At Silver Lining Psychotherapy, we believe that healing begins with hope — and every challenge holds the potential for growth. Our practice is dedicated to providing compassionate, evidence-based mental health care to individuals, couples, and families navigating life’s difficulties.
We offer a safe, supportive space where clients can explore their thoughts and emotions, develop healthier coping strategies, and work toward lasting change. Whether you’re dealing with anxiety, depression, trauma, relationship issues, or life transitions, our team of licensed therapists is here to help you find your own “silver lining.”
Our approach is client-centered and collaborative. We tailor therapy to meet each individual’s unique needs, drawing from a range of modalities including cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT), psychodynamic therapy, mindfulness, and trauma-informed care.
At Silver Lining, your mental wellness is our priority. Together, we’ll work toward clarity, resilience, and a renewed sense of purpose.
I understand consulting a psychotherapist requires a lot of courage. Whether you are struggling with anxiety, depression, stress, major life changes or relationship issues that you are not comfortable in sharing with others, I provide a nonjudgmental, safe, respectable and validating space for you as you embark the journey of self-discovery. Silver Lining is a humble initiative for all those going through tough times in life and seeking help. I work with adults only. I use an eclectic approach including CBT, DBT and solution focused therapy.
I did certification in Dialectical Behavioral Therapy from ‘Centre for MindBody Health’, Toronto. I completed postgraduate diploma in Clinical Counseling and Psychotherapy. I did master’s in applied psychology from Pakistan in 2007. I am a registered member of Ontario Association of Mental Health Professionals and College of Registered Psychotherapists of Ontario. I am an RP (Qualifying) in a supervised practice.
