From a very young age, I became aware that I had thoughts and feelings I needed to make sense of.

There was a depth to my inner world that I didn’t always know how to process on my own. And I found myself searching, for someone who could offer a space that felt safe, non-judgmental, and real.

A space where I didn’t have to filter, perform, or explain myself perfectly.

Just a place where I could be.

Over time, it became clear to me that this is what many of us sometimes need in order to learn about ourselves and break free from what no longer serves us.

That realization shaped the direction of my work, which has become my passion and my purpose.

Experience & Education

Born and raised in Canada, I completed my Bachelor’s and Master’s in Clinical Social Work and began my career as a counselor at a women’s shelter. I later joined an organization specializing in mental health, as a therapist to children, adolescents, and families.

I then joined the Children’s Hospital of Eastern Ontario as a social worker, an experience that further shaped my clinical approach and deepened my understanding of complex emotional and relational dynamics. In 2017, this path led me to Sidra Medicine in Qatar, where I spent five meaningful years working within a multidisciplinary setting in a multi-cultural environment.

Following this, I moved to Dubai to join a highly reputable clinic, where I continued to develop my work in individual counseling and psychotherapy, while collaborating with skilled professionals committed to high standards of care.

In 2024, I founded my own private practice, an important step that allows me to offer a more personalized and integrative approach. More recently, I’ve had the pleasure of joining Antakaya Clinic’s team and I now work with clients based in Dubai, Canada and Europe.

Beyond Understanding

For many years, my work was rooted in talk therapy.

And it is a meaningful part of the process, helping you make sense of your experiences, gain insight, and bring clarity to what feels confusing.

But over time, through continued training and a deep curiosity to better support my clients, I began to notice its limits.

Because some patterns don’t shift through insight alone. Because so many of us rationally “know better” and can’t make the changes we want and need.

And that is because some experiences, especially those that are emotionally charged or rooted in the past, are not only stored in thoughts, but within the nervous system and the body. And in the subconscious. And talk therapy doesn't always reach that level, unfortunately.

A Deeper Approach

This led me to explore neuroscience, somatic work, and approaches that go beyond talking.

I came to understand how certain memories and experiences are not always fully processed, and how they can continue to shape how we feel, react, and relate, often outside of our awareness.

This is where approaches such as EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) come in. EMDR is a well-researched, effective therapy that helps the brain process and integrate these experiences, so they no longer carry the same emotional intensity or influence.

By integrating EMDR, somatic awareness, and parts-based work, we are able to work at a deeper level, where lasting change becomes possible.

A Tailored and Collaborative Process

No two people are the same.

Which is why I don’t take a one-size-fits-all approach. Our work together is adapted to your needs, your pace, and what you’re ready for.

At times, we may use conversation to explore and understand.

At others, we may work more directly with emotional or body-based processes. Or move straight to trauma reprocessing with EMDR.

What matters is that the approach fits you.
