In my practice, my goal is to walk alongside you in times of discomfort and uncertainty so you don’t have to face them alone. My warm approach to the therapeutic process includes providing a space where you can discover, and sit with, your truest self in order to acknowledge and unpack some of the uncomfortable moments in your life. In this approach, we collaboratively explore and set goals for our time together, and work to create an environment where you can grow and flourish. I utilize a range of evidence-based therapeutic approaches such as Emotionally-Focused Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Mindfulness, and the Internal Family Systems Model to assist you in working towards the goals you have for yourself.

I have two Bachelor’s Degrees from the University of Waterloo in Social Development Studies and Social Work and am currently working toward my Master’s of Social Work degree at the University of Toronto. Over the past several years, I have had the privilege of supporting a diverse range of clients in various settings, assisting them in working through a multitude of challenges including varying mental health diagnoses, addiction, relational issues, and low self-esteem. I am honoured to be able to further my professional practice here at Beaches Therapy Group as a Social Work Intern. My services are offered at a reduced hourly rate and are supervised by a Registered Social Worker in the group practice.

Your decision to start therapy is a courageous one and I acknowledge the vulnerability it takes to open yourself up to be heard and seen by someone new. It is important that you feel connected to your clinician in order to do effective work. Let’s connect for your free initial consultation to get acquainted and talk more about what you’re looking to get out of psychotherapy, in order to ensure we would be a good therapeutic match. I’m looking forward to hearing from you.

I am a Psychotherapist, Social Worker and Registered Nurse. With nearly a decade of experience working in mental health settings, I have a deep understanding of the connection between physical health and mental wellbeing. I believe that the quality of our lives is profoundly shaped by the strength of our relationships. My work is dedicated to helping you navigate emotional challenges and develop healthier behaviors and thought patterns, so you can feel more fulfilled in your life and relationships.

As a Somali-Canadian, Muslim woman, I recognize the complexity and nuance of living between multiple cultural and faith-based identities. As the daughter of refugees, I understand the challenges of trauma, identity, and community within our families and across cultures. Both my personal and professional journeys have been shaped by the process of reconciling these experiences while seeking belonging and identity.

I offer support for individuals navigating anxiety, depression, grief, addictions, and trauma—including intergenerational and cultural trauma. Whether you’re managing family or relationship conflict, workplace stress, or emotional regulation difficulties, we’ll work together to explore practical tools for healing and growth. My goal is to help you reconnect with your values, rediscover joy, and build a more balanced and meaningful life.

For couples, I provide guidance in rebuilding emotional connection and understanding. Together, we’ll focus on shifting unhealthy patterns, strengthening communication, and deepening intimacy—helping you move through conflict and nurture a stronger relationship.

My approach is rooted in empathy, collaboration, and cultural humility. I strive to create a safe and supportive space where you can express yourself freely and without judgment. I bring a culturally informed lens to all of my work, honoring the diverse backgrounds and life experiences that shape each person’s story.

If you’re ready to take the first step toward feeling more grounded, empowered, and connected, I invite you to book a free consultation. Together, we can explore the path toward healing and greater fulfillment.

I am an experienced therapist, and I’ve worked with a wide variety of mental health and substance use concerns. I strive to create a safe atmosphere where people feel supported to speak truth and to live authentically. I believe that therapy is about joining with others to restore that which has been covered up by life over time, recover that which may have been lost, and understand those times when we say, “What was I thinking (or feeling)?” Having lived and worked in numerous places around the world, I also offer a unique global perspective.

My approach to therapy includes trauma-informed modalities, psychodynamic treatment models, Dialectic Behavioral Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and motivational interviewing.

My specialties include anxiety, depression, perfectionism, procrastination, self-worth, various addictions (including compulsive online addictions), eating disorders, men’s issues, relationships, self-harm (NSSI), global transition/cross-cultural challenges, and religious trauma/abuse.

I am a Registered Psychotherapist with the College of Registered Psychotherapists of Ontario. I am also a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counsellor Supervisor, Licensed Chemical Addiction Specialist, Certified Clinical Supervisor (North Carolina), and Licensed Professional Counsellor Supervisor (Texas).
