I believe that healing is sacred work—an unfolding that happens in divine timing, guided by both the soul and the nervous system. As a therapist, I hold space for the unseen, the tender, the mystical, and the messy. My clients often share that they feel safe to bring their full selves into the room—with all their contradictions, longings, and quiet wisdom.

My therapeutic approach is deeply rooted in Internal Family Systems (IFS), which forms the foundation of how I support emotional healing, identity integration, and transformation. In our work together, we’ll listen deeply to the parts of you that have been carrying pain, fear, or shame—and gently invite them into dialogue, trust, and healing. Drawing from IFS, somatic practices, and intuitive guidance, I support you in reconnecting with your inner Self, your body’s wisdom, and the deeper truths that want to emerge.

Alongside IFS, I thoughtfully integrate elements from evidence-based modalities including:

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) – to identify and shift limiting thought patterns with compassion and awareness.

Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) – to strengthen emotional regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness while honoring the complexity of your parts.

Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT) – to process trauma-related beliefs through a combined cognitive and parts-based lens.

Brief Supportive Psychotherapy (BSP) – to ground our work in attuned, relational presence, especially when parts need co-regulation.

Solution-Focused Brief Therapy (SFBT) – to help surface your strengths, inner resources, and future-oriented clarity, even in the midst of pain.

This IFS-informed integration allows us to move beyond symptom management and into deep, sustainable healing. I love using these tools to gently explore what lies at the heart of issues such as anxiety, depression, bipolar patterns, relational conflict, loneliness, shame, self-loathing, addictions, and attachment wounds.

Clients often share that as we work together, synchronicities increase, their inner world softens, and clarity begins to emerge from within. This is not just therapy—it is energetic integration, nervous system reweaving, and soul remembrance.

It is my honor to walk beside you as you step into more of who you truly are.

I believe meaningful change begins with honesty - both with ourselves and in our relationships. In my work as a psychotherapist, I work with individuals and couples, with a focus on men’s mental and sexual health, helping clients untangle the patterns that are holding them back so they can move toward more clarity, connection, and self-understanding. At the heart of my approach is the creation of a safe, judgment-free space where we can explore what’s really going on beneath the surface. Together, we work to uncover root causes and develop practical, meaningful strategies that support growth - emotionally, mentally, physically, and spiritually.

I support clients navigating a wide range of concerns, including anxiety, depression, self-worth/self-esteem issues, high stress, infidelity and betrayal, compulsive behaviours (including pornography and gambling addiction), anger and emotional regulation, grief, trauma/PTSD, and more. I also work with couples navigating conflict, communication issues, intimacy challenges, and life transitions. If something’s weighing on you and you’re not sure where to turn, I’m here to listen - no pressure, no judgment. My therapeutic style is collaborative, integrative, and client-centred. I draw from a range of evidence-based modalities including Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT), Internal Family Systems (IFS), and Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT), as well as humanistic and relational approaches such as Narrative Therapy, Psychodynamic Therapy, Solution-Focused Therapy, and the Gottman Method for couples. I also incorporate Brainspotting and clinical hypnosis when appropriate, particularly in work related to trauma and emotional blocks. Every person is different, and I tailor each session to meet your unique needs and goals. I hold a Master’s Degree in Counselling Psychology and am a Registered Psychotherapist with the College of Registered Psychotherapists of Ontario (CRPO) and a Canadian Certified Counsellor (CCC) with the Canadian Counselling and Psychotherapy Association. I have completed Level 2 training in the Gottman Method and Phase 2 Brainspotting training. I offer therapy in both English and Farsi/Persian. If you are ready to take the next step towards healing, or even just curious about what that could look like, I’d be honoured to work with you. I welcome you to reach out.
