Who I am

I am neurodivergent, mixed raced, nonbinary (female-ish), and queer-identified. I am of Syrian and German heritage, and am a settler living on the stolen lands of the Syilx Okanagan people. I grew up in the Middle East and speak English fluently, as well as some Arabic and French.

Who I work with:

I love working with people in the neurodivergent, mixed race, BIPOC, LGBTQ2S+, kink & poly communities. I love connecting with people around their painful parts, and seeing how those parts can bloom when given the care and patience they need. I value being authentic both as a therapist and as a human.

My Experience

I have 10+ years of experience providing neurodivergently-friendly therapy that honours your unique processing differences, helps you regulate your emotions and build resilience.

Working with me

My approach is warm, trauma-informed, and decolonial. My focus is on supporting you to find a home within your own nervous system so that the feelings don’t feel so big, so alone, and so overwhelming.

I believe that we are all innately wired to heal and that given the opportunity, we can thrive instead of survive.

Other things about me:

I am obsessed with emojis 🥕🐢💖🧠🦊 I love nature but am terrified of wasps In my downtime I like hyperfocusing on my special interests (and finding new ones). Some of these include: music production, dance, nonduality, sound healing, knitting, stargazing, ufo’s, and most things tech related.

My goal as a therapist is to empower you with an understanding of how your neurodivergent brain works and to support you in accessing your truest potential. 

As a neurodivergent mom of two kiddos, I am deeply motivated to work within this community. I am passionate about supporting neurodivergent adults navigate the unique challenges of moving through a neurotypical world. I believe that we all have super hero strengths and sometimes we just need someone in the room to shine a light on them - so, get ready to throw on that cape.

My approach to working with individuals is dynamic:

• I seek to be flexible and fun in working with individuals
• I steer clear of ‘one size fits all’ thinking
• I understand each of us as having a unique set of circumstances that leads us to seek support
• My perspective is that all behaviour makes sense and although sometimes these behaviours can be harmful and outdated, historically they have served a purpose

My clinical work is informed by multiple evidence-based practices:

• Attachment theory
• Trauma-informed
• Mindfulness
• Narrative and neuroscience research
• Somatic Experiencing

Other things about me:

• I am also a runner and an enthusiast of all things outdoors. 
• Prior to taking my MSW, I specialized in experiential education, wilderness therapy, substance use, and adolescent mental health. 

I look forward to the opportunity to work with you!
