Life is unpredictable, and can be difficult at times. Grief, trauma, depression, anxiety, etc. are often isolating experiences; but you don’t have to carry the weight of it all, alone. Therapy offers a guiding light, a safe space to connect with your authentic self, to recognize your inherent value and worth, and a pathway to deeper understanding. Feeling grounded in your sense of self also helps you to reconnect with others, to clarify what you really want out of life, and to reignite your sense of purpose and meaning. I can support you to process difficult emotions and experiences, and to discover your strengths and resilience. Insight is facilitated through an attachment lens, as exploring your inner world and healing past wounds increases self-efficacy, self-worth, creates a felt-sense of security, and can lead to profound changes.

My approach to therapy is warm, compassionate, strengths-based, down-to-earth, trauma-informed, relational, and integrative. I aim to build a strong therapeutic alliance, rooted in deep empathy, respect, and in creating genuine connections with clients, so that you feel comfortable opening up and truly feel seen, heard, and cared for. I draw on various types of evidence-based therapy, such as Emotion-Focused Therapy (EFT), Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT), Somatic Psychotherapy, Internal Family Systems (IFS), and more; in order to meet the unique needs of each client. Together, we can embark on a transformative journey towards healing and self-discovery.

I have a Master of Social Work degree from the University of Toronto, a Bachelor of Social Work with Honours from York University, and I am also a Certified Clinical Trauma Professional (CCTP). I have ten years of professional experience and a true passion for this work. I’ve had the privilege of supporting clients with a wide range of presenting issues, including anxiety, depression, relationship concerns, grief, trauma, addiction, burnout, self-esteem, relational trauma, life transitions, and more; with my speciality being in trauma therapy. One of the most important factors in successful therapy is the quality of the relationship between the client and therapist. I invite you to book a free 15-minute session, which will give us a chance to get to know each other and to determine if we are indeed a good fit.

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 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.

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.

As a South Asian woman navigating life across cultures, my work is shaped by my clinical training as well as my lived experience. This has deepened my curiosity about identity, belonging, relationships, and the ways our personal and cultural histories shape how we experience life.

Many people reach out when they’re feeling weighed down by anxiety, grief, relationship challenges, burnout, or the pressure of holding everything together. Some are navigating life transitions, identity questions, or a sense of feeling stuck or disconnected. While things may look fine on the outside, internally there’s often a lot that feels difficult to name, especially under the busyness of everyday life.

I approach therapy with curiosity, care, and deep respect for the experiences you bring. In our conversations, we slow things down and create space to explore what has been difficult to hold on your own. At times, we may gently notice how emotions show up in the body. Our work together can be exploratory, making sense of patterns and past experiences, or more practical and tool-based, depending on what feels most helpful. We move between both at your pace.

The ways we cope and relate are often shaped by earlier experiences in our families and communities. Therapy can be a space to understand how these patterns show up in the present, and to build a more compassionate and authentic relationship with yourself.

My approach is relational and collaborative, informed by narrative therapy, attachment perspectives, trauma-informed care, and somatic awareness. I work in a way that is culturally responsive and affirming of diverse identities, including LGBTQIA2S+ communities. I hold a master’s degree in clinical psychology and have nearly a decade of experience across community, medical, and private practice settings in India and Canada. I offer therapy in English, Hindi, and Malayalam.

If you’re thinking about reaching out, I offer a free 15-minute consultation. It’s a space to share a bit about what’s bringing you here and get a sense of whether working together feels comfortable for you.

Hi, I’m Sarah!

Music has always been a passion of mine, so much so that I earned my master’s degree in Audio Production several years ago. I like to think my love for music has given me a great ear for listening, both to the quality of sound and to people. Outside of music, I cherish spending time with family and friends, going for jogs with my dog, reading, and cooking. I have to admit, I am a connoisseur of chips, and it’s one thing I can’t give up!

Every individual brings a unique story. I am genuinely interested in learning about your experiences, both the challenges and triumphs, that have shaped who you are. Your perspective and journey are important to me, and I strive to create a space where you feel truly seen and heard.

My goal is to foster a therapeutic relationship built on trust, empathy, and a non-judgmental approach, ensuring you feel safe and supported throughout our work together.

In my work as a developmental service worker, I have embraced a person-centred approach, empowering individuals to recognize their strengths and supporting them in achieving their goals. I celebrate each individual’s small victories and work collaboratively to build meaningful connections within their communities.

As a caregiver for a parent with dementia, I have firsthand insight into the complexities faced by those in the sandwich generation. This experience has sparked my interest in evidence-based modalities, including person-centred therapy, motivational interviewing, solution-focused therapy, emotion-focused therapy, and cognitive-behavioural therapy (CBT). After completing my Master of Arts in Counselling Psychology, I plan to pursue advanced certification in Family and Couples Therapy.

If you are experiencing anxiety, depression, family relationship challenges, or burnout, I am here to listen with empathy, support your growth, and work collaboratively with you to identify and build upon your strengths. My approach is grounded in compassion, client-centred care, and a commitment to making support accessible.

Please feel welcome to schedule a free 15-minute phone consultation. As an intern, I am committed to making therapy accessible to those who need it.

The way we respond to the world around us is shaped by how we have come to understand it.

At times, the strategies we’ve developed to cope with difficult situations no longer align with who we are or how we want to live in the present. My aim is to help clients deepen their awareness of how they interpret and respond to their experiences and explore how old patterns can be shaped into more intentional, thoughtful ways of relating to themselves and the world around them.

I hold a Master’s degree in Counselling Psychology from Yorkville University and am designated as a Registered Psychotherapist (Qualifying) with the College of Registered Psychotherapists of Ontario. I am also a certified member of the Canadian Counselling and Psychotherapy Association.

A big part of my work is helping young people build confidence, understand their emotions, and make sense of who they are as individuals and within their family systems.

I strongly believe that seeking help and support through therapy is a beautiful way to practice self-love; when you truly love yourself, you value who you are and can grow towards what you may wish to become. Therapy is brave work; allow yourself to grow with it and become the best version of yourself. In my work, my goal is to create a space where you feel safe to express your authentic self while you are on your journey of healing and self-growth. I am here to listen and understand with a non-judgemental lens. Being a therapist is more than just a job for me—it is the expression of my desire to show compassion, empathy, and genuine care for other people.

I have attained a Master of Arts degree in Counselling and Psychology from Yorkville University and a Master of Education degree in Language, Culture and Teaching from York University. I am a Registered Psychotherapist (Qualifying) with the College of Registered Psychotherapists of Ontario (CRPO) and also registered with the Canadian Counselling and Psychotherapy Association (CCPA). I am also trained and experienced in providing behaviour therapy based on the science of Applied Behaviour Analysis (ABA). I have worked with individuals who experience depression, anxiety, bicultural and acculturation stress, work-related stress, anger issues, low self-esteem and self-confidence, grief, MVA-related pain and stress, life transitions, lack of motivation, childhood trauma, school-related issues, midlife crisis, bullying, emotional dysregulation and relationships issues.

I adopt a holistic approach in my work by drawing from a wide range of therapeutic interventions to provide treatment and support that works best for my clients and helps them achieve their goals.

Among all the great things that we want for ourselves, perhaps happiness tops the list for most of us. But life may not always turn out the way we expect, and that can hurt.

Therapy is a space that allows for reflection, exploration, discovery and growth. It is a space where you can be your truest self and where your vulnerability will be met with compassion and empathy.

There is so much competing for our attention these days, from work and personal commitments to social media and endless expectations. It can be hard to stay grounded while feeling constant pressure to be productive and keep moving forward. Over time, this focus on doing, achieving, and planning can leave us feeling weighed down and disconnected from ourselves.

I see therapy as a space to slow down to explore and understand what’s happening beneath the surface. It’s a space for you. A space to pause, breathe, reflect, and notice what you’ve been carrying. A space to reconnect with yourself and your own experience.

Using a blended approach in therapy, I integrate somatic and cognitive techniques to explore and process emotions and experiences at a pace that feels right for you. This approach allows us to work collaboratively, noticing thoughts, feelings, and body sensations, and supporting you in increasing awareness of your emotions and needs so you can respond in ways that feel more in tune with yourself.

I hold a Master of Social Work and am registered with the Ontario College of Social Workers and Social Service Workers. My previous work as a registered massage therapist and yoga instructor shaped my understanding of the mind-body connection and how stress, emotions, and experiences can live in the body over time when we don’t have a chance to process them. With both personal and professional experiences informing my practice, I am passionate about supporting people through interpersonal challenges, complex family relationships, ADHD, trauma, anxiety, depression, and grief. My focus remains on creating a space that feels collaborative, while grounded in a trauma informed and client centered approach.

In recognizing that everyone’s preferences and needs for therapy are different, I invite you to schedule a free 15 minute consultation to see if this approach feels like a good fit. This call will give us the opportunity to get to know one another better, discuss your therapeutic goals, and provide you with an opportunity to ask any questions you might have. I appreciate what it may have taken for you to take this step, and I look forward to having the privilege of getting to know you through this journey.

As a business owner and instructor I have thrived on making connections with others and finding joy in witnessing growth and possibility.
