with balancing multiple identities, navigating cultural and intergenerational expectations & coping with mental health stigma in our community.
My approach is collaborative and empowering. I draw from CBT, DBT, Narrative Therapy, Solution-Focused Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, and somatic approaches to help you understand your emotions, shift unhelpful thought patterns, reconnect with your body’s signals, and move toward the life you want to build. I work from a trauma-informed lens.
Clients often describe me as warm, grounded, and practical. I offer a safe, culturally responsive, LGBTQIA+ affirming space where you can slow down and be fully supported. If this feels like the right fit, I invite you to book a free 20-minute consult so we can connect.
