• About Me

  I believe that therapy is relational and should be shaped by connection, warmth, humour, and a willingness to challenge yourself just enough to grow. I walk alongside clients as they navigate anxiety, trauma, grief, and racialized experiences, always recognizing that they are the experts of their own lives. My work is informed by culture, community, and the social contexts that shape our identities.

• Approach

  I use a trauma-informed, anti-oppressive, person-centered framework and draw from:

  • Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT)

  • Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT)

  • ACT (Acceptance & Commitment Therapy)

  • EFT (Emotionally Focused Therapy)

  • Narrative Therapy

  • TIIP (Traditional Islamically Integrated Psychotherapy)

  • Solution-Focused Therapy (as noted in additional context)

    Faith-based integration is available as requested.
