I support clients by providing a place to sort through and process all that feels overwhelming and difficult to manage alone. Together we will explore the places where you may feel stuck, held back, confused, frustrated or disconnected. I specialize in working with depression, anxiety, self-esteem, trauma and PTSD, addiction, life transitions, grief and loss, family conflict and relationship issues. Together we will identify the barriers that limit you, shift negative thoughts, feelings and patterns, process old wounds and deepen your understanding of how you connect with yourself, others and the world around you.

I feel it is essential to build a strong therapeutic relationship with each client right from the start to ensure a safe and comfortable space to share, heal and grow. I believe in the importance of working collaboratively with each person; establishing goals and working together to decide on a plan to achieve these goals. I like to facilitate the development of self-awareness and the ability to recognize the connections within different areas of our lives.

Have you noticed that you are not enjoying life like you use to? Whether that be in the bedroom, in your relationship, or in your day-to-day interactions. You may feel overwhelmed, hopeless, or down. You may feel like you are not good enough, or you’re not doing enough to keep your romantic relationship afloat. Overall, you just feel that something is not quite right, but are not sure what to do about it.

I strive to work from a place that is gentle, curious, and when appropriate sprinkled with some humour. I offer a space where you can be yourself and unwind from the stressors in your life. We'll team up to identify what kinds of things are impacting your day to day and how to best address them. I'll support you in figuring out how to improve your relationship with yourself and others in order to heal and grow. As a neuroqueer therapist, my approach is person centred, anti-oppressive, and trauma informed. I am affirming of all different kinds of identities, perspectives, spiritual and religious beliefs, and lifestyles.

Like many people, you may feel lost and suffer from struggles relating to your sense of identity; you may struggle to maintain a romantic relationship or friendships or manage work relationships. You may be trying to break cycles of addiction, acting out impulsively and feeling at the mercy of overwhelming and unpredictable emotions. I am experienced in helping people shift their existing patterns, to help them to better understand themselves and their feelings and make them more manageable. I understand that you are an individual who requires a treatment that is made to fit you and your unique experiences and characteristics.

Nowadays, amidst the COVID-19 pandemic, many of us are leaning on spiritual healers to attend to our mental health needs and more. While there is a lot of potential in alternative medicine, the chances of falling into the hands of the wrong healers where re-trauma occurs or even abuse, I offer Baraka Divine Healing as a corrective measure. Since 2013 after years of research and working with other consciousness experts worldwide, I developed Baraka Heart Activation. Inspired by my healing journey, I offer a safe and loving space much like a "mother's womb," hearkening the Arabic word Arahman (Ultimate Mercy) one of Allah's 99 names.

As my mentors have helped me in my life, and as they have guided me through difficult points of self-growth and reflection, I have come to learn the value of being there for others to progress through our own difficult times. We need each other. I do believe it is far less problematic to overcome challenges with guidance and direction. Even more so when that guidance is refined through education, experience, and a standardized expectation of practice. I am capable of direct billing for ICBC and CVAP and can be accepted through other insurance agencies (i.e. Sunlife, BlueCross, GreenShield)

As we go through life, many times we may find ourselves stuck, lost, overwhelmed, challenged or just exhausted. We might need to discover ourselves again or change our way of life and let go of what no longer works for us. I work with people from different ranges of issues and cultures. Working with clients going through general anxiety, might limit my clients from achieving their goals to dealing with past trauma and its functions in their adult life. Each is on a different path with a unique blend of emotions and beliefs.

I believe that each one of us is fighting our own battles, and that's why it is so important to listen and truly understand how someone else might be feeling. I also believe that conversation and feeling connected can help kickstart a journey towards personal healing and can give us that agency for possibilities, possibilities we want to see happen for ourselves. We are our experiences but we can also grow from them to see ourselves evolve into something that aligns with our hopes and wishes. Whether it is deep conversations and connection or validation of what you have been through or maybe a game plan for future goals, I can help.
