Relationships are hard. When things aren't going well, there's nothing more difficult than trying to deal with another person, especially someone you love. It can leave you feeling overwhelmed, confused, heartbroken and alone. It can get you questioning everything you ever thought was real about your relationship and wonder how you'll ever get things right side up again. Don't give up. I know it's not easy, but it can get better.

Does this sound like you? You're a highly sensitive person and or empath. Maybe you're the Type A, overachieving type who has a hard time truly saying what you mean or setting boundaries with the people in your life. You're passionate about personal growth, willing to "do the work" - maybe you've even been to therapy before. For you, maybe it shows up as anxiety or ADHD, maybe it's a difficult relationship with your mom or dad, a history of childhood trauma, difficulty breaking bad habits, workplace stress/burnout, procrastination, difficulty in your romantic relationship, or a sense of worthlessness you just can't seem to heal

You might be someone who understands difficult experiences intellectually but still feels their impact in your body—the constant vigilance, the shutdown, the exhaustion of managing everyone else's emotions.
You're deeply self-aware and reflective, but stuck in patterns that feel hard to shift. You may be looking for approaches beyond talk therapy alone, wanting to address what feels unresolved at a nervous system level. Not simply coping strategies, but wanting to feel safer in your body and relationships, access feelings without overwhelm, feel genuinely at home in yourself, and create a life that reflects who you actually are.

Hi, I’m Sana, an Immigrant and a Woman of Color. I provide therapy to adults navigating anxiety, low mood, relationship challenges, identity exploration, trauma, and stress.
If you often find yourself caught in non-stop racing thoughts you can’t quiet down, feeling a sense of emptiness, you can’t quite explain, or noticing that major life changes have shaken your sense of self, identity, and relationships, you’re not alone. You don’t have to figure it all out on your own.

Are you struggling to find balance in your daily life challenges? I work with individuals and couples that may be experiencing emotional dysregulation, irregular feelings or feelings of insignificance in their lives or relationships. If you're experiencing difficulty with impulse control, overwhelming sadness or having difficulty processing grief or life transitions, you aren't alone. I understand the isolation of feeling dysregulated and trapped without the ability to express intense thoughts and feelings.

Looking for a therapist can feel overwhelming. Whether this is your first time starting therapy or have tried counselling before and want something different, you don’t have to navigate it alone. You may be coping with anxiety, grief, stress, burnout, or a life transition. Parenting challenges, relationship or family issues, self-esteem concerns, or the unique experiences of ADHD or ASD can also take a toll. These struggles can leave you feeling drained and uncertain about the future. Or, you might be tired of acting fine when, in truth, you’re not. Here, you’ll find a safe, compassionate space to process what you’re going through.

As humans it is easy to feel overwhelmed by our thoughts and emotions and manage their impact on our relationships and reaching life goals. Making sense of life and feeling more balanced is possible when working with a therapist you feel connected and comfortable with. My therapy approach is grounded in the values of acceptance, compassion, authenticity, and collaboration.
