Hi! My name is Sanam and I am a registered psychologist. I am a therapist who values getting to know people and their worlds. I appreciate the courage and vulnerability that comes in reaching out for support. I work with teens and adults and focus on self-esteem, building confidence, managing anxiety and low mood. I am an inclusive therapist and want to find the most helpful, supportive ways to support the clients I serve.

I am a doctoral psychologist and have worked with a range of clients across medical, psychiatric, and counselling settings. I work with grief, change, and loss, cancer, trauma, existential issues (e.g. purpose), palliative care/end-of-life distress, depression, anxiety, life transitions, psychospiritual development, and psychedelic integration. My approach is integrative, though I primarily draw from existential, Jungian/psychodynamic, and integral/transpersonal psychotherapies. In addition to standard one-on-one therapy, I offer psychedelic-assisted therapy. For details, see edgarpsychological.com/ketamine-assisted-psychotherapy.

I have over 15 years of experience in individual, couple, group and family counselling and have worked with all age groups and with many different mental health issues and challenges. However, I see everyone as completely unique and needing their own particular co-created path to healing.

I am here to offer couples and Individuals my guidance into what we are beyond the psychological structures and past traumas.

Dreams symbolically describe both our individuating struggles and the authentic way to effect lasting change in the interest of our wholeness. But consciousness of dream content is not accomplished alone or without an analyst's capacity to recognize your particular psyche's unconscious objectivity. Carl Jung said, 'One does not become enlightened by imagining figures of light, but by making the darkness conscious.' I welcome a companioned exploration where the flow of your life has been interrupted--a pivotal moment that challenges our usual ways of coping. Yet, this is precisely when conscious transformation is made possible.

I offer decades of relevant experience and expertise to clients who are in the midst of a life changing transition and/or existential dilemma. My approach entails creating a safe, open, engaging relational space and then acting as a catalytic companion by using strategic questions to probe and coax the client to the discoveries and adaptations that will make a difference for them. Once the client's stress states, emotional concerns and confused thinking have been calmed and clarified, my aim is to identify and build upon their signature strengths so that they can fully realize their potentials and capacities.
