About Me

I am a Registered Psychotherapist (Qualifying) and Canadian Certified Counsellor (CCC) based in Ontario, Canada. I work with adults navigating grief, anxiety, depression, phobias, trauma, relationship concerns, and the impact of narcissistic abuse. I also support individuals experiencing immigration-related stress, cultural transitions, and ambiguous loss.
My clinical approach integrates EMDR therapy with trauma-informed frameworks, Internal Family Systems (IFS), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), emphasizing stabilization, parts work, cognitive restructuring, and skills-based interventions alongside adaptive memory processing.

Education & Experience

I hold a Master of Arts in Counselling Psychology, a Bachelor of Arts in Psychology, and a master's degree in Muslim Cultures. This combined clinical and cultural training strengthens my trauma-informed, culturally attuned approach to psychotherapy.
