I acknowledge and celebrate that you bring a rich tapestry of influences, experiences, and perspectives to the therapeutic process. Using an integrative, humanistic, and strength-based approach, I tailor a therapeutic approach that centres your unique individualized mental health needs while also understanding the roles of your relationships and environments.

As a second-generation Punjabi-Canadian woman who’s existed in different spaces, I understand the push and pull we may feel when it comes to our identity and concerns. Working through a culturally sensitive and anti-oppressive lens, I work to help you feel aligned with your personal values, needs, expectations, and goals. I want you to feel seen, heard, and equipped with tools and understanding so that you can live a healthier life - whatever that may mean for you.

Alia is not currently taking on new clients.

Alia’s intention as your counsellor is to walk alongside you during your healing journey. She works from a person-centred, trauma informed lens in which she is always aware of your boundaries and level of safety and trust in the therapy room. As well, she also inform her work using Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) practices where she supports you in targeting any distressing thoughts, feelings, or behaviours, and shifting your relationship with those experiences with the hope that you may come to a place of acceptance and live a life full of clarity and authenticity.

Overall, she draws from mindfulness practices where you would work together to increase your awareness to the present moment, without judgment to any accompanying sensations, to ultimately add fulfillment and engagement throughout your life.

I believe that we have most of the tools we need to take on the different hurdles in our lives. What might be missing is a new perspective that can come from a therapeutic relationship. I offer an open, safe, and non-judgmental space to all individuals who are looking to dive deep and explore their thoughts, feelings, and behaviours.

As each person has their own set of experiences and challenges, I strive to support clients in a tailored way so change is promoted and encouraged. My intention is to provide clients with tangible tools and strategies to foster change as well as the opportunity to feel vulnerable in a safe space.

My approaches include Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Motivational Interviewing (MI), and Adlerian Therapy. I have background in chronic pain, substance use, and support clients in areas like anxiety, life transitions, goal setting, and generational trauma.

I celebrate and welcome diversity in my practice. Regardless of how you identify yourself, I am here to support you and help make sense of your thoughts.

Believing firmly that we humans have a remarkable capacity for self-healing and personal growth, I adopt a person-centered approach to my therapeutic work. Through acceptance, many issues may be better resolved as they are brought into the light of awareness. Utilizing cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), Acceptance, Commitment Therapy (ACT), and dialectical behavioral therapy (DBT) techniques and tools, I seek to meet my clients with unconditional positive regard and to walk with each of them on their path to healing.

Reaching out is not an easy thing to do; you must have already been through a process of internal conflicts and struggles. Whether it be a need to relieve emotional pain, a desire to find fulfillment and value, or a wanting to improve the relationships you care about, I am here to hold a safe, non-judgmental space where you are able to connect authentically to your wants and needs.

There is nothing more beautiful to me than the rawness of the human spirit. No matter who we are, where we are from or where we go next, we carry narratives about ourselves that impact our experiences and the way we show up in the world. Humans are social beings, which means that the quality of our relationships directly influences our quality of life and overall sense of wellness. However, many of us were never taught the importance of nurturing a strong and healthy relationship with the self, first. I am passionate about empowering clients to reclaim their stories, get in touch with themselves and live in ways that align with their truest values.

No matter what we may be going through in our lives, we should be able to take the time to slow down and take care of our mental, spiritual, and emotional health.

I strive to create a safe and supportive space that is rooted in empathy, authenticity, and collaboration where my clients will be heard, empowered, and understood. I hope to join you in your journey and thank you for taking the time to learn a little about me and how I may be able to support you.
