For the past few years, I’ve had the pleasure of helping individuals improve their mental health through goal-focused collaboration. You may be going through a time in your life right now which is leaving you feeling unhappy, or stuck in a cycle you don't know how to break.

Hi, my name is Misha. From a trauma survivor to a Certified Trauma Therapist, I created Lotus Garden Counselling to provide a holistic and culturally informed quality of mental health support that cultivates growth, empowerment, and connection. I specialize in treating complex post-traumatic stress (C-PTSD) as result of childhood, relational, sexual, or vicarious trauma. From anxiety, anger, addiction, challenges in your relationships or difficulty with day to day tasks, I can help you develop attainable goals with actionable strategies to create harmony in your inner, and outer, worlds.

As a bi-cultural, Egyptian, Arab, first-generation immigrant woman, I draw on my lived experience and understand that it takes courage to seek the vulnerable experience of therapy. This encourages me to listen with empathy, collaboratively looking with you for ways to heal. While it is challenging to look inwards, by understanding our experience we can begin to deepen our connection to ourselves. I see therapy as a vehicle for transformation on a non linear, non judgmental path.

When we are struggling to manage life challenges, our ability to cope can become strained. Such stressors can affect our thoughts, feelings, and behaviors in unhealthy ways. They can also show up as frustration, irritability, and/or anger. Exploring relevant past experiences, with skillful therapeutic interventions, I support individuals, couples, and families to understand what is happening for them in the present. Believing that the client is the expert in their lives, I also help people to develop care plans intended to challenge unhelpful ways of functioning in their world while restoring feelings of happiness and hopefulness.
