Therapists in T6R

Are you having difficulty coping with life? Have you experienced a significant loss or life transition? Are you suffering with anxiety, depression, or relationship problems? Your thoughts and emotions may be feeling confusing or overwhelming. I strive to provide a therapeutic environment where you can feel free to express all your thoughts and feelings, even those that seem difficult and dark. We will work together to create an experience that promotes healing, change, and growth. You can move through the suffering to a richer and more rewarding life.

Counselling for Women. I know how tired you are of feeling overwhelmed, stressed and not being able to get your needs met. Imagine how life could be if you could control your emotions, ask for what you want, and not feel guilty! I help women who struggle with: relationships, setting boundaries, confidence, communicating their feelings, stress, anxiety, anger/resentment towards their parents or partners, perfectionism, negative thinking, overwhelm, and wanting approval from others. If you want to feel heard and understood, be happier, reach self acceptance, self love, have more clarity and more confidence, I can help you.

Are you a new mother? Are you struggling with the transition into having a new baby? Motherhood can be challenging and many new mothers feel alone and invisible. It can be difficult dealing with the emotions, daily tasks, exhaustion, and lack of support that comes with welcoming your baby into your life. Whether this is your first baby, or your fifth, your family dynamic changes each time, and you may feel like you just want someone to talk to about the specific challenges you face as a mother. I love working with mothers!

We desire healthy relationships and want to feel heard, understood, and accepted. We function at our best when our most important relationship is secure. Healing and hope begins here too. At Connect Psychotherapy, you will find a safe space to work on your most important issue. Together, we will identify your goals, and ways to cope and heal. I work with those who have experienced hurt in relationships; couples and families who are drifting apart, or have communication or infidelity issues, and those who are struggling to find their way back to when things were good.

I am a Registered Psychologist with several years of experience working with individuals and couples struggling with stress, depression, anger, anxiety, grief and loss, family and relationship issues, job tension, abuse, and problems with attachment. My approach is varied employing multiple approaches to therapy that are individually tailored to suit the unique needs and goals of each person or couple. I take a trauma informed approach and use a culturally sensitive perspective. I am comfortable and enjoy working with people from all walks of life and provide a safe, judgement free environment. BIPOC and LGBTQ clients are welcome.

I work with already-stable individuals who are looking for more in their lives: more peace, more freedom, more happiness, more fulfillment, more effectiveness, deeper relationships, more meaning. I work with them in any of their life contexts: home, work, family, relationships, friends, spirituality. My clients want to be even better human beings and live more fully aligned with their deepest values. They know there's a "next level" and are looking to build their capacity to get there. They want a trusted partner to assist them on this journey.

On the outside, you are a professional/executive who has everything! Yet, on the inside, you struggle with anxiety, impostor syndrome, overthinking, feeling stuck and defective. You even feel guilty and "ungrateful" for being dissatisfied with your life, and for not spending enough quality time with your loved ones. In fact, you feel lonely at times. You can tell that your work life is negatively impacted by your difficulties; your biggest fear is that one day, you will lose everything you worked so hard for, and that you will never achieve the work and personal lives, as well as the romantic relationship, you yearn for.

I have been working for more than a decade in the field of psychology and believe in a client-centered approach. In my years of counselling, I have worked with a diverse population but specialize in understanding the challenges of multicultural clients. An immigrant myself I have a profound understanding of the trials and tribulations of an immigrant in pursuit of a better life in Canada.

Life is not always easy and it can affect our psychological health and wellbeing. With the use of a client centered approach supported by evidence-based science, we can develop a plan together to help ease some of those struggles. I have extensive experience working with people from all backgrounds, ages and genders. My goal is to help my clients grow from their struggles, heal from their traumas and pain, and learn new coping strategies to move forward.

You want a LIFE more worth LIVING! Lets create that together! At all times, we are always doing the best we can with what we have: the knowledge, skills, experience and the information we posses in the moment. But, we often judge our "past" selves (and others in our past) from where we are at "today". This can create problems. With guidance, we can learn how our own (and others) past decisions, actions and experiences can create problems for us today. With understanding, we can learn to live more effectively! I invite you to join me for this journey!!

Welcome! ​My clients come to me with statements such as: "I get so frustrated and often feel like I am not myself anymore."​ "I'm overwhelmed with my child's behaviours," or "I want to talk to someone that understands the cultural factors." I am a mixed-race Iranian-Canadian Counsellor and mother who grew up in Eastern Europe. I am passionate about working with clients navigating perfectionism, burnout, anxiety, trauma, grief, loss, and parenting, specializing in helping diaspora parents. ​​I also offer couples therapy.

When you find yourself struggling to live the life you want because of depression, tension, addiction or pain, you can reach me to find a better way. When you feel that you are living one life on the outside and another on the intside, you can reach me to find ways to connect the two. When you notice that you are living according to others' expectations, you can reach me to engage your authenticity. I will support you as you heal those parts of you that are hurt and and help you re-unite with the wisdom of your inner experiences.

I'm a Registered Psychologist and have worked in a variety of settings providing clinical, community and school based therapeutic services for over 15 years. I work from a client-centered approach and believe that for change to occur there must be a genuine, non-judgemental relationship between the client and the therapist. I work collaboratively with my clients to help them gain greater awareness, insight and to ultimately create balance within their lives. I seek to empower my clients so they can build upon their own internal resources and develop better coping skills to help them deal with whatever life challenges they may face.

I am here to listen and here to help you find the solutions you need to 'thrive', not just 'survive'. I value the creation of a comfortable, secure, 'worry-free' environment where people can feel safe in working through their problems without the fear of judgement or being forced to work through issues they are not ready to address yet. I provide assistance that is tailored to your needs, gathering comprehensive information about your difficulties and considering a wide range of treatment techniques. The choice of effective treatment arises out of an honest and open collaboration between you and me.

Are you feeling overwhelmed by uncomfortable or painful emotions? Having a hard time controlling urges to act in ways that are unhelpful, ineffective, or harmful? Trying to make changes but find yourself continually falling into the same old patterns? Feeling a bit lost and looking for someone to help you sort through your thoughts? If so, you've come to the right place. I am here to help you explore the barriers that are preventing you from living your best possible life, and figure out how to change what's not working.

I believe we all have internal strengths and resources to work through life's challenges. Sometimes we lose sight of these strengths, sometimes there are gaps in our skills set, or perhaps there are blind spots in how we view a problem situation. My role is to help clients explore, discover and understand themselves and to help clients learn new skills and strategies to address the presenting concern.

I am a doctoral-level Registered Psychologist with 10 years of education and training. I specialize in working with adults and couples, and have experience with a wide range of concerns. My approach is based on creating and maintaining a calm, supportive, and safe environment in which we can work towards your goals. I believe that people have the capacity to grow and change, and the inner resources to do so. My role is to help guide clients to these inner resources, and support change that focuses on establishing more effective life strategies.

I am a Registered Psychologist with over 15 years of extensive professional training in working with a diverse range of individual, couple, and family issues from a holistic and client focused perspective. This means I tailor my work to your unique experience and concerns so that we can work together to help you become aware of different aspects of your experience and areas where you may be stuck. I believe in building a caring, genuine, and supportive therapeutic relationship where you can feel safe to explore your concerns and together we can work towards helping you live a more fulfilling life.
