I help
women
to uncover barriers and achieve sustainable growth so that they can thrive and build a life that reflects their values and beliefs.
Are you feeling stuck? Living on auto-pilot? Are you struggling in your peer/family and/or romantic relationships? Or maybe you feel isolated in your role as a mother, student or professional. I want you to know that you are not alone and I am here to help. I am deeply committed to helping
women
overcome barriers, increase their self-awareness and step into the fullness of who they are. With over 10 years of clinical experience working with individuals and families, I utilize evidence-based practices to address issues such as anxiety, stress, relationship issues, self-esteem, ethnic identity and work-life balance.

Accepting clients in JUNE. Finding the right therapist and committing to psychotherapy isn't easy. If you’re ready to develop insight, self-compassion, and skills, l'm ready to use humour, energy, and warmth to supplement principles from cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT), dialectical behaviour therapy (DBT), mindfulness, and other methods to customize an approach. I work with
women
16+ in many stressful circumstances. We target concerns like moods, anxiety, perfectionism, self image, and much more. I am also particularly interested in the new research on recovery from trauma and loss, and find myself drawn to that area of need.

We all need a safe space, and a person to hear, and understand us. I believe that we can tackle problems more effectively when we can discuss them openly and honestly. It’s my role to facilitate that conversation and create the pathway towards your preferred ways of living.

I am fluent in Arabic and have worked extensively with Muslim families and specifically
women
.
We all have a unique journey that adds value to who we are and how we can contribute every day. My personal journey took me down some challenging paths that required me to find new hope and build from the ground up. I feel that the hardships, challenges and triumphs I have endured can inspire and bring hope to others. I believe that through the toughest times of our lives, there is always a silver lining.

But now, I am in the perfect position to help
women
in their mid-twenties to forties break out of this harmful cycle.
It can feel like our minds are constantly “turned on”. We might find ourselves worrying and becoming self-critical about mistakes we’ve made. As well, our minds might be churning out all kinds of possible scenarios, trying to figure things out. This can lead to feelings of anxiousness or self-doubt. I’m here to help people experiencing this. I want to help them be okay with who they are! When we learn to accept ourselves, it brings ease to life and allows us to move forward and get what we want out of life.

Registered Psychotherapist, MDiv, RP

I have special interest and experience supporting
women
through trauma and abuse, others with issues of self-acceptance, relationship difficulties, cross cultural adjustment and the impacts of working in aid and development, as well as issues of faith, spirituality (including religious trauma), and supporting those surviving through grief and loss.
Are you looking for a safe space to share your story and reflect on what you want for your future? Do you wish for freedom from fear, and increasing joy in your life? I have needed these very things at different times in my own life, and the courage it takes to reach out has been worth it every time. With specialized training in CBT for anxiety I work from an anti-oppressive framework, using a strengths-based, individually tailored approach to each client’s experience and interest. I love working with individuals, families and youth, and I am passionate about supporting people in their desire to grow, to heal and to create change.

As I move through the world as a
woman
of colour, I come with a unique perspective.
Do you feel like the world is overwhelming and that life just feels like a bit too much? Like you need someone to help you unravel the thoughts and feelings that seem to block you from doing what you'd like to do? Sometimes we need someone to help us unpack our trauma, manage the anxiety and depression, and navigate the relationships in our lives. You want to feel happier, more calm, less stressed and overwhelmed. Does that sound like you? It can feel scary to reach out for therapy and to start that process. If you've never done it before, let me know, I'm happy to talk you through what it looks like and what you can expect.

women
in family court.
I believe that the most challenging times can become the motivation to making positive changes in your life. If you are struggling with worry, stress, parenting challenges, divorce, relationship issues, codependency, loss or grief, you are not alone. I provide a supportive, non-judgemental and safe space, meeting you where you are in your life and your relationships with the focus on developing greater self-awareness, understanding of your emotions, learning coping skills, and improving your relationships with others and yourself. When you are ready to reach out, I am here to listen and support you to achieve your goals.

***Currently offering Phone and Online Video sessions. If you are a Front Line Worker go to https://covid19therapists.com/ for Free Therapy over the Phone.*** When we feel overwhelmed, resentful, anxious, or unhappy, our emotions are telling us that something isn't right. Usually that is because we have started making decisions that are intended to protect us from feeling pain that we have felt before, pain that was too much too bare. When we discover what these patterns in our behaviour or relationships are, and what the pain or fear is that is underneath them, it can open up space for joy, creativity, and peace.

Do you feel like you're stuck in a negative loop? Continuously going in circles and trying to find a way out? Painful experiences can make us feel stuck; living life as a version of yourself that you no longer recognize. These experiences are overwhelming and do not always make sense. Feelings of anxiety, fear, anger, guilt, and shame can sometimes leave us feeling hopeless; like there is no way to return to the life you once knew. You may find yourself repeating the same patterns in hopes things will improve. Please know, you are not alone in feeling this way, and change is possible.

Suffering is a part of life. It is something we all have in common, yet can feel so alone and isolated in. It can present in many ways, whether it been through depression, anxiety, anger, and it can impact many areas of our lives such as activities of daily living, our ability to function socially and cognitively, and our adaptability to stress. For some, being resilient in the face of struggle comes naturally whereas for others, this is something we must actively work towards. Through the therapeutic process, I strive to help you to uncover your own resiliency and inner strength to persevere in the face of struggle.

Feeling overwhelmed, slowed down, hopeless or alone? Well you are not alone. My role is to walk with you down the path of self-understanding, acceptance and fulfillment. My goal is to help you take control back over your life and empower you to move forward down the path you want to create for yourself.

As a therapist, it is not my place to pass judgment but rather support clients on their journey to understanding how deeply their experiences have impacted their mental, physical, emotional and spiritual wellbeing. This path is not easy nor linear, but it is best traversed with the guidance of an unbiased and empathetic professional by one’s side in a safe therapeutic space. I value empowering and motivating others to meet their goals as I demonstrate the acceptance, genuineness, congruent and unconditional positive regard that I believe they are capable of showing themselves.

Good counselling starts with a safe and caring environment created by the therapist. I am a counsellor that creates a respectful place for you to learn new skills and explore ways new methods to think different and solve lifes challenges, followed by feeling better. There is no reason to continue to suffer from unwanted anxiety or depression. Or from a problem that seems too larger to tackle. Small steps add up, the first is search help.

Only recently have we as a society become aware of the importance of taking the time to work on our mental health. Like physical health, improving your emotional health can take many forms. Similar to a personal trainer at the gym, you may choose to start (or continue) your journey to improve your mental health and relationships with a Clinical Therapist. I work with couples, parents, families, and individuals to improve communication and coping strategies. It may seem impossible to find your way in the darkest moments, but with the right, non-judgmental support and guidance, it is never too late to find and shine your inner light.
