Life these days can be overwhelming. It’s okay to ask for help. We do it all the time don’t we? When moving a heavy table or starting a new project, we ask those around us to lend a hand. Life can be heavy sometimes and everyone deserves help. Whether you’d like to explore relationships, school, work, or want to process a traumatic event, I’m here to listen. If there’s something you’ve been navigating throughout your life that you’ve never been able to weather, we can assemble a cradle full of tools that are individually tailored to your needs. I believe everyone has strengths, and we will pull from yours during therapy.

We can focus on the present, taking note of emotions, thoughts, and behaviours that you may be encountering. We could also dive into the past, drawing a map detailing how you got to be the person that you are today. Both the direction and pace of change is in your hands.

We can work together towards building a therapeutic relationship where vulnerability is welcome. It will be a judgement free atmosphere. If you feel like you need a break, want to snack, or move around during session, I totally support that. You can reach out to me for a free consultation to see if we might be a good fit.

I wear many hats professionally. I am an MD, MACP, RP(q), a Clinical Researcher, a Project Management Professional, a Professor at George Brown College, previously an instructor for 15 years at UofT and a family oriented female.

I am also a published author of a few medical research n the Journal of American College of Cardiology, International Diabetes Federation and the Journal of European Society of Cardiology.

I have a number of years worth of work experience in mental health. I have taken care of clients in the in-patient and out-patient settings. I have research experience in mental health as we screened for depression/anxiety in postpartum females and assisted them in a setting where psychoeducation was provided to them and their family members.

I believe in providing a non-judgmental and safe space for people to share. It is important to customize care for each of my clients. This is because everyone is unique and has unique circumstances.

There are mental health workshop engagements which I conduct. Some topics I cover are stress management, relationship management, good communication skills and Applied Suicide Interventions Skills training (ASIST). ASIST is a very powerful workshop that allows for anybody who gets certified in it to be able to do suicide first aid. Just like CPR certification is common within our general public and communities, there is a need for suicide first aid to be common as well.

I have conducted the ASIST program at the Centre for Deen Studies and have delivered a workshop in spiritual counselling and mental health by Dr. Hamid Slimi. I have speaking engagements in schools and corporate organizations who recognize that mental health should no longer be stigmatized, rather it should be spoken about.

My aim is to build stronger communities through my compassion to educate and bring awareness to mental health and de-stigmatize it.
