I have been working with mood related conditions (anxiety, depression, bipolar, obsessive and compulsive thoughts and behaviours, impulsivity) since 2018. I specialize in identity related issues including but not exclusively gender and transitioning related difficulties. The context of my specializing studies have been family and couple related difficulties including cultural and religion related and romantic and intimate relationship dynamics including infidelity and attachment. Even though I am not an expert on trauma (immigration related, war, assault, bullying, ...) traumatic experiences have often been part of my work.

I believe that when we are supported and cared for, we can truly thrive. My goal as a clinical social worker is to help people engage in healing and repair, with themselves and others, regardless of their experience or background. I work primarily with adults and couples, with a particular interest in challenges related to 2SLGBTQ+ identity and experiences with grief, communication, depression, and interpersonal conflict. I look forward to embarking on this journey with you with warmth, connection and curiosity!

I am a warm Social Worker, who understands that life can be very difficult and overwhelming at times. I am dedicated to helping clients to successfully face, manage, and overcome these very real difficulties. I also support clients in building stronger and more useful coping strategies to deal with the difficult situations and elements of life that cannot be changed or controlled. I help clients to identify and set meaningful goals and to hold clients accountable for their development and for making progress toward their goals. In this way, I help clients to achieve greater balance, resilience, peace, and success in their lives.

Feeling lost and alone in anxiety or depression? I'm here to guide you with understanding and support. Together, we'll navigate towards healing and hope.

People often seek therapy when they would like to work on issues such as stress management, personal loss or life cycle changes. In individual therapy, I support clients by providing specific strategies for changing unwanted behaviours or thoughts. A couple in distress may feel there is no way out of their troubled relationship. By observing the interactions between the partners I help couples change dysfunctional behaviours, strengthen friendship, increase intimacy, resolve problematic patterns of communication, improve emotional attachment, build resilience and enjoyment that each partner derives from the relationship.

Some people say life is too short, but to others, it feels excessively long. Over time, we collect a series of traumas and difficulties, and these experiences can shape our inner narrative and impact our mental health. Your life journey is unique and you know your story best, which is why collaboration is an essential part of my practice. Together, we'll establish realistic goals that will improve your wellbeing and that will foster healing. Specializing in adult and adolescent therapy, I offer client-centred and trauma-informed support for a variety of challenges, with a focus on anxiety, depression, and eating disorders.

I work with individuals and couples who seek to improve their mental health and relationships. I work with individuals, who experienced trauma, struggling with anxiety, and/ or seeking meaning to life events. My unique life experience exposed me to different cultures and ways of living, which included the Middle East, Europe, and North America. I believe that relationships, mental health, and behaviors are better understood when body, mind, and context are examined simultaneously. I work with my clients to navigate through their experiences, including their spirituality, to create helpful meanings in their lives.

Welcome! I work with career-minded people who struggle with Adult ADHD, Anxiety (Generalized, Social, Panic) , and Depression. Many clients are in high-pressure or creative fields, and feel they could be doing better, but struggle to get there on their own. I strive to create a warm, collaborative space where you can explore concerns and learn tools to cope. I also work with couples who feel stuck, trapped, and frustrated with how things are going and have a desire to make things better. I feel fortunate to have worked in many settings that uplift 2SLGBTQ+ and BIPOC populations.
