It is not uncommon to feel disconnected from the people you love and trust when life turns upside down. When we experience turmoil or when thoughts become cyclical, it’s nearly impossible to live authentically or to even know what authentic is in that moment. It can feel like a roller coaster that you aren’t sure how to disembark or as if you’re living in a body that isn’t yours. We might experience the hurt alone but we don’t have to manage it alone. Allow me to be your ally, your confidante, your listener.

I believe that every client is unique and therapy therefore is not "one size fits all". This means that I am an eclectic therapist, that draws upon several evidence-based approaches to help my clients meet their unique needs. I particularly enjoy working with approaches such as Acceptance & Commitment, Internal Family Systems, Cognitive-Behavioural, Attachment-based, and Narrative approaches. I specialize in treating clients who may be struggling with persistent, intrusive "sticky" thoughts as commonly associated with OCD and anxiety through Exposure and Response Prevention Therapy (ERP) and mindfulness approaches.

We all have our own unique challenges and experiences, and sometimes we may find that we could use some additional support to help navigate a path forward. These challenges may result in experiences such as low mood, overthinking, trouble sleeping or difficulty managing our emotions. Alternatively, these experiences may be contributing to the challenges we are facing, preventing us from living the way we want to. Whatever your experience or challenge is, if you are unhappy or uncomfortable, we can work through it together to find out what may work in your unique circumstances.

You’re not crazy. Even though you’re labeled as difficult or sensitive. You may have grown up in a home with volatile emotions and you are the only one who apologizes. It feels like a never-ending loop; You’re doing the work and still getting stuck. You may have been told to “cut off your family” due to the intergenerational abuse, but that option does not feel right. I know that feeling. My parents moved to Canada in hopes of a better life after surviving the war in Bangladesh. They taught me to redirect and stuff down my own anger, fear, and frustration. Keeping the peace with others, caused a conflict within myself.

Every individual I have the opportunity to meet carries with them a collection of unique experiences, thoughts, beliefs, values and goals. As humans, we all have periods in our lives when we think, “things are not how they should or ought to be” and this may lead us to a place where we may not be feeling like ourselves. I genuinely believe that you, as a client, are the expert at your own life, but sometimes, even experts can use a little fine tuning- this is one of the functions of therapy! I promise to provide you with the highest quality service that it tailored to your specific needs.

Are you a 25-35 year old, type-A, high-achieving, anxiety prone human with diagnosed or suspected ADHD, a strained relationship with your mom, who people pleases and can never turn their brain off? You've been told you're "too sensitive" or "too much" or "too needy", and you learned to shut your emotions down just to function in this busy society. You're on an emotional rollercoaster, and you've TRIED to feel better: meditation, self-help, breathwork, exercise, therapy tiktoks and journaling...but nothing seems to stick for long. You're really ready and eager to make a change in your mental health, even if nothing else has worked.
