Muslim Therapists in Brampton, ON

Immigrating to Canada at a young age, I am keenly aware of the struggle to learn a new language and fit-in, in a new culture. Life transitions are hard. Our brains are wired for normalcy and routine - that is what we perceive as safe. When we are forced outside our comfort zones (whether willingly or not), the adjustment period can be overwhelming. If you would like someone to walk alongside you with this transition, it would be my honour. As a Muslim, and woman of colour, I began my journey as a therapist to provide more representation in the field, so people like you and I can work with therapists who understand.

As being a Muslim woman, mother, and first generation Canadian, I found it’s difficult to navigate through too many roles and responsibilities that lead us towards facing many mental health issues of anxiety, depression, stress, and low self esteem, at times. I can help you with navigating through these challenges, staying focused, engaged, working towards and achieving your life goals as well as in attaining an authentic self. I have graduated in Masters of Arts in Counselling Psychology, qualified to provide virtual counselling and psychotherapy under the supervision of an approved supervisor.

Sometimes we just can't do it on our own. Whether you have individual, couple, or family challenges, as a professional or first responder, life is so much more fulfilling when we can reach out for support to get through the rough patch.

If you're ready for a life change, we can help! Many of our clients have reached out to us for support and as a result have restored happiness & improved their quality of life.

Life is full of challenges, stresses and pain, as well as joy, love and serenity. If you're feeling weighed down by anxiety, depression, stress, or navigating life transitions, know that you're not alone. Healing happens in the presence of a safe and supportive person or community. As a Registered Psychotherapist (Qualifying), I offer you a warm, non-judgemental, safe and empathetic space where you can explore your thoughts, emotions, and experiences, and find the support you need to move towards your therapeutic goals.

We will work together to first understand how your thoughts, feelings and previous life experiences impact the way you currently engage the world.

Each individual's journey includes small and large traumas that impact them non-consciously throughout life. The traumas, or wounds, affect their thoughts, emotions, physical body and approach to life. They manifest most profoundly in behavioural issues, personality issues, mood disorders and anxiety. So one of the best ways to heal from these issues is to understand and re-process the trauma that led to them. I believe that that's where deep healing lies.

Connecting with the right therapist to explore your needs is essential, and the relationship you develop is the most crucial aspect of therapy. I strive to offer you a safe, supportive, positive space to work through your challenges, understand your concerns and help you overcome the obstacles that come your way.
