“If we can share our story with someone who responds with empathy and understanding, shame can't survive.”
― Brené Brown, Daring Greatly: How the Courage to Be Vulnerable Transforms the Way We Live, Love, Parent, and Lead
Hi, I'm Deema! I'm so glad you're here. Therapy is my favourite place to be and I hope we can make it be your favourite place, too.
The quick stuff - who am I?
I am a Canadian Certified Counsellor (CCC, #10005582) with a Masters in Counselling. I work with adults (ages 19+) who are looking for support with their mental health, personal and interpersonal concerns. I practice from a Trauma Informed, Person Centered and Intersectional Feminist approach. I weave in other approaches when they are useful, such as mindfulness, cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT). People often describe me as inviting, compassionate, understanding and adaptable. My goal is to work in collaboration with you towards your goals and together we'll create a space you feel safe and welcomed into every time we meet.
What could we talk about?
Whatever you want, really. Friendships, relationships, work, family, stress, grief, loss, love, anxiety, depression, trust, self esteem, self worth…and so much more. Often in therapy we start somewhere and uncover new areas that deserve attention. We’ll do it together. We all have our own battles, some feel easier to deal with than others and you shouldn’t have to deal with them on your own.

Great if you like quick appointments, filler appointments between longer sessions, last minute bookings, having a session while on your work break or trying to squeeze in time. This session goes by quickly so we’ll dive in pretty much at the start and set an intention to guide us through to keep us on track.

Most popular/standard amount of time, can also go by fast but can feel like a good amount of time to explore a few things (depending on the content)

More time = more time in our work of course. This is great if you know you like more time, if you have more time, if sessions are more sporadic and there’s more to work through when we meet.
