I believe..

I believe that, as humans, we are faced with unexpected changes and challenging situations. During these difficult times, a counselling relationship that is based on empathy and genuineness can aid in one’s journey to make a positive change in life. Counselling aims to provide us with a space where we are empowered to navigate our way through chaotic circumstances and cope with struggles.

How we perceive life events is crucial to how we make decisions and our ability to heal. We might face times when we are unable to make sense of everything around us and develop a sense of feeling stuck in a situation. And although it might not be easy, we can work through this together.

My approach

I believe in meeting clients where they are and tailoring therapy to meet the unique needs of each individual. When considering possibilities for growth, I value your freedom to make choices aligned with your values and beliefs.

 In our work together, I use curiosity and insight to understand your worldview. Together we can explore your life story, better understand your experiences, and reflect on your thoughts and emotions. I will collaborate with you to figure out how you derive meaning and purpose in life. I also use self-awareness and reflection to aid your progress toward the version of yourself you find most desirable.

My Background

Before entering my practicum, I supported adults with various forms of disabilities going through higher education for four years. I have experience working with individuals going through challenging experiences or struggling with depression and anxiety. I have an undergraduate degree in Psychology and am working on my Master’s of Counseling. I would be honoured to work alongside you.

Influenced by Middle Eastern Philosophies,  I believe that we don't see the world as fragmented objects, but rather We see the world through a story. And because action can not be separated from perception, we act out a story. People seek therapy to discover where they are in the story and how to move forward. As a result, in my approach, I work with you to uncover the reasons for how you perceive things and identify the patterns of the story you are acting out.
