If you’re the one everyone depends on, the responsible one, the high-achiever, the “strong” one but you feel secretly feel overwhelmed, anxious, or emotionally exhausted… you’re not alone.

I support young adults who struggle with:

Overthinking and anxiety

Repeating painful relationship patterns

Dating emotionally unavailable partners

Cultural or family expectations that feel heavy

Burnout from always having to hold it together

Feeling “not enough” despite success

Many of my clients appear confident and capable, but internally feel disconnected, self-critical, or stuck in cycles they can’t quite explain.

Together, we’ll gently explore where these patterns come from especially attachment wounds and early relational experiences and build tools to help you regulate your emotions, communicate clearly, and choose relationships that feel secure and aligned.

My approach is trauma-informed, culturally responsive, and rooted in compassion. As a South Asian Muslim therapist raised in Canada and with over 15 years of experience, I understand the tension of balancing multiple identities and expectations and I create a space where you don’t have to explain your culture to be understood.

You don’t have to wait until things fall apart to start therapy. I would be happy to support you in building healthier patterns before burnout or unfulfilling relationships take over.

Accepting New Clients: Canada-wide (Virtual) + In-Person in Calgary

You might look like you have it together on the outside — high-achieving, thoughtful, responsible, always pushing through — but internally feel overwhelmed, emotionally exhausted, stuck in cycles of perfectionism, people-pleasing, burnout, or self-criticism.

I work with individuals and couples who:

Struggle with ADHD, executive functioning challenges, or feeling constantly “behind”

Experience anxiety, shutdown, stress, emotional overwhelm, or burnout

Feel caught in perfectionism, masking, avoidance, or people-pleasing patterns

Want healthier relationships but fear rejection, conflict, or emotional vulnerability

Are navigating Autism, neurodivergence, identity, or cultural pressures

Feel disconnected from themselves despite appearing successful on paper

Many of my clients want to stop overthinking everything, feel more emotionally grounded, and build relationships where they can show up authentically without constantly abandoning themselves in the process.

My approach is attachment-based, trauma-informed, neuro-affirming, and anti-oppressive. Rather than viewing your struggles as something “wrong” with you, we’ll explore how your patterns may have once helped you survive, protect yourself, or stay connected to others. From there, we can begin building strategies and emotional tools that actually support the life and relationships you want.

Together, we may work toward helping you:

Better understand your emotions, nervous system, and relationship patterns

Reduce shame and self-criticism

Improve communication and emotional connection in relationships

Build healthier boundaries without guilt

Create systems and strategies that work for your brain

Feel more confident, grounded, and emotionally safe

My therapeutic approaches include:

Internal Family Systems (IFS)

EMDR

Coherence Therapy

Somatic Therapy

Polyvagal-informed Therapy

As a Vietnamese person who moved to Canada in my early teens, I understand firsthand the complexities of navigating multiple cultures and identities. I bring a culturally-aware lens to my work, particularly with BIPOC clients, so you don’t have to leave parts of yourself at the door to feel understood.

As a neurodivergent therapist myself, I’m committed to creating a therapy space where you don’t have to mask or perform. In our sessions, you’re welcome to fidget, move around, avoid eye contact, sit however feels comfortable, or simply show up exactly as you are.

I offer therapy in both English and Vietnamese and would be honoured to support you.
