For anyone out there who feels like they are failing at “having it all,” I’m here to break it to you. You haven’t failed. Attaining perfection in our lives is a myth, and it’s holding so many of us back from the happiness we deserve. Especially in this modern day and age, we are flooded with highlight reels of what our lives should be. While most of us would admit that no one’s life can be picture perfect 24/7, many of us still stretch ourselves too thin to “do it all” to gain acceptance from society. The truth is this... It is almost impossible to have a picture perfect life without serious consequences to your wellbeing!

I believe that no one is immune to life's challenges and variabilities. Hopelessness, anxiety, fear, and other negative emotions can become overwhelming, affecting our overall wellness, leaving us exhausted. I help my clients overcome these difficult emotions by providing a non-judgmental, affirming and safe environment that respects boundaries and offers the space they require for their healing process.

As a queer, Trini-Canadian woman , I combine my knowledge of psychology with my intersectional feminist values and lived experiences when supporting my clients. I specialize in working with LGBTQ and BIPOC (racialized) clients as well as intersectional identities.

You enjoy being in control of your circumstances, confident in the decisions you are making, and clear about where you are headed. However, there are times when you feel overwhelmed and uncertain. At these times you struggle to make changes and move forward. It is important to have a safe place to talk about your feelings, work through your fears, and gain some understanding and clarity. I believe no one knows you better than YOU do. It is my privilege to work with you as you journey through the process of self-discovery. I have experienced many changes in my life that have allowed a deeper understanding of the human experience.

I am a Toronto-based registered social worker, psychotherapist, and founder of Saleemeh Wellness Centre for Women . I completed my education at the University of Toronto where I obtained a Bachelor of Science degree, Majoring in Psychology, and Master and Doctoral degrees in Social Work. I have over 27 years of professional social work experience, primarily in mental health. My main area of interest has always been the intersection of immigration and mental health, with a particular focus on the impacts of political, structural, psychosocial issues on trauma and mental health of immigrant, refugee, racialized women .

I understand the feeling of struggling to exist as your genuine self in a world that feels against you, in an environment that feels suffocating, and in a relationship that feels unendurable. Our lives do not exist in a bubble, and our experiences are impacted by the intersecting identities each of us hold. When we reach out for help, we are hoping that someone can understand us and hold space for our stories. I work with people every day who are looking for support in understanding how they can live congruently with their own values and core beliefs.

I believe therapy is about supporting your innate strengths and wisdom.

I specialize in supporting folks struggling with anxiety, perfectionism, self discovery, inner criticism, inadequacy, inattention, and difficult transitions (career, school, relationships). We'll discuss your goals, reconnect with your values, and explore ways to move through life's difficulties so you can do more of what matters to you.

**Accepting New Clients, Free 30-Minute Consultations Available** Hi!

If you choose to work with me I will strive to create a safe, respectful and meaningful relationship with you. I will listen carefully, with empathy and without judgement.

Feelings such as anxiety, anger, depression and isolation often subside as well.
