Making the decision to begin therapy often comes after a person has experienced challenges in their lives that have left them feeling disconnected and doubting their own self-worth. It is a courageous act to choose therapy and I look forward to working with you on your journey of self-discovery and empowerment. It is a great privilege to do this very important work with you. As a therapist, I am committed to creating a space where you feel fully supported in the work. I utilize an anti-oppressive framework in my therapeutic work.

In a culture focused on image and beauty, it is completely natural that we manifest shame, guilt, and anxiety in our body and food behaviours. If this sounds like you, you are not alone. Disordered eating, eating disorders, and body dysmorphia, may have been coping strategies to handle deeper-rooted issues-- they have acted as a means of control and comfort, when maybe you felt like you had none. The purpose of my practice is to foster sustainable emotional growth-- this means a relationship with your body and food that encourages self-worth, value, and connection.

Are you having trouble being the best version of yourself? Tired of everyone telling you what to do. Do you know that there is an answer but you just can't put your finger on it? As a Christian therapist together we can find out who you are created to be.

Some people have been dealt a difficult hand in life which can make pushing forward seem impossible. Challenges like anxiety, depression, stress, trauma, and relational issues can be hard to navigate alone. I believe each person has the ability and skill to be able to help themselves. It's my role to help support people in that process. My job is not to “fix”, but to guide and assist you with becoming your best self. I work with both individuals and couples of various ages and backgrounds and have learned much about the strength and resilience of the people I have worked with.

We are relational. Thoughts occur as a series of associations, linking up, creating a narrative. The same can be said of memories. When and what is remembered occurs in the context of our current experience, linking past memories and future desires through the present. Therapy is an exploration of your relation to yourself, others and the world. An exploration facilitated through a therapeutic relationship. So, what is it that has gotten you to this point in your life? I am interested in finding out, and committed to helping you gain a greater sense of freedom from limiting beliefs, and finding more purpose in your life.

I seek to help clients heal old wounds in order to show up in their lives and their relationships as their true Self. I use a mix of therapy modalities, grounded in a holistic, empowering, non-judgmental and trauma-informed approach. During the 10 years I spent working as a corporate lawyer, I experienced firsthand how external pressures can drown out our inner guidance and needs, leading to feelings of 'stuckness', dissatisfaction, and resentment. When we over-emphasize productivity and external success, it's often at the cost of our own nourishment and well-being, leaving most of us in a chronic state of anxiety and stress.

I've spent years not only working as an entrepreneur, but working with entrepreneurs and driven people. I understand that although the chase is exciting, it can be exhausting, lonely and feel endless. In a study conducted by Dr. Freeman of UC in San Francisco, 72% of the surveyed entrepreneurs reported mental health concerns. Let's work together so you don't have to be "that bad" or join that stat. I help you manage your life so you can better manage your work.

Accepting clients! Having been in counselling myself, I know what a relief it is to find someone with whom you feel comfortable to help sort out some of the stressors and troubles of everyday life. Perhaps you would like to chat about a number of issues that are piling up and you don’t know what to do. Or, maybe something really big has happened and you feel overwhelmed and like nothing in your life will ever be the same again. No matter what your concern, I'm driven to help you reach a life of peace and to no longer feel victimized by your struggles.

Waitlist for new clients
I am passionate about helping people find their authentic selves, to live fuller, more meaningful and flourishing lives- the lives they were born to live. Fostered and continually growing through my own introspective explorations, I help clients of most issues and needs examine their lives with a mindful awareness of their outlived tendencies. I help clients strengthen their emotional intelligence to understand themselves and others better and perceive why we do what we do; and I invite clients toward a disposition of openness and intrigue needed for eliciting empowering change.

Navigating family life, sport, and academics plunged me into challenges that felt debilitating at the time. These experiences and the people I met along the way made me fall in love with our shared capacity for growth. Humans (even when we’re not aware of it!) have immense resilience. It is my goal to help you tap into yours and levy your unique strengths to cope with whichever challenge you currently face. Please note, I have lived experience with generalized anxiety, depression, Binge Eating Disorder, and exercise bulimia.

Having spent numerous years abroad, I have garnered a profound appreciation for diverse worldviews, a perspective that significantly informs my practice. As a Palestinian-Canadian, I am deeply passionate about guiding individuals through the delicate dance of straddling two cultures. I believe that embracing this duality can lead to profound personal growth and empowerment. I primarily support clients from cultured backgrounds with navigating identity, family dynamics, and symptoms of anxiety.
