Registered Psychotherapist (Qualifying)

Session Format: Virtual therapy sessions (video or phone)

Language(s): English

Ages Served: Teens and Adults

Who I Work With

I support individuals facing a variety of challenges, such as:

• Anxiety, stress, overwhelm, or burnout

• Depression, sadness, or loss of motivation

• Chronic illness, pain, and health-related challenges

• Life transitions, immigration, or cultural displacement

• Relationship challenges, loneliness, or self-esteem concerns

My Approach to Therapy

My style is client-centered, flexible, and evidence-based. I tailor therapy to your unique needs and goals, drawing from approaches such as:

• Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) for shifting unhelpful thought patterns

• Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT) for emotional regulation and balance

• Somatic-based strategies to reconnect mind and body and manage stress

Together, we’ll create a space where you feel heard and supported. Therapy may involve exploring patterns, developing coping strategies, or reconnecting with strengths and parts of yourself that may feel unheard. My goal is to help you feel more grounded, clear, and empowered.

A Bit About Me

Living in Trinidad and Tobago, Turks and Caicos, the United States, Canada, and Qatar has shaped who I am today. These experiences have given me a deep appreciation for diversity and for the many ways culture and environment can shape people, their values, and how they move through the world. It also sparked my love for travel, and I hope to visit many more places.

Outside of work, I prioritize spending time with my loved ones. I enjoy exploring philosophy, playing the piano, and trying to lead an active and healthy lifestyle.

Ages Served: Teens & Adults

I grew up in a close-knit Newfoundland community where storytelling, connection, and looking out for one another were simply part of everyday life. Those early experiences continue to shape how I show up as a therapist today, grounded, relational, and deeply attentive to the stories people carry with them.

Before entering the counselling field, I spent many years working in education, supporting children, youth, families, and colleagues through periods of growth, stress, and change. That work taught me that behaviour and emotions rarely exist in isolation; they are shaped by relationships, environments, and lived experiences. It also reinforced how powerful it can be to feel truly heard and understood.

In my work with clients, I aim to create a calm, supportive, and ethically grounded space where you can slow down, reflect, and bring what feels heavy without pressure to have everything figured out.

Whether you’re experiencing immediate distress or navigating long-standing challenges, my approach is collaborative and person-centred, guided by curiosity, compassion, and respect for your pace.

I believe healing and growth happen through connection, meaning-making, and developing a deeper understanding of yourself and your patterns, while remaining mindful of how personal histories, community, and cultural context shape our experiences. I strive to honour these influences by walking alongside you with empathy, respect, and cultural awareness.

I focus on supporting individuals as they navigate stress, anxiety, burnout, life transitions, and the emotional impact of school, work, or caregiving roles. Together, we’ll move at a pace that feels right for you and focus on what feels most important.

I draw from evidence-informed approaches that include:

• Person-Centered Therapy, where your voice, story, and lived experience guide the work

• Relational and strengths-based approaches that focus on building safety, connection, and empowerment

• Solution-focused strategies that support practical next steps and present-day coping

• Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), which helps you notice and shift unhelpful thinking and behaviour patterns.

Outside of therapy, I value time spent outdoors, being in nature, reading a good book, and engaging in creative pursuits like sewing. These moments of grounding and creativity mirror what I encourage in therapy: finding steadiness, curiosity, and care in everyday life.

If you’re looking for a therapist who offers a steady presence, values relationship and reflection, and understands the importance of community and story, I would be honoured to work alongside you.

Who I Work With

I support adults navigating challenges such as:

• Family conflict and intergenerational stress

• Workplace stress, burnout, or organizational change

• Grief and loss, including caregiving-related grief

• Relationship tension, emotional invalidation, and boundary challenges

• Low self-worth, withdrawal, or difficulty expressing needs

My Approach to Therapy

I provide a safe, supportive space where you can feel heard and validated. My approach is trauma-informed, relational, and culturally sensitive. Depending on your needs, I may draw from a range of therapeutic modalities, including:

• Psychodynamic Therapy – exploring unconscious patterns and family dynamics that shape current experiences

• Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) – building practical strategies to manage stress, low mood, and negative thought cycles

• Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT) – deepening awareness of emotional patterns and fostering healthier relational bonds

• Existential Therapy – exploring meaning, identity, and personal values in times of change or uncertainty

Together, we may focus on:

• Reducing stress from family and work dynamics

• Exploring grief, caregiving stress, and unresolved family patterns

• Strengthening resilience, emotional regulation, and self-worth

• Developing healthier coping strategies beyond suppression or withdrawal

• Building boundaries and practicing clearer expression of needs

A Bit About Me

As an immigrant who has lived in both collectivist and individualist cultures, I bring a deep appreciation for the ways identity, family, and culture shape our lives. These experiences allow me to approach therapy with openness, cultural sensitivity, and respect for diverse values and stories.

Welcome, I’m glad you’re here

I’m a Registered Psychotherapists (Qualifying) and MA in Counselling Psychology student under clinical supervision, I offer a warm, compassionate, and non-judgmental space for you to explore your emotions, thoughts, and life experiences. Whether you’re navigating anxiety, relationship challenges, low self-worth, or feeling stuck in old patterns, I’m here to support you at your own pace.

Therapy, to me, is a collaborative journey. I won’t tell you what to do or who to be instead, we’ll work together to make sense of your inner world and build tools for healing, connection, and clarity.

My Approach

I draw from a variety of evidence-based approaches depending on what best fits your needs, including:

• Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT)
• Psychodynamic Therapy
• Supportive Talk Therapy
• Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT)
• Solution Focused Based Therapy (SFBT)

While I incorporate theory and structure, my sessions are grounded in empathy, presence, and curiosity. I pay close attention to the meanings you’ve made of your experiences and the stories you carry, especially those shaped by culture, relationships, and identity. Together, we can gently challenge what no longer serves you and nurture more helpful ways of relating to yourself and others.

Who I Work With

I work with adults and youth (16+) of diverse backgrounds and identities, including those navigating:

• Anxiety and emotional overwhelm

• Relationship difficulties and communication issues

• Cultural identity and adjustment

• Life transitions

• Self-esteem and perfectionism

• Betrayal trauma and interpersonal wounds

As a Palestinian-Canadian therapist who has lived in multiple countries, I bring an appreciation for complexity, displacement, and the silent griefs that can come with change, family, and belonging. My practice is inclusive, anti-oppressive, and culturally attuned.
