Welcome to a space where we will hold whatever burdens, anxieties, or transitions you are carrying, cultivating a sense of inner peace (sakinah) and uncovering the strength that has always been within you.

A session with me is a space for sharing laughter and tears, allowing for quiet, unrushed moments, and using reflective questioning to deepen our shared understanding. I hold a compassionate space where many incredible individuals’ stories have found a safe home, and I walk alongside you, enriched by these inspiring collective experiences.

As a Turkish Muslim and immigrant counsellor, I bring over five years of experience providing comprehensive support to individuals facing mental health and addiction challenges, as well as supporting their families. I hold Bachelor’s degrees in both Social Work and Sociology, and I am currently completing my Master of Social Work (MSW) specializing in Clinical Social Work at the University of Calgary. I am a Registered Social Worker (RSW) in good standing with the OCSWSSW.

Rumi says “This being human is a guest house”, and whatever you are feeling, experiencing, or carrying right now will find a warm, safe welcome in our sessions.

My passion for mental health comes from my own challenges navigating a rare diagnosis and a difficult postpartum. As a third-culture woman growing up in Canada, I had a challenging time navigating my own identity as a young Muslim in this diaspora. From discrimination at school, work, being undermined for my experiences, and having difficult conversations with family around identity, culture, and religion, I have witnessed firsthand the complexities of carving out one’s identity and remaining true to oneself across diverse environments.

Having worked across various social service sectors, including disabilities, addiction, immigration, and student support, I have developed a deep passion for exploring the intersections of identity, attachment, cultural dynamics, faith, and well-being. In the therapeutic space, I offer a culturally safe, trauma-informed, empathetic, and compassionate approach rooted in faith and tradition.

I hold a Bachelor of Arts in Social Development, a Bachelor of Social Work from the University of Waterloo, and a Master of Social Work at the University of Windsor. I am a Registered Social Worker with the OCSWSSW. I also hold a diploma in Taleemul Quran from Al Huda Institute and am completing a certification in Crisis Intervention and Trauma Support from Humber College.
