About me

Working with teens has its own unique set of challenges and often times many find it difficult to communicate their current ordeals. I believe that each teen possesses the necessary strengths and resources to change and that counseling is most effective when focusing on constructing solutions unique to each teen. Not only do I focus on the individual and the presenting issue, but I choose to see the individual as people in relationships, dealing with the interactions of groups and their interactional patterns and dynamics. This way we not only focus on the internal matters, but also take a look at the external influences that may be affecting those internal tribulations.

Written on Mar 22, 2024 after therapy with Tahreer for 3 months on issues concerning depression, addictions, relationship issues, and intimacy-related issues

I have to say that I am very pleased with tahreer. It is very reassuring that she makes herself readily available if you ever need to talk about anything. As a therapist, she is more than qualified to deal with whatever life is throwing at you. But she really excels as a person. She's super easy to talk to and really listens when you need it. On a side note, I also am very appreciative of the advice given from another new parent. I honestly don't know how she could do all the therapy she does AND mother a child, on top of all the regular things she has to do in everyday life. Much respect.

Tahreer has and is helping me through many of life’s hurdles and challenges. I have grown so much with her and continue to find new things about me through the process. I am excited for what more we can accomplish together and realize that the work and healing only starts once I was able to open up and be completely honest about my feelings and thoughts. I highly highly recommend her expertise and trust her with all lasers of my life as she has been instrumental in this new phase of life I am currently navigating. I appreciate her so much and happy I have found her to guide me on my journey through life!

Written on May 14, 2023 after therapy with Tahreer for 1 year and 1 month on issues concerning stress, anxiety, relationship issues, and intimacy-related issues

I cannot recommend Tahreer highly enough. I had never gone through therapy before so I was initially hesitant but after my first session with her I felt like I made the right choice. It felt very easy to talk to her. If you’re on the fence about therapy I would suggest signing up for some sessions with Tahreer to see if it’s the right fit.

Written on May 02, 2023 after therapy with Tahreer for 3 years on issues concerning depression, stress, anxiety, relationship issues, family conflicts, intimacy-related issues, and parenting issues

I've been in therapy with Tahreer for over a year and I am constantly amazed with my progress. She has helped me become a kinder person to myself and it's been transformational for the other aspects of my life. I credit her with helping me to gain the clarity to move forward in a healthier way through big life changes. Her approach is always open and honest but encouraging self reflection. She enables me to realize things about myself rather than telling me. Fostering an ability for me to maintain my progress since I had the realization myself and have already internalized it. I am in such a better space today because of her.

Tahreer has been really helpful in reframing how I approach certain situations that have come up for me. She has also just been a great listener and helped me process through how I feel rather than blindly reacting. I have enjoyed getting to learn from her and learn more about myself along the way.

Tahreer's counselling has changed my life, I can see what was driving my anxiety and I can see what I need to work on for the first time in 20 years. I'm not just brushing it under the carpet as inconsequential, I'm facing it and working on it. She has made me see that it's real and that I am worth someone spending this time helping me.

Tahreer is an amazing listener! She gives thoughtful responses while also gently challenging to you think differently through reflective assignments.

I’m very fortunate to have her as my counsellor! She took me from a state of crying everyday to never being happier and loving myself more everyday. She taught me that true self love comes from confronting your past and validating your emotions. She is very supportive throughout the process and let’s you know that she is also available to send a message to outside your therapy session.

You'd be very lucky to have Tahreer as your counsellor. I can't thank her enough for patiently walking me through my mind and helping me see myself and my life clearly. She is supportive, accommodating, genuinely caring and very personable! She's always been there as prompt as possible to respond to me through the week, and also takes the time to check in between sessions. She has a talent for getting to the root of your problem when you can't see it yourself, and helps to untangle it. For the first time in a very long time, I am depression and anxiety free thanks to her help. I could go on for days, but I'm just grateful I let her help me.
