Welcome! I'm a queer Arab therapist and I provide therapy to teens 13+ and adults from all walks of life. I can offer you a safe space for every part of you as an individual or as a couple. I'm especially passionate about working with the LGBTQ+ population, individuals struggling with OCD and phobias, and neurodivergent folks. The most important aspect of therapy for me is building strong therapeutic relationships. We are humans helping humans through hardships, so I prioritize building a trustworthy, authentic, and warm foundation for you to feel comfortable in those vulnerable moments.

Do strong emotions and memories impact how you live? Unresolved trauma and chronic stress can create negative thoughts and feelings and negatively impact our overall well-being. We may experience anxiety/depression, addiction, chronic stress, etc. Coping mechanisms may become ineffective or even harmful over time. Are you new to therapy - or have been to therapy before - call to discuss how trauma therapy may help.

Many of us have periods in life when we need support to cope with life and/or to process what has happened to us in the past. I believe that reaching out for support is a strength; it is something I have done myself and find value in. I provide a safe and caring environment to work with clients in creating goals, building coping skills and self compassion, clarifying values, identifying current and building new external and internal resources. My approach is patient and calm and I believe building rapport to be an essential building block to our work together.

Living in today’s world as a "big feeler", 2SLGBTQ+ person, ally, non-monogamous person, someone who uses substances, or someone who struggles with relationships overall, can feel exhausting and overwhelming. It can also feel hard to know who the safe supports are (the ones who won’t judge your experience or push you to embrace normative frameworks). You might be seeking support with trauma, anxiety, anger, self criticism, boundaries, emotional dysregulation, loneliness, or feeling othered. Whatever your experiences are, I wholeheartedly get that you have been trying your best so far. Are you ready to try something different?

Welcome! I am a queer and gender expansive therapist, offering individual online therapy across most Canadian jurisdictions. I offer a contextualizing, self-compassionate, and strengths based approach. While life's hardships will never disappear, I can help you come to more peace and aliveness within yourself. I offer a warm, non-judgmental space to be seen, heard, and grow within. Therapy is kind of like detangling a big ball of yarn; it can be both hard yet relieving (you're not broken, just tangled!), and ultimately allows room for more consciousness/choice to flow in: now that your threads are free, what would you like to weave?

I work with clients ages 16 and up, online and in-person. I welcome your whole self in our sessions, including intersectional identities, contradictions, uncertainty, and tender feelings. I also welcome people who are hesitant about seeing a counsellor, or who’ve had difficult experiences accessing mental health support in the past. My aim is for our sessions to be an empowering experience for you. My practice is influenced by creativity and the arts, and I seek to accompany people in healing according to their own values, and through experiences of dignity and possibility.

Stress can impact the whole person and trauma can turn one’s world upside down. Sexual and physical assault, combat, medical traumas or serious accidents are all examples of traumatic events that can cause an array of distressing symptoms. Anxiety, depression, flashbacks, nightmares along with nausea, and chronic fatigue are common and can wreak havoc on relationships. Sometimes feelings of horror, anger, sadness can seem to come out of nowhere making people feel like they are going “crazy.” But they are not. These are symptoms of trauma, and specialized evidence base treatment can help.

We can begin by discovering what matters most to you. Even in profound loss, or trauma, it is possible to come to a place of growth and change. Meaningful change can emerge in relation to how we feel toward ourselves, our physical being, and in our interactions with others. The journey starts with creative discovery and self-compassion.

Starting therapy with someone new can be tough. Finding the right therapist for you can be even tougher.

If you want a safer, inclusive, non-judgmental person to offer some support with your challenges and goals, I'd love to meet you.

Do strong emotions and intense memories impact how you live? Sometimes the past seems to become the present, despite our best efforts. Traumatic experiences and chronic stress can create negative thoughts and feelings that can interfere with daily functioning and overall well-being. Coping mechanisms are often developed to manage these distressing experiences, although they may become ineffective or even harmful over time. Addiction (substance/behavioural), anxiety/depression, etc., and other concerns can arise as a result of unresolved trauma. New to therapy? Tried other types of therapy? Call today for a consult.

Maybe you struggle with constant guilt, anxiety, feeling disconnected, struggling with ADHD, your job, parenting, balancing all your responsibilities, or just not knowing what you want. Perhaps you struggle with not feeling good enough, or you often find yourself putting everyone else’s needs first- even if it comes at the expense of your needs being compromised. You might find it hard to accept help, rest, or ask for what you want due to fears of inadequacy, rejection, or guilt. These patterns may be lifelong or recent. Either way, I’m here to help. You don’t have to figure this out alone—it's too much for one person to carry.
