Eclectic Therapists in Ottawa, ON

Hello there! Do you find yourself feeling tired, uninspired, disconnected from others, often feeling worried about anything or everything? Or perhaps you notice yourself turning to substance use to manage tough feelings? If you recognize yourself as living any of these experiences, you aren’t alone, and you definitely don’t have to go through it alone.

Every story finds its beginning amidst the ongoing narrative of life, where our realities are shaped by our diverse experiences. Our upbringing, relationships, work, and education not only shape who we are but also influence the individuals we evolve into. Central to our understanding are the memories and moments of our childhood, serving as the foundation upon which our realities are built and providing us with the lens through which we perceive the world. Furthermore, our cultural background, early attachments, and environment contribute to refining and fortifying this lens, nurturing resilience, or fostering vulnerability.

I have 24 years of experience working with a diverse clientele. I specialize in working with anyone who is going through a major life transition and is in need of support . I welcome activists, artists, sexual, racial and cultural minorities and anyone who is struggling to find their own way through major changes in themselves, their relationships or their work. Therapy helps people uncover and express their needs and process their emotions in a safe environment. Long time patterns and beliefs can be looked at in a compassionate way and new choices can be made that better support one's life and relationships.

We all go through challenging times in our lives. Many of us decide to seek counselling when we feel stuck, unsure how to move forward in a relationship with a spouse, child, sibling, or parent; or a colleague or co-worker. At these times, we can be anxious, depressed, angry, easily irritated, or simply depleted. Intense feelings or responses are often a sign that something important needs to be addressed.

Hello I am a welcoming, attentive clinician with a natural knack for relationship building. I earned my Master's degree in Counselling from Oakland University (Michigan) in 2013 and have been a Registered Psychotherapist in Ontario since 2016, as well as a Member of the Ontario Society of Registered Psychotherapists. I have over eight years of experience counselling individuals from predominantly person-centered and narrative approaches with specific focus placed on developing treatment to fit each client's unique needs and personality. I am confident working with anxiety, depression, trauma, emotional effects of chronic pain,

You're a woman in your 20's or 30's who needs a therapist who "gets" your ADHD brain. You've tried therapy before, but felt like you were just talking about your problems - you need somebody who will help you actually PROCESS what's going on, not just listen. You need somebody who can hold you accountable to making real change in your life, and call you on your shit. You've tried all the things - meditation, journaling, breathwork, medication, positive thinking, you've watched all the therapy tiktoks but you're still stuck. You have felt this way for a while and are not only ready, but are fully committed to making real change

I believe that therapy is like building a warm and safe sanctuary together. A therapeutic space is one where we can comfortably be ourselves and process our past and present lives. Drawing from my South Asian and Muslim background, I bring an integrative and culturally sensitive approach to healing, rooted in trauma-informed practices. My aim is to provide you with a safe and non-judgemental space to share your life story and work collaboratively to discover or rediscover your values and meaning in life. Picture yourself as the driver, steering your life's journey, with me as your passenger.

Are you experiencing obstacles in your life that are preventing you from feeling fulfilled, content and at peace? Are you looking for a safe, non-judgmental space to share your struggles? Are you looking to share these experiences with a trustworthy, accomplished and experienced therapist? I can help.

The counselling process is similar to carefully peeling back the layers of an onion. You need to feel safe and in control as the layers of your story are revealed. Together, we uncover deeper parts of the self that may be hidden from conscious thought ... old scripts and tapes that are still playing today and causing you pain and anxiety. You can change your life by bringing these old patterns and voices into the light of day for examination. My work is to support, guide, and challenge you so you can empower yourself to deal with past issues and present concerns.

It is possible to find resilience and meaningful new paths - even with difficulties such as anxious or depressed feelings, crises with relationship, LGBTQIA2S+ issues, and coming to terms with aging, loss, and grief. I care that women find ways to go out into the world to fulfill themselves, that being queer is defined by the story of self, and that those who are older continue to explore self-growth and self-development.

My heart is dedicated to supporting individuals like you in their journey towards healing and growth across Ontario virtually. My areas of focus include anxiety, self-esteem, ADHD, disordered eating, and trauma. I'm deeply committed to creating an inclusive space for everyone, particularly members of the BIPOC, 2SLGBTQ+, and neurodivergent communities. Whether your struggles surround overthinking, perfectionism, boundary setting, self-criticism, completing tasks, body image, trust issues, emotional dysregulation, managing triggers, and more - I want to be here alongside you to work towards what hope and change looks like for you.

I originate from a Northern Ontario community but have been happily settled in the Ottawa area for over 20 years. I am a bilingual (fluent in French and English), Social Worker and it has been my great pleasure to work in the field of mental health social work with Children, Youth and Adults since 2006. I believe that everyone runs into challenges in their life that they shouldn't be expected to resolve alone and I am happy to be there to guide them on their road to recovery. Lets work together to re-establish fulfillment in your life.

I am currently accepting new clients for in-person or virtual therapy. Maybe you have been thinking about starting therapy but are worried it won't help.

If you are feeling overwhelmed, frustrated or just tired of the negative soundtrack in your head, let's talk. It is time to start enjoying life, improving your relationships, and taking action toward your goals.

I offer confidential counselling and I believe in a client-centred approach. I am specialized in the field of memory studies, being interested in how identity is shaped, what are the paths of mental care and how to come to terms with anger, grief and depression.

I have worked cross-culturally with clients with a range of issues including stress, anxiety, depression, relationship issues, and many other psychological problems.

Different therapeutic techniques and approaches used are tailored according to my clients' needs and preference in order to help my clients understand themselves, manage their emotions, and improve their quality of life.

People I work with are often seeking help for feelings of overwhelm or emotional pain and stress. Some are managing anxiety or depression, while others are healing from past trauma or looking for tools to build resilience and personal growth. The path toward holistic well-being is something we can walk together. I focus on helping you build internal safety and restore the wellness that is your birthright, using diverse approaches, including mindfulness and hypnotherapy. Together, we'll open doors to new possibilities for healing and growth. In our sessions, we'll work together to make your life tangibly better.
