I believe in the power of each unique individual’s story, having a safe space to share challenges, being connected to community and culture, and living well, whatever that looks like for you. I believe there is always a way to get where we want to go, and being adaptable, creative, supportive, and innovative in how to get there is a road worth travelling.

Life is full of discouraging problems and it's easy to get overwhelmed, ignore the situation, pretend we don't need to change, or quit in frustration. We might hide who we are from others thinking we are unlovable or push others away so they can't see who we are. Counselling focuses on examining our self, our ways of navigating the world and situations, and trying to make changes that let us live happier, more authentically, and more free.

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.

An increasing number of people are experiencing a profound existential and spiritual crisis that is resulting in a process of spiritual awakening. This is part of natural rebalancing act within our personal and collective layers of consciousness, bringing us closer to harmony within and without. As beautiful as this process is, it can be very disorienting as our mind and body, nervous system, psyche and soul release outdated intergenerational traumas and patterns, unlock innate wisdom, and integrate clearer ways of experiencing our interconnectedness to one another and the natural world around us.

Waitlist for new clients
Feeling overwhelmed or pulled in so many different directions? Maybe, you feel unsettled, anxious or just “stuck.” You know that something needs to change, but are not sure where to start. Processing emotional pain or relational struggles by yourself can be very overwhelming. And it can be unbearably lonely. The people I work with are amid grief, or navigating tricky life changes. Others are struggling with relationships or carrying the weight of past hurt and trauma. I work to help clients feel what they may have avoided because it seemed too big and overwhelming.

I believe therapy offers us a space to deepen our self-understanding, find language for our experiences that feel nurturing, and to move beyond our patterns of survival towards a greater sense of integrity, meaning, self-worth, and joy. Amidst the sometimes harrowing experiences of the world outside, I see my role as a therapist to be an anchor of safety and solidarity. I prioritize relational attunement, compassion, and the flexibility needed to address what is arising in the here and now.
