On the outside you look unstoppable: confident, independent, the one who always keeps it together. But no one sees that beneath the surface, you feel like you drowning in a secret struggle. You’re exhausted from fighting invisible battles. Perhaps you grapple with trust issues, irritability, grief, inexplicable anxiety, feelings of detachment from those around you, or even yourself. Or maybe you are stuck in cycles of high adrenaline followed by exhaustion, relying on caffeine, sleep aids, or binge eating just to get through the day. What once helped you to survive has now become a pattern that is seriously keeping you stuck

I offer individual therapy both in person & virtually, Monday to Thursday. I primarily use CBT, solution-focused therapy, person-centered therapy and a trauma informed approach.

You might be someone who feels misunderstood, torn between who you are inside and who you think you are supposed to be. Maybe you hide parts of yourself to keep the peace, carry anxiety or sadness in silence, or feel caught between cultures, roles, or expectations. You may long for a space where you don’t have to perform or filter yourself, where you can understand your feelings, set healthier boundaries, and move toward a life that feels more like your own.

You wonder if it’s ADHD, depression, burnout...

I work with couples and individuals working through ADHD, parenting, relationship troubles, postpartum, depression, anxiety, stress, career, trauma, and more.
Accepting new clients - Are you feeling weighed down by trauma, anxiety, depression, anger, or relationship challenges? You may also be navigating the complexities of racial identity, cultural expectations, or the emotional toll of being a BIPOC individual in spaces that don’t always feel safe or affirming. These experiences can deeply affect self esteem, emotional wellbeing, and relationships. Managing daily life, work, or family responsibilities while carrying this can feel exhausting and isolating, but you do not have to face it alone.

I have experience working with a wide variety of populations, including neurodivergent individuals (such as those with ADHD and autism), people living with personality disorders (including Borderline Personality Disorder), and members of the LGBTQ community.
When suffering takes over, it can feel like you’re clinging to the edge of a cliff with nothing beneath you but fear and exhaustion. In these moments, the first step we’ll take is to help you find your footing again. Once you’re on steady ground, we can look back together: How did you get there? What was it like to hold on for so long? And how do you want to move forward in a way that feels sustainable and meaningful? Our work together focuses both on the struggles you’re facing today and the patterns that give them shape.

People often come to therapy believing they should be coping better than they are. From the outside, their lives may look well-managed: they’re working, raising families, and meeting responsibilities, yet underneath, they’re exhausted and anxious. They overthink conversations, struggle with boundaries, or they carry an unexplained weight. If that sounds familiar, you’re exactly the kind of person I work with.
I previously practised medicine, which taught me that emotional struggles rarely stay confined to our thoughts. Stress, burnout, and anxiety show up in our bodies and relationships, quietly shaping our decisions and our lives.

Most are unaware of the ways our hormones, trauma and ADHD intersect, and too often we are poorly supported.
I offer support for individuals with a wide range of needs however; I provide focused supports for women dealing with Perimenopause, Menopause, PMS and PMDD, ADHD, trauma, as well as Functional Neurological Disorder. My hope is to help support you in identifying the life you want to live and collaboratively targeting interventions and supports to create it.

You lie in bed at 1am searching the symptoms of ADHD in women in incognito mode, because at home mental health is just an "excuse".
Hi, I'm Danya, a Palestinian Canadian who came to this work after spending years supporting women from many different cultures through trauma, identity work, and complicated families of origin. Nothing you bring into this room will be too much for it. I work best with people who look fine on paper and are quietly tired of it - but can't quite admit it yet.

When should I seek treatment for ADHD?
You should seek treatment for ADHD if you consistently have difficulty with attention, hyperactivity, or impulsivity that interferes with your daily life. Symptoms of ADHD include the inability to sustain attention during tasks, difficulty organizing tasks and activities, being easily distracted, frequent fidgeting or squirming, and talking or interrupting excessively. If these symptoms interfere with your career, academics, or relationships—for example, consistently failing to complete professional projects on time—you should seek an evaluation for ADHD.
How does treatment for ADHD work?
Effective treatment for ADHD often consists of medication, behavioral therapy, and lifestyle changes. Stimulant medications such as Adderall and Ritalin work by altering levels of neurotransmitters in the brain; higher levels of dopamine and norepinephrine are known to improve attention and focus. Therapy works by helping people with ADHD understand the condition, discuss their areas of difficulty, and develop behavioral strategies to manage their symptoms. In some cases, modifying one’s diet and exercise can also help improve symptoms.
Are there specific medications for ADHD?
Medications to treat ADHD are generally stimulants, the most common are Adderall and Ritalin. There are two categories of stimulants: Amphetamines include Adderall, Dyanavel, Vyvanse, and Dexedrine, and methylphenidates include Ritalin, Concerta, Daytrana, Focalin, Quillichew, Quillivant, and Metadate. Non-stimulants and antidepressants may be used as an alternative if stimulants aren’t effective or viable for a particular patient.
How long does treatment for ADHD take?
It’s tough to give an exact time frame because everyone varies. In terms of medications, stimulants begin to work very soon after you take them, generally within the hour. It may take time to identify the right medication and dosage, but the medication itself is fast-acting. In terms of therapy, it takes time to develop skills and put them into practice, but you will likely see improvements within a few weeks or months.
