Welcome to
a safe space for healing
Welcome
I’m here to support you as you take steps toward a more balanced and fulfilling life.
With a background in social work (MSW) and as a member of both the Ontario College of Social Workers and Social Service Workers (OCSWSSW) and the Ontario Association of Social Workers (OASW), I take a compassionate, person-centered approach that meets you where you are.
Whether you’re navigating trauma, adjusting to life changes, or coping with chronic pain, I create a safe and open space to gently touch your pain and facilitate healing through evidence-based therapies. As someone with lived experience of chronic pain and a physical disability, I bring both professional insight and deep empathy to our journey together.
Together, we’ll reconnect with the inner strength already within you and take steps toward moving forward with confidence and clarity.
I offer services in both English and Arabic, ensuring you feel fully supported and understood in the language that feels most natural to you.
Let’s connect and take the first step together.

In our work together, I’ll draw from a range of therapeutic approaches to support you in finding what truly resonates for your healing journey. Each therapy is grounded in understanding, respect, and the belief that you have the strength to grow and heal.
- Emotion-Focused Therapy (EFT)
This therapy gently explores emotions at the heart of your personal struggles. By understanding and working through these emotions, we can begin the process of healing and create lasting changes that align with who you truly are. - Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)
CBT helps you identify, understand, and gently challenge unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. It allows you to view yourself and your world with more clarity and balance, paving the way for meaningful, positive changes. - Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT)
Encourages a deep and compassionate acceptance of all emotions, even difficult ones. By staying connected to your values, we work together to build psychological flexibility. This approach supports creating a meaningful life, even amidst challenges. - Solution-Focused Therapy
As the name suggests, this approach shifts focus from problems to solutions. Together, we’ll explore your strengths and resources to find practical, effective strategies. It’s about envisioning the life you want and building on your resilience. - Motivational Interviewing
Motivational Interviewing helps uncover and strengthen your internal drive for positive change. It gently explores your readiness, offering support as you move forward at your own pace.
These therapies are designed to help you feel supported and understood. I’m here to walk with you every step of the way as we work together to find what brings you peace and strength.
Taking the step to begin therapy is a personal one, and it’s perfectly normal to feel uncertain at first. Therapy can be incredibly helpful, whether you’re dealing with specific challenges or simply want to feel more at peace in your day-to-day life.
Starting therapy doesn’t mean you have to have everything figured out. It’s about finding someone to support you as you navigate life’s challenges, helping you learn about yourself, and empowering you to create the changes you seek. If any of this resonates, therapy might just be the right step for you.
During your first full session, we’ll take the time to explore your story and understand your needs and goals. You’ll have the space to share as much or as little as you feel ready to. The focus will be on creating a safe, supportive environment where we can collaboratively explore your goals and challenges.
Our session will flow naturally, guided by your needs and comfort, while I introduce my therapeutic approach. I’m here to provide a supportive space where you can find clarity, begin healing, and openly process your emotions.
A typical therapy session lasts about 50 minutes. This time is dedicated entirely to you providing a safe, supportive space to explore your thoughts, feelings, and goals. Each session is structured to ensure you feel heard and understood while making meaningful progress at your own pace.
The cost for each 50-minute therapy session is $170. A sliding scale option is available for those who may need it, ensuring that support remains accessible. If you’re unsure about starting therapy, you can begin with a free 15-minute consultation to explore if it feels like the right fit.
Yes, all therapy sessions are conducted online via Jane App. This allows you to access support from the comfort of your own space, offering flexibility and convenience while maintaining a safe and confidential environment for our work together.
The number of therapy sessions needed varies for each individual, as it depends on your unique goals and circumstances. Some people find clarity and progress in just a few sessions, while others benefit from longer-term support. Together, we’ll assess your needs and move at a pace that feels right for you.
I truly care about your well-being and want you to know that you are not alone. However, my practice is not designed to provide immediate crisis support for individuals experiencing suicidal thoughts.
If you’re feeling overwhelmed or in crisis, I encourage you to contact a trusted crisis hotline or emergency support service. In Canada, you can reach Talk Suicide Canada at 1-833-456-4566, or text 45645 for help. These trained professionals are available 24/7 to provide support and understanding in the moments you need it most.
Once you’re in a safer space, I’d be happy to work with you to navigate your journey and explore long-term healing. Your well-being matters, and there is help available.
