I believe healing begins when we feel genuinely seen, understood, and given the space to make sense of what we are carrying.

My path to becoming a psychotherapist grew from my background as an artist, educator, and art therapist, as well as my own experiences navigating significant life and health changes. These experiences deepened my appreciation for resilience, acceptance, and the importance of having a space where we do not always have to be strong or carry everything alone.

As a therapist, I bring warmth, curiosity, and compassion into our work together. I believe therapy is not one-size-fits-all. At times, our sessions may be practical and focused on managing anxiety, regulating emotions, navigating relationships, or building healthier boundaries. At other times, we may explore deeper experiences related to trauma, identity, self-worth, grief, or patterns that continue to shape your life.

As a Registered Canadian Art Therapist and student of Traditional Islamic arts, creativity is an important part of my approach. When helpful, art therapy can offer another way to explore experiences that may be difficult to put into words - you do not need to be an artist to benefit from it. My faith has also shaped the therapist I have become. Islam has been a source of grounding, meaning, and acceptance during uncertainty in my own life.

For clients who wish to incorporate faith into therapy, Islamic perspectives can be thoughtfully woven into our work. Your individual cultural, spiritual, and personal values will always guide the process. Above all, I hope to offer a space where you can show up as you are.

Together, we can better understand what you are carrying and work toward greater clarity, self-compassion, and resilience - one step at a time, Insha’Allah.
