Do you feel like your mind and body are working against you? Trauma and anxiety can often feel like you are at odds with yourself and the world around you. I can assist you to cultivate a foundation of calm, peace and stability so we can work on transformational healing and a deep and loving connection with yourself. I am a grassroots feminist, culturally responsive therapist. I approach my work from an integrative and relational perspective. As an Arab woman, I work within a decolonizing, anti-oppression framework.

Do you ever find yourself reacting to situations in ways you regret or making decisions that don’t align with who you are? That’s where knowing yourself better can make a world of difference. Self-awareness is the foundation for better emotional control, stronger relationships, and personal growth. I believe that when you truly know yourself—your emotions, triggers, values, and desires—you unlock the potential to make meaningful changes that can positively impact all areas of your life. If you're struggling with depression, anxiety, burnout, low self-worth, low self-confidence or relationship issues, self-knowledge can change that.

As a psychologist, I work with change. Change may involve shifts in awareness, attitude, behaviour, goals, acceptance, or coping strategies that will enhance your quality of life and well-being. Many obstacles can prevent us from living a satisfying life. These could be a history of trauma, invalidating relationships, habits that no longer serve us, or environments that may hinder our psychological growth. I can help you identify obstacles to your quality of life, develop strategies to tackle them, and set goals to increase and maintain your well-being.

Weiss).I'm passionate about my work and will work to help you tackle life's challenges that fit your lifestyle and goals for therapeutic change.

Everyone deserves support and encouragement to realize their strengths and work towards a meaningful life. Life gets overwhelming, and when you're feeling down, exhausted, and stressed out, you may feel less motivated to do the things you enjoy. You may also feel disconnected, both from yourself, and others in your life. If you're feeling this way, it probably brought you here. I know how difficult it is to reach out for support, so I hope you can take a moment to acknowledge and appreciate that you are taking this first step. I can't wait to speak with you more and see if we are a good fit. I offer complimentary consultations.

Life can be tricky to navigate at the best of times, and we can quickly feel as though we’re in over our heads. Sometimes we need somebody to walk alongside us, bear witness to our struggle, and offer a safe space to explore what we really need to start living the life that embodies our values.
