Have you ever felt like life keeps handing you more than you can realistically hold? Stress, emotions, expectations, and unexpected challenges can pile up quickly, leaving you overwhelmed and unsure where to start. It is completely human to feel this way. Reaching out for support does not mean you have failed. It means you are ready for things to feel different. In our work together, you will have a space where you do not have to carry everything on your own. I am here to listen, understand, and help you make sense of what is happening in your world. We will move at your pace, focusing on what matters most and creating a path forward that feels achievable, grounding, and meaningful.
I support clients navigating ADHD, addictions, emotional dysregulation, career challenges, depression, anxiety, stress, relationship difficulties, life transitions, grief, trauma, self-esteem concerns, and experiences within BIPOC communities. My approach integrates ACT, Attachment and Adlerian perspectives, DBT, Emotion Focused Therapy, IFS, Mindfulness, Motivational Interviewing, Solution Focused Therapy, and culturally and trauma informed practices.
Together, we will use therapeutic tools that align with your goals and your way of experiencing the world. My aim is to help you build clarity, confidence, and emotional skills so the load feels lighter and you feel more supported as you move through life. Whether you are seeking stability, healing, or personal growth, I will walk alongside you with warmth and encouragement.

Accepting new clients - Life doesn’t always unfold the way we expect. When things feel overwhelming or uncertain, therapy can offer a space to pause and process what you’ve been experiencing. You may be navigating anxiety, ADHD, grief, women’s mental health concerns, or simply feeling stuck or unsure of your next steps. I will meet you where you are and walk alongside you on your journey, moving at a pace that feels comfortable and supportive of your therapeutic goals.
I am committed to providing a space where you feel valued, respected, and supported for who you are. My approach is collaborative, trauma-informed, culturally aware, and integrative, guided by curiosity and respect for each person’s unique journey. You can expect a compassionate, non-judgemental, affirming environment to explore what’s coming up for you.
Your lived experience will be welcomed and held with care. I draw from a variety of evidence-based approaches, including ACT, CBT, DBT, SFBT, and the Gottman Method for couples. I also incorporate attachment-based, trauma-informed, and mindfulness-based approaches to tailor therapy to your unique needs and experiences.
Starting therapy can feel intimidating, and it’s normal to feel unsure about taking that first step. You don’t have to have everything figured out, and you don’t have to carry it all on your own. Even if you don’t have the words for what you’re feeling, we can take it one step at a time, together.

Accepting new clients - Rate: $150
When life feels heavy, overwhelming, or emotionally confusing, it can be hard to know where to begin. Trauma, grief, relationship struggles, parenting stress, or major life transitions can quietly shape how we see ourselves and the world around us. You may feel stuck in old patterns, emotionally exhausted, or disconnected from your values and sense of identity. Therapy can offer a safe, steady space to slow down, process emotions, and begin making sense of your experiences in a way that feels supportive and grounding.
My approach is trauma informed and integrative, drawing from EMDR, talk therapy, mindfulness, psychodynamic work, and CBT. EMDR helps process distressing experiences that may still feel present in the body or nervous system, supporting emotional regulation, clarity, and meaningful change beyond insight alone.
I view therapy as a collaborative and compassionate partnership. I offer sessions in English, French, and Farsi, and welcome both new and returning clients. You’re invited to reach out for a consultation to explore your goals, ask questions, and see if working together feels like the right fit.

Feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or like nothing is working the way it “should”? If you have ADHD or suspect you have ADHD, you might already know the feeling of trying really hard and still feeling stuck. Maybe it’s starting tasks, staying consistent, managing emotions, or navigating relationships. It can be frustrating and exhausting, especially when things that seem to work for others don’t seem to work for you, leaving you feeling discouraged, overwhelmed, or questioning yourself and your abilities in ways that can feel really defeating over time.
I take a neuroaffirming, person-centered approach, which means I’m not here to “fix” you or push you into systems that don’t fit. Instead, we focus on understanding how your brain works and finding ways to support it in a way that actually feels realistic and sustainable. I also work with anxiety and depression, whether connected to ADHD or not.
In sessions, I draw from CBT, mindfulness, ACT, narrative therapy, motivational interviewing, and solution-focused therapy, always adapting them to fit you. I’ll ask questions, reflect things back, and sometimes be direct when helpful. My goal is to create a space where you don’t have to mask or explain yourself, you can just show up as you are.

Trauma is not purely psychological; it leaves an imprint on the body. Negative beliefs, life-changing experiences, difficult relationships, or childhood wounds can show up as tension, anxiety, depression, or self-doubt. Using somatic techniques and trauma-informed approaches, I help create space for your body to release tension, process experiences, and move toward growth. Whether you’re navigating ADHD, depression, perfectionism, boundary struggles, low self-esteem, relationship or career challenges, or healing from traumatic experiences, I offer a supportive, holistic space for restoration and self-discovery.
As a holistic, person-centered therapist, I utilize brainspotting, somatic work, EFT tapping, psychodynamic therapy, CBT, mindfulness, meditation, and polyvagal methods to craft the approach that fits you best. I’m passionate about culturally and trauma-informed care, tailoring therapy to fit your unique needs, because there’s no one-size-fits-all.

Are you struggling with anxiety, trauma, ADHD, avoidance, fear of rejection, career troubles, or trouble with boundaries? Many of my clients come to therapy feeling stuck in patterns that no longer serve them—such as people-pleasing, overthinking, emotional avoidance, or constantly fearing disconnection from others. If you’re longing to feel more grounded, confident, and connected, therapy can offer a space to reconnect with yourself, build self-compassion, and create meaningful, lasting change.
My approach is trauma-informed and integrates Internal Family Systems (IFS), DBT, EMDR, and attachment-based therapy. Together, we explore how early relational wounds continue to influence your relationships, career, and sense of self. I support clients in understanding the protective parts that developed in response to pain and help access the core emotions and beliefs that drive patterns like perfectionism, self-doubt, and emotional disconnection.
In our work together, my goal is to create a safe, supportive space where you feel truly seen and understood. Through this process, you can begin to heal, develop new ways of relating to yourself and others, and move toward living a life that feels more authentic, empowered, and fulfilling.

Are you feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or lost? Are you struggling with stress, anxiety, ADHD or self esteem? Do you need help navigating relationship troubles, your career, marriage, or starting a family? You don’t have to go through any of this alone.
I provide a safe, non-judgmental and compassionate environment for couples, teens and adults to feel safe, heard and valued. My approach is person-centred to ensure a unique and personalized experience for each individual. I pull from CBT, DBT, Solution-Focused, Emotionally Focused Therapy, and Mindfulness-Based Therapy.
Navigating through life can be hard and each experience is unique. My goal as your therapist is to provide a personalized way to help you discover yourself and find tools and techniques to help you move more confidently through life. I believe that each person holds the key to their own healing, and my aim is to help you attain this.
