My experiences and interests give me a unique understanding of…
- The challenges faced by individuals navigating mental health, addiction, and life transitions. Having worked extensively with vulnerable populations, including refugees, Indigenous communities, and individuals struggling with addiction, I bring a deep sense of empathy and cultural sensitivity to my practice.
- As an advocate for mental health and well-being, I understand the impact of trauma, stress, and societal pressures on an individual’s emotional and psychological state. My background in public health and counselling allows me to integrate evidence-based approaches with a client-centered perspective, ensuring a compassionate and supportive space for healing.
- I believe that therapy is most effective when clients feel understood and valued. Whether you are facing challenges with anxiety, depression, identity, or major life changes, I am here to provide a safe, non-judgmental space where you can explore your thoughts and emotions freely
My cultural or ancestral background is…
- Rooted in a deep appreciation for diversity, resilience, and community. As someone fluent in both Arabic and English, I have had the privilege of working closely with individuals from various backgrounds, including newcomers, refugees, and Indigenous communities.
- Growing up in a culturally rich environment has shaped my understanding of the challenges that arise from identity, migration, and intergenerational experiences. I recognize the importance of culturally responsive therapy and strive to create a space where clients feel understood, respected, and empowered to embrace their unique stories.
- I bring this perspective into my practice, ensuring that clients from all walks of life—regardless of ethnicity, faith, or background—feel supported in their mental health journey.
