Muslim Therapists in West Toronto, Toronto, ON

Hello and welcome! I am a queer mixed Arab Palestinian and white settler with Muslim and Jewish roots. I have a background in community-based and social justice oriented work, and have been practicing psychotherapy since 2020. I primarily work with folks navigating legacies of complex trauma, including patterned relational struggles. I also support folks experiencing food, body, and self image struggles through trauma informed, harm reductionist, fat positive, anti diet frameworks. More and more I support those navigating non-monogamy, as well as those exploring gender identity and transition.

As a therapist, my goal is to help you to navigate through the difficult situations, life changes and events. Together, we can focus on skills that foster resiliency in the face of inevitable life challenges and stressors. I have several years of experience working with teens and adults dealing with anxiety, depression, grief, relationship issues, substance use and other mental health concerns. I appreciate the complexities and challenges that life has to offer especially from a cultural and racial lens.

I specialize in assisting adults who are facing challenges with emotional regulation and intense emotions while adapting to new challenges. My primary goal is to help my clients develop a deeper understanding of their emotions and behaviors, fostering self-acceptance and compassion. I strive to create a safe and supportive environment where we can openly discuss difficult emotions and explore effective ways to express and manage them. My areas of expertise encompass a wide range of concerns, including anger, depression, relationship and identity issues, as well as self-esteem.

With extensive experience working with university and college students, emerging adults, members of marginalized communities, diverse newcomers, and coaching executives, I offer you a trained ear. Client issues include feeling stuck, mood issues, mind on overdrive, and managing transitions. Let us find ways to not only survive but also thrive in all areas of your life (school, career, community, family and so on). Clients can expect to develop acceptance, change behaviours, and use strengths to improve well-being.

Are you grappling with difficult emotions like depression or anxiety? Or maybe you're a highly sensitive person (HSP) who is seeking deeper understanding of intense emotions and experiences? Or you're looking to understand and recover from childhood experiences. If this sounds like you, starting therapy can be a transformative step. I would be honoured to guide you through this journey, helping you manage and make sense of your emotions, fostering self-discovery, and supporting your path to healing. I offer a safe and empathetic space for individuals to explore their unique stories through a holistic, trauma-informed lens.

In order to feel safe and in control, you may have learned certain survival and coping strategies to keep you grounded. Perhaps you are a child of immigrants, struggling to exist between two cultures. Or maybe you were afraid to disappoint others and taught yourself to never have any needs or boundaries. These behaviours, while understandable, may no longer serve you in the ways that you need. Together, we can explore and unpack your life experiences, offer understanding and validation to the shutdown parts of you, and learn to take up space and exist in our world. Psychotherapy can promote healing, resiliency and self-empowerment

One of the many things I can appreciate about our society is how people come from different walks of life - we all have a story. These stories, or worldviews, are what shape our personalities and how we perceive and overcome the various obstacles that life may throw at us. I also understand how beginning therapy can be daunting, so I provide a validating and non-judgemental environment with the goal of making clients as comfortable as possible. Helping clients explore their emotions and navigate any problems they may have, together, has always been a passion of mine.

Are you struggling with anxiety, depression, & are stuck in one place in life? When you're used to living in a state of chronic stress, feeling calm feels unfamiliar.

Regulating your nervous system & living a meaningful life can be a difficult journey but one that's worth exploring so you can live a self-sufficient life.
