My work is informed not only by clinical training, but also by lived experience. I am an immigrant and a survivor of war, and I have engaged extensively in my own trauma-focused therapeutic work. This dual perspective allows me to understand, with depth and discernment, the psychological impact of conflict, displacement, and prolonged survival states.
Many individuals I work with are highly capable and resilient—often strong, responsible, and outwardly composed—yet internally burdened by unresolved trauma, emotional fatigue, or entrenched relational patterns shaped by survival.

I have been practising as a psychologist and specializing in couple and family therapy since 1995. What I find most fulfilling in my practice is helping individuals and couples create more safety and connection in their relationships by gaining a deeper understanding of themselves and how they relate to one another. Because one approach does not work with all couples, I have made it a point to be well versed in a variety of different approaches and techniques in order to tailor my work to the couple's specific needs.

Parenting Counsellors
What does therapy for parenting look like?
Therapists may work with parents individually, together, or include the whole family to find solutions for the problems a parent faces. Many parent-based therapies work on a parent’s relationship with their children, problem-solving within the family, and analysis of family dynamics. Therapy conducted remotely by video may be helpful in allowing a therapist to observe how families interact in their own homes.
When should a parent seek therapy?
When behavioral problems begin to disrupt the healthy functioning of a family, it may be a good time to look into therapy. If parents find that children are acting out in school, have started using drugs or alcohol, have developed eating disorders, or other similar red flags, a therapist may be able to help.
How long does therapy take for parenting problems?
Depending on the severity of a family’s challenges and the type of treatment utilized, therapy for parenting can last from weeks to months. Cognitive behavioral therapy is a pragmatic therapy type that can be brief, most often ranging from between 5 and 20 sessions. Structural family therapy, which inspects family dynamics, often takes several months. Parent-child interaction therapy is typically shorter-term, lasting between 10 and 20 sessions. For any therapy, the duration will depend on the progress made and results realized.
Can therapy help parents dealing with burnout or stress?
Parenting is difficult. Parents may dismiss or conceal feelings of exhaustion, overwhelm, or escape ideation—imagining withdrawing from their parental obligations altogether. but left unattended, these feelings can have negative effects on the whole family. A therapist can help parents work on the skills they might need to better cope with the burdens of parenting and help them be the best parents they can be.
