I specialize in neurodivergence (ND), trauma (C-PTSD), and insomnia. A lot of my clients are also highly sensitive and had challenging childhoods. You may be hard on yourself, have a tendency to people please, and struggle with boundaries. There's a sense that underneath these patterns is a more grounded, self-compassionate, and creative version of yourself. For those with insomnia, you may feel consumed with worries that you won't ever sleep again, or even that your brain is broken. As a former insomniac, I understand what that's like and I am passionate about supporting you to heal the root of the issue.

In the depths of life’s joys and sorrows lies the essence of our existence. Dr. Colin Murray Parkes once wrote, “The pain of grief is just as much a part of life as the joy of love; it is, perhaps, the price we pay for love, the cost of commitment.” His words remind us that love and loss are inseparable; the deeper the connection, the greater the risk of pain when it changes or ends, often leading to profound suffering. This understanding deeply influences my philosophy as a counsellor, as it suggests that true healing involves accepting and exploring the full range of human emotions, including both joy and grief.

Through values of humanity, connection, safety, intentionality, curiosity, and courage, I combine talk therapy with body-based/somatic approaches. In individual counselling, you have the full space to explore your internal world - processing past/current experiences, developing a compassionate relationship with all parts of yourself, getting curious about your subconscious patterns, and exploring your relational connections. Through our relationship and work, my hope is that your past relational history can be processed, repaired, and integrated into your present, allowing you to move towards embodied inner and relational safety.

Do you need a space to figure out how to escape people-pleasing and perfectionism? You may find yourself saying "yes" when you want to say "no," and constantly striving to keep everyone around you happy. This can lead to feelings of resentment, exhaustion, and a loss of your own identity as you struggle to maintain a mask that pleases others. Maybe you are pushing yourself to the point of exhaustion in pursuit of achievements, becoming burnt out in your efforts to be helpful and accommodating, or moulding yourself to meet the expectations of others, all while losing your connection to your true self and your own needs.

Hi there, my name is Maryam, and I am a Registered Clinical Counsellor with the British Columbia Association of Clinical Counsellors (BCACC). My goal is to provide you a safe space to express how you’re feeling. I am a second-generation South-Asian settler living, working, and playing, on the sacred, stolen, and ancestral territories of the xʷməθkwəy̓əm (Musqueam), Skwxwú7mesh (Squamish), and Səl̓ílwətaʔ/Selilwitulh (Tsleil-Waututh) Nations. I identify as a third-culture kid and know how difficult it can be to feel like you belong, especially while struggling with the multiple pressures of our communities or families.

Are you new to therapy, or frustrated with not making progress? I specialize in taking clients deeper than they have gone before to really heal and gain insight into why you stay stuck. Symptoms are of the same variety for all people, anxiety, depression, self criticism, relationship conflict, difficulty with mood or emotional regulation, obsession etc. However, underlying your symptoms are habits and patterns of thinking and the way you use defences to avoid experiencing pain and fear. I will help you navigate the labyrinth of how and why you think and behave in the ways you do to open up new pathways for living more fully.

Deep inside of you is the awareness of what you need to heal. I help facilitate and unearth that inner wisdom with individuals, couples, and groups. Together, we'll practice tuning into your own unique embodied awareness. From there, we can translate that increased clarity into tangible action that aligns with your greatest, most authentic wellbeing. Our bodies exist within larger systems — many of which can disconnect us from ourselves and each other. We'll look together at the messages we've internalized from these systems in order to unearth the ones that are no longer helpful.
