I work with clients who are experiencing:

• Settlement/immigration related issues

• Cross-cultural communication issues

• Life transition and adjustment challenges

• Spiritual issues

• Anxiety and depression

• Relationship difficulties

• Emotional regulation difficulties

• Race related trauma and Islamophobia

• Post-traumatic stress

• Shame and honour

​

Populations I work with include:

• Preteens, teens

• Individual adults

​

My philosophy is understanding the whole individual ─ cognition, psyche/sense of self, heart, soul ─ and therefore, my approach explores all of these levels of experience. Although different challenges require different tools, I will explore impacts and solutions from a holistic lens with you.

​

Overall I use an eclectic approach but I gravitate towards the following modalities:

• Internal family systems

• Narrative

• Cognitive behavioural

• Emotion-focused

• Acceptance and commitment

• Relational

• Person-centered/positive

• Trauma-informed

• Anti-oppressive

• Gottman method

• Faith-based/transpersonal

• Islamic integrated (for those identifying)

​

I have an Honours Bachelor of Science degree (double major in Psychology and English) from the University of Toronto and a Masters of Social Work from the University of Windsor. I am currently working toward my Master of Fine Arts.

​

I have additional training in Islamic integrated psychotherapy, internal family systems therapy, and narrative therapy. I am currently working toward certification in the Gottman approach to couples counselling.
