No matter how hard you try, you’re not feeling better.
On the outside, it looks like you are doing fine, and that this is just a temporary low point in your otherwise successful life.
On the inside, it’s a different story; you’ve been feeling very anxious, and even depressed.
These feelings are not new, but they are now overwhelming, and you’re feeling discouraged as the self-help strategies and distractions from the emotional pain aren’t actually helping.
You are starting to find it hard to concentrate and even function at times, and that worries you.
You can see some of the patterns that you are stuck in, you know that the trauma and the wounds you’ve suffered are contributing to how you’ve been feeling, but the awareness alone is not enough; you can tell that things need to be processed, dealt with and let go of, healed and overcome.
You are tired, and you want to finally feel calm and happy.
I know what it’s like and I’m so glad you’re here!
HI – AS SALAAM ALEYKUM, BONJOUR – I’M AUDREY.
I'm a Registered Psychologist, based out of Edmonton, AB. I provide online therapy & counselling to women across Alberta, New Brunswick, Nova Scotia, Nunavut, and Quebec.
I want you to know that seeking help is not a sign of weakness; we were never meant to do any of it alone. Reaching out is an act of courage.
You have been suffering for way too long and deserve therapy & counselling that do not take years. My effective, yet warm approach to therapy & counselling has been likened to ‘micro-neurosurgery’ and focuses on rapid, profound and lasting recovery.
In my professional and lived experience with spiritual and mental health challenges, therapy & counselling that work and have a real, long-term impact are deeply collaborative and put you in the driver’s seat; I have expertise but you are the ‘expert in you’. I will not tell you what to do but will curate and walk you through revolutionary techniques that will help you achieve the results you yearn for.
I will strive to strike a balance between giving you the listening ear and support you need in the moment, and following a structured yet flexible therapy & counselling framework, so you can always feel safe to show up as your authentic self, while we progress toward your goals in a clear, measurable way and at a pace that feels good to you. My clients often say that I help them feel completely seen, heard and supported, and that I convey a deep understanding of what they share with me, even when they feel like they are all over the place and not making much sense.
Together, we will define and analyze what specifically happens during your moments of struggle so that I may help you find and master the tools that can uniquely help you overcome the difficulties you are facing.
As contradictory as this may sound, I have found that our struggles are truly a reflection of what is awesome about us; I therefore look forward to meeting you in all your awesomeness and to helping you show up as your true self! This is the first step to unlocking the life you deserve and I cannot wait to embark on this journey with you!
SPECIALIZING IN…
01
TEAM-CBT for women
TEAM-CBT – an elevated form of CBT(Cognitive Behavioral Therapy) – is an effective, data-driven approach which combines a focus on powerful techniques and rapid recovery, with immense empathy and putting you at the centre of the process.
02
Islamic Therapy for Muslim women
Although things have been hard, you are doing your best to turn to Allah SWT. Yet, it feels like there is no end to your struggles, and you can’t help but feel discouraged. You are hesitant to seek help from a therapist for fear of being negatively judged, misunderstood or geared in directions that compromise your faith. As a fellow Muslim woman, I know these fears are valid. This is why I created a version of my approach that is rooted in Islamic psychology and aligns with teachings from the Qu’ran, Ahadiths and Seerah.
Jabir reported Allah’s Messenger (ﷺ) as saying: “There is a remedy for every malady, and when the remedy is applied to the disease it is cured with the permission of Allah, the Exalted and Glorious.”
Reference: Sahih Muslim 2204
Amongst other challenges, TEAM-CBT and ISLAMIC THERAPY can help address
03
Anxiety and Depression
Anxiety is no stranger, but lately, it has been particularly overwhelming. Maybe your joy gets stolen away by anxious spells, or your mood is consistently low. Either way, you’re tired of feeling like this.
You don’t have to navigate this alone: I can help you overcome the anxious and depressive feelings you have been experiencing, and calm your mind so you may feel happy, energized and hopeful.
04
Self-esteem
Your insecurities have been here for a while now. You’ve tried to deal with them but they keep interfering, and it feels that they are taking over.
You don’t have to keep listening to the critical voices and messages you have internalized; together, we can transform these inaccurate thoughts and beliefs, and help you be grounded in your worth.
05
Trauma
Things have been accumulating for way too long. You used to think of yourself as ‘resilient’ – and you are – but you’re now realizing how much of an impact all this trauma has on you. You have been feeling that it’s time to ‘deal with it’ all and let go of the pain.
Our meetings will be a safe space where you can open up, peel the layers, feel thoroughly understood and get the help you need, so you may finally heal.
Powerful therapy made simple.
Step 1
Click on the ‘Book free 15-minute consultation’ button, and select a day and time that work for you, right in my calendar.
Step 2
During the consultation, we’ll talk about your current challenges and goals, as well as explore the questions we have for each other. I will also give you information about my practice. After agreeing that we are a good fit, we will book your first session.
Step 3
During your first few sessions, we will explore your story in a warm and empathetic way, and lay down a solid foundation for our work together. We will then proceed to the active part of therapy & counselling, where real healing and transformation happen. It is my goal that at the end of our time together, you will feel liberated from what has been weighing you down, attain the peace and happiness you deserve, and have the tools to navigate whatever life may bring in the future!
You don’t have to keep pretending that you’re ‘doing good’; let’s work together to make it a reality!
