Registered Psychotherapist
RP, CTP Dipl
Many people turn to therapy when life no longer feels quite right. You may feel confused, overwhelmed, or disconnected from yourself and others. At times, this can feel like voicelessness, moving through life as a sleepwalker, without a sense of being fully real or alive. In these moments, we can become strangers to ourselves, reacting to life rather than truly living it.
As human beings, we long to be heard and understood as we are or as we imagine ourselves to be. Therapy can provide a space for you to explore your unique life story. By reflecting on your thoughts, feelings, and experiences as you process your experiences with a therapist who can help you develop a greater sense of self-awareness and deeper understanding of yourself.
As a therapist, I work with individuals who feel a lack of meaning in their lives, who feel disconnected from themselves and/or their relationships, and who struggle with issues such as anxiety, self-esteem, and identity. I also support those who have experienced traumatic events that feel too overwhelming to process alone.
I practice psychodynamic psychotherapy, a form of talk therapy that explores how your past experiences, relationships, emotions, and unconscious patterns may influence the way you think, feel, and relate to yourself and others today.
Together, we can explore your inner world with curiosity and care, helping you better understand how your experiences have shaped you today. While supporting you toward a deeper sense of connection with yourself and others. In our work together we come notice certain patterns between what you’ve experienced, what you feel now, how you relate to others, and how you respond to the world and for your own understanding to develop over time. There is no need to perform or be anything other than yourself. You can simply allow yourself to be as you are, bringing whatever feels present for you in the moment.
My own adverse life experiences as a young refugee navigating my way in a new country eventually led me to seek psychotherapy in my adult years. My experience of speaking with a psychotherapist helped me find my voice and curiosity. Eventually I made the decision for a change in career path and began my studies at the Centre for Training in Psychotherapy. I studied in a graduate-level program in psychodynamic psychotherapy for 9 years and graduated in 2022. I have been practicing as a psychotherapist since 2019.
I meet with clients weekly for 60-minute sessions. My office is located in the Yonge and Eglinton area, just a five-minute walk from Eglinton subway station, with street parking available nearby. I offer therapy in person, online, or by phone, and sessions are available in both English and Farsi.
