Muslim Therapists in Burnaby, BC

Peace be on you dear readers. I really congratulate you for taking the first step: looking for a counsellor. Seeking counselling is a sign of strength. It means that you want to see changes in your life. You may be dealing with depression, anxiety, panic attack, and or relationship issues or you may need to talk to someone who will not judge you. I believe everyone has ability to solve their own problems, however, sometimes overwhelming situation makes us stuck in one point and hinder us to go forward. In those days we need someone listen to us, hold our hands and to go through our difficult times. I am here for you.

You’ve probably spent a lot of time trying to fix things on your own, but maybe you’ve reached a point of exhaustion. You might be feeling overwhelmed, self-critical, & alone. You don’t know what else you can do to make yourself feel better, or how to keep up with the challenges you’re facing. Maybe there are cultural & social challenges that are making your situation worse. Maybe you're tired of running around in circles & have made the decision to see a counsellor so you don’t continue to feel like you’re “going crazy”.

I came into this field by accident, but after realizing the importance of relationships I stayed. My background is in working with youth, and families, aiming to meet you where you are at in your journey. Having experienced culture-clash myself, I know how hard it can be to find wellness and belonging when incongruence exists at home. Clients of all demographics are welcome.

I work with couples stuck in fighting, withdrawal & disconnection, who feel alone, unheard & misunderstood in their relationship no matter what they do to make it work. I’ve helped many who have struggled with depression, anxiety & trauma, and I can help you, too. You can wake up without feeling numb & empty, and you can stop worrying what could go wrong. You'll go about your day without being triggered by past traumas and actually have something to look forward to and enjoy. We can work in English or Arabic - with an Egyptian flavor!

Do you feel emotionally exhausted trying to figure out your life, career and relationships? Are you overwhelmed by anxiety, obsession and panic attacks?

Parenting is one of the most fulfilling yet challenging jobs that one can have- and it does not have to be done alone. I a firm believer of accessing your " people" so that you and your child can feel a sense of support and well-being. If you are here, you are considering someone to be part of your support system and I would be honoured to be one of your "people."

Do you find yourself stuck? Not knowing where to go, or even how you got to where you are? Or is it the opposite? You know exactly what you want in life, it's just not working? I recognize that each person approaches life transitions & change with a unique set of values, beliefs, and past experiences. It’s also true that each person's experience is different, and can come with a variety of thoughts, feelings, and consequences that vary from person to person. My priority as your counsellor will be to create a safe space where you can explore your options, figure out how to chart your future course, and build the life you want.

I am a registered clinical counsellor & a certified clinical trauma professional with an immense passion to assist people in re-discovering their strengths and re-building their identities post-adversity, trauma & loss.

Dealing with all these symptoms on a daily basis can affect various areas of your life and take you away from living a life that is internally rich, grounded and fulfilling. My goal is to create a non-judgmental, open & warm space for you to meet your core self and instill joy and hope again within you.
