🌙 Therapy doesn’t have to be fast—it just has to feel right.

If you’re navigating life with ADHD, autism, trauma, or anxiety and feel like the world wasn’t quite designed with you in mind, I get it. As someone who is both autistic and ADHD myself, I know how powerful it can be to work with a therapist who just gets it—without you having to over-explain or mask.

I offer therapy that moves at your pace. Grounded in empathy and neurodivergent insight, I integrate tools with all the letters! ACT, CBT, DBT, IFS— you name it! But, more importantly, I adapt those tools so they actually fit you. My work supports identity exploration, trauma recovery, stress reduction, and learning how to move through the world without abandoning yourself to meet others’ expectations.

You don’t have to go it alone. If you’re ready to unmask, unpack, and untangle—let’s start there.

🧩 What It’s Like to Work With Me

My style is both thoughtful and honest. I won’t rush you—but I also won’t just nod and smile.We’ll go deeper with intention and compassion, even when things feel murky or overwhelming.

Whether you’re navigating burnout, sensory overload, or relationships that feel draining or confusing, I’ll meet you where you are—with curiosity, humour, and tools that actually work for brains like yours.

🧠 Specialties I Love to Work With

I especially love working with clients who identify as neurodivergent, as well as those managing stress, identity confusion, or emotional burnout. Here are a few of my key focus areas:

ADHD (official or suspected)
Autism Spectrum Disorder (Level 1 & lived experience)
Trauma & PTSD (especially childhood & complex trauma)
Anxiety (generalized & health-related)
Depression
Identity, Gender, & Cultural Exploration
Life Transitions & Emotional Burnout
Relationships & Communication (including couples work)
Grief & Loss

💬 A Bit More About Me

I was born in Syria and immigrated to Canada, and part of what drew me to therapy was seeing how little mental health support existed in my home country. I hold a Bachelor of Science in Biomedical Biology and Psychology, and a Master of Arts in Counselling Psychology.

I bring a blend of scientific curiosity, lived insight, and emotional depth to my work. Whether you’re newly diagnosed, figuring yourself out, or trying to unlearn the survival strategies that no longer serve you—I'm here to help you build a relationship with yourself that feels steady, honest, and whole.
