I offer Spirituality and faith based-counselling (Sikhism, Hinduism, Buddhism, Christianity, Judaism, & Islam) as well as multi-cultural and language-based counselling (Persian/Farsi/Dari, Urdu, Hindi, & Hazaragi).
It is my belief that therapy should feel kind, understanding, and authentic. I strive to establish a safe environment where a client’s trust can be earned. I have been working in the mental health field for more than a decade and have been awarded for my work in domestic violence and terms of service. I believe in an equal egalitarian relationship in therapy; however, I do not shy away from directive and skill-training-based therapy for clients who want to become the best version of themselves, because sometimes, we just do not know how.

In therapy, I take the approach that all experiences, both internal and external, can create opportunity for growth, fulfillment and greater meaning.

I have over 20 years experience helping people accomplish their goals in regards to mental wellness. I help individuals, couples and families using research based methods and can incorporate faith/ spirituality into treatment if requested. I find treatment plans and interventions are best when they are tailored to match client’s individual needs. Since a strong therapeutic relationship is key, I help clients explore strengths while empowering them to work towards growth and outcomes. Although our past can influence our present, it does not dictate the future.

I work with individuals and couples who seek to improve their mental health and relationships. I work with individuals, who experienced trauma, struggling with anxiety, and/ or seeking meaning to life events. My unique life experience exposed me to different cultures and ways of living, which included the Middle East, Europe, and North America. I believe that relationships, mental health, and behaviors are better understood when body, mind, and context are examined simultaneously. I work with my clients to navigate through their experiences, including their spirituality, to create helpful meanings in their lives.

I have been a registered psychologist for nearly 40 years. I have been part of the healing journeys for individuals of all ages (child to seniors), couples and families. I don't know if I have an ideal client other than someone who is open to sharing the story of their life and developing resiliency in some way. With children and youth, they have a special place given their vulnerability and yet wonderful creativity.

Spirituality Counsellors
What should I expect from therapy that incorporates a focus on spirituality?
Spirituality can mean different things to different individuals, depending on their experiences, beliefs, and life histories. Some individuals focus on strengthening their belief system, while others experience spirituality in secular ways, such as through meditation, yoga, or by spending time in nature. Clients can expect a therapist to help guide and grow their spirituality through any of these techniques, encouraging the individual to cope with the challenges they face and develop strategies to build resilience and purpose to improve their outlook in life.
What are the most common treatments that include spirituality?
There are several treatments that incorporate spirituality. Mindfulness-based cognitive therapy (MBCT) helps a person examine and reframe their negative thoughts and behaviours. Acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT) focuses on emotional acceptance and psychological flexibility. Existential therapy is most often used to address anxiety, depression, grief, loneliness, apathy, despair, questions of identity, and feelings of purposelessness and existential dread. Transpersonal therapy focuses on a client’s spirituality and meaning in life and may incorporate techniques including meditation, visualisation, hypnotherapy, dream analysis, and or breathwork.
Can therapy incorporating spirituality help atheistic or agnostic individuals?
Yes. For non-believers, spirituality can offer benefits including a greater sense of connection to others and to the natural world. An interest in spirituality may also spur individuals to pursue mindfulness practices, or to contemplate their purpose in life and how to achieve it.
How effective is spirituality as a therapeutic remedy?
Research suggests spirituality is generally beneficial for individuals. It is correlated with better health habits, such as less substance use, and an improved capacity to cope with stress and other mental health challenges. Increased spirituality can lead individuals to become more empathic and less materialistic, as well.
