Thanks for showing up. That takes courage. If not now, when? Opening up about your deepest emotions to someone you don’t know can feel uncomfortable. But if you’ve been bottling up your feelings and avoiding them, ask yourself – how’s that working? I don’t claim to have all the answers or to be able to “fix” what you’re going through, but I do promise to listen and provide a warm, supportive space where you can share what’s on your heart.

Therapy can be a helpful way to work through those parts of life where we feel alone, held back, powerless, in pain, or silenced. At the centre of my approach to therapy is the belief that there is wisdom in your experience. I will invite you to open into that wisdom to help you better navigate your life. I believe in working with you to develop goals, and approaches to those goals, that fit your life. Through deepening understanding and facilitating emotional processing, my intention is to help you thrive in your life with self-compassion, flexibility, and confidence.

A caring couples therapist & psychotherapist (SouthAsian/Canadian), with a blended understanding of psychology & relationships. I listen deeply & hope to make you feel seen.

Accepting new clients. Adults. Trauma-informed, EMDR-informed. I am registered therapist and someone who works very carefully and respectfully with people's inner experiences. Many of the adults I work with carry significant responsibilities in their careers and relationships while feeling overwhelmed by overthinking, hyper-responsibility, attachment anxiety, or lingering effects of earlier relational experiences. These patterns can shape emotional reactions and nervous system responses in ways that feel difficult to manage or fully understand.

In your romantic relationship, you feel like you carry the emotional load. This pattern might look like over-extending yourself, people-pleasing, tiptoeing around conflict, or feeling responsible for managing your partner’s emotions, leaving you feeling emotionally drained. You try hard to fix disconnection and want to feel understood, seen, and validated, but end up feeling unheard and alone. Minimizing your feelings is starting to feel like self-abandonment. Whether you're feeling disconnected from your partner, struggling to find the right one, experiencing newlywed challenges, or a painful breakup, you don’t have to do it alone.

Sometimes we have a profound sense that the way we have been moving through our lives doesn't fit anymore. This realization can be coupled with anxiety, depression, aggression, sleeplessness, repetitive actions or thoughts, and feelings of isolation or fragmentation. It is hard to find yourself in this place, and even harder to know where to turn. Realizing something isn't quite right is the first step----talking to someone is the next. I offer a 'no fee' 1 hour Introductory Session so that you can see if I am the right therapist for you. I work with Individuals and Couples age 18 and up.

In a time of so much illness, injustice, and natural, social and political upheaval, how do you find meaning in life, and in your life? Can you create meaning out of the unwanted, the new, the unknown in your life and in these times? Or do you face all too familiar patterns: recent or long-term health issues or diagnoses; employment challenges; family conflict; the effects of trauma, dislocation, isolation; identity issues; life transitions, aging, end of life, loss or bereavement? Are you providing care for others through your work or for your own family? What is the story of your life, and what can you now make of it?

You look like you have it together. On the outside, you’re capable, responsible, the one people rely on. You anticipate problems before they happen. You get things done. On the inside, you’re exhausted in a way that sleep doesn’t fix. You can’t turn your brain off. You second-guess yourself constantly. You feel like you have to stay one step ahead in case everything falls apart — because if you don’t hold it together, who will? Or maybe your relationship has been shaken by betrayal, and now you’re asking, “How did we get here?”

Many people come to therapy carrying the weight of trauma, abuse, anxiety, relationship issues, low self-esteem, attachment wounds or emotions that simply never had space to heal. You might feel trapped in the same patterns, wanting change but not knowing where to start. Together, we’ll slow down and look beneath the surface to understand what your mind and body are trying to communicate. As we make sense of your story with compassion, change can begin.

Sometimes we have experiences in life that entirely overwhelm our ability to cope, that leave us feeling powerless, dejected and alone. It can feel frustrating, isolating and even unsafe trying to work through these experiences on your own. If you are struggling to understand and cope with the trauma you’ve lived through, I can help. I have extensive experience working with individuals to create change and reach resolution in their lives, particularly when it comes to experiences of trauma and abuse. My approach is compassionate, person-centred and non-judgmental and I hope to support you in making meaningful change.

I understand how difficult it is to be true to our faith in a secular world. Navigating these challenges can seem so daunting at times, but there is a solution. I believe in a holistic approach to healing, where mental, physical, and spiritual well-being are all addressed. I work with individuals, particularly from the Muslim community, who are struggling with challenges that profoundly affect their personal and spiritual lives. These challenges might include addictions, such as pornography or sexual addiction, which have not only impacted their relationships but have also created a sense of disconnection from their faith.

I am an understanding and genuine therapist who actually cares. I will see your best qualities, and I will never let go of the hope that things can be better. We would decide how to do therapy together. If you want to focus on how your life could be different we can talk about options and goals. We can improve your day to day coping by talking about your thoughts and feelings, or we can look more at your past experiences. I am accepting and flexible. There is lightness in dark and tense places. I have seen that in 5.5 years of mental health and addictions support. I also have seen how everyone has a unique way forward.
