I am now accepting new clients. ...Each of us has a story we want to be true. What kind of partner/parent/friend do I want to be? What is the work I want to do in the world? What do I want to make more central, and where do I want to learn to let go? How do I navigate this next step? If we're working together, then we’re exploring what matters most to you and how to work with the obstacles that keep you from it. And if you're coming as a couple, then we're working on how to have the kinds of conversations that currently feel out of reach.

I am a master’s level MA in Counselling Psychology practicum student qualified to practice at the Atlantic Muslim Resource Center under the clinical supervision of Hanaa Rashid, MEd, MSW, RSW. I understand that seeking support can be challenging. You may be grappling with feelings of burnout, hopelessness, or unsettling emotions and thoughts. Life transitions, such as moving to a new country, changing jobs, or coping with significant stressors, can leave you feeling overwhelmed. Additionally, experiences of trauma, family conflict, addiction, or mental health issues like depression can feel isolating and difficult to navigate.
