Therapeutic Approach & Specialties

My approach to therapy is rooted in cultural humility, evidence-based practices, and trauma-informed care. My goal is for you to feel seen, heard, and encouraged in our sessions. Exploring moments of vulnerability, building on your strengths, and addressing obstacles can be profoundly powerful. It would be a privilege to take these steps alongside you, delving into your stories and the richness of your experiences.

Professional & Academic Background

Shadi’s practice is influenced by her academic training, personal experiences, and over two years of volunteer work as a crisis responder at crisis centres and other community agencies. Additionally, she holds a Master of Public Health degree and has more than seven years of experience working as a public health professional and advocate for social justice.

Why They Chose This Work

My life journey of navigating life in two continents and riding the waves of life led me to this field where I felt most understood. I am here to provide you with a safe and comfortable space to explore your authenticity, emotions, and responses to life.

Outside the Office

I enjoy reading books, playing guitar, and exploring local coffee shops and different neighbourhoods in our city. I also love hanging out with friends and family and value connecting with them and sharing laughter and quality time.
