As a therapist, this quote speaks volumes as I do believe that great change comes from working through the daily struggles that we experience: "The lotus is the most beautiful flower, whose petals open one by one.

Nowadays, amidst the COVID-19 pandemic, many of us are leaning on spiritual healers to attend to our mental health needs and more. While there is a lot of potential in alternative medicine, the chances of falling into the hands of the wrong healers where re-trauma occurs or even abuse, I offer Baraka Divine Healing as a corrective measure. Since 2013 after years of research and working with other consciousness experts worldwide, I developed Baraka Heart Activation. Inspired by my healing journey, I offer a safe and loving space much like a "mother's womb," hearkening the Arabic word Arahman (Ultimate Mercy) one of Allah's 99 names.

Sometimes life is difficult, there are times it is challenging and unmanageable and because of this, Psychotherapy can be unlimited support at times of crisis or difficulty in our lives (e.g. stress, relationship break-up, abuse issues, trauma, death and dying, grief, bereavement, work issues).

Many people spend vast amounts of time and money getting an education, obtaining a driver’s license, planning a wedding, or achieving their dream job, but few people are willing to spend the same amount of time and money investing in understanding themselves, knowing their values, and determining how to choose a partner who is a good match for them. By educating ourselves about who we are and what we really want in our lives, we increase the possibility of living happier lives.

Accepting new supervision clients in September ................................................ Life is a journey - and sometimes the path is rocky. Having a helping hand can make the difference between giving up and moving on in both personal life and professional practice. For over 24 years I have helped many people move toward growth, emotional healing and joy. If you struggle with inexplicable anxiety, sadness or confusion, feel trapped in a life that doesn’t seem to suit you anymore or have lost sight of what brings you joy and energy, you may benefit from having a mirror that allows you to rediscover who you really are.

It takes courage to initiate therapy but investing in your well-being is one of the greatest gifts you can give to yourself. Whether you are seeking to learn strategies to cope with life's ups and downs, tools to manage challenging emotions, or support with difficult life events, it is my privledge to be here for you. While I possess a variety of tools to support you, I believe people are the experts in their own lives and therefore, therapy must be a collaborative process. I work together with you, so you can feel heard, understood, and ultimately empowered to cope and resolve the issues that brought you to counselling.

My theory of change is founded on the premise that healing and growth can emerge through nurturing interpersonal connections. I stand by the belief that we are relational beings, meaning that our interactions with others influence our mood, sense of self, and well-being. Through sessions, whether I work with you or your relationship, I facilitate dynamic interventions to create new bonding moments that foster cognitive awareness, emotional regulation, and behavioural changes. As a therapist, my goal is to help you shift from a place of reactiveness and hopelessness to a place of communication and connection.

Feeling anxious, depressed, stressed-out, or just plain stuck? It is difficult to imagine any person at any age or stage of life who has not felt the impact of Covid. It has affected us not just as individuals, but also our family relationships, work lives, school lives, social lives and our ability to participate in the community. Social isolation and stress are major factors in depression and anxiety, and the rates of these have skyrocketed since the onset of Covid. Chronic stress, anxiety and trauma can lead to negative ways of coping, hurting ourselves and our relationships. Time to reinvent ourselves, create positive changes?
