Therapy can be a place to pause, understand, and reconnect.

Whether you are feeling overwhelmed, caught in familiar patterns, or looking for a different way forward, therapy can offer space to understand what you are experiencing. Our work begins with curiosity and respect for your story, your strengths, and what matters most to you. You do not need to have everything clearly defined before beginning.

How I can support you

Therapy shaped around your needs

Individual Therapy

I provide individual therapy to teens, young adults, and adults. Therapy offers a supportive space to explore your emotions, relationships, experiences, and recurring patterns at a pace that feels manageable and meaningful.

  • Anxiety and overwhelm
  • Perfectionism and self criticism
  • Body image and disordered eating
  • Emotional regulation
  • Neurodivergence
  • Relationship concerns
  • Self esteem and identity
  • Stress and life transitions

Couples Therapy

Couples therapy offers a collaborative space where partners can slow down difficult cycles, understand one another more clearly, and develop new ways of communicating and connecting. I draw on Gottman Method Couples Therapy to support couples in strengthening their relationship.

  • Communication and conflict
  • Emotional connection
  • Recurring relationship patterns
  • Navigating change together
  • Rebuilding trust and understanding
  • Strengthening friendship and connection

About Mitra

A thoughtful, compassionate approach to therapy

I believe therapy works best when you feel emotionally safe, genuinely heard, and actively involved in the process. My approach is collaborative, compassionate, and tailored to your unique needs and goals.

My own experiences have deepened my appreciation for how complex our relationships with food, body image, and self worth can be, and how much courage meaningful change can require.

Through our work together, we can explore what is happening beneath the surface, build understanding, and identify changes that feel authentic and sustainable for you.

I integrate evidence based approaches, including Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, Dialectical Behaviour Therapy, and trauma informed therapy. In my work with couples, I draw on my Level 1 and Level 2 Training in Gottman Method Couples Therapy.
