Hi! I’m Anel.
Outside of work, I (really) enjoy pottery, cooking, dancing, hiking, hosting dinner parties, being in green spaces, spending quality time with family/friends, learning Spanish and tending to my family of cactus plants.

Acknowledging the good that you already have in your life is the foundation for all abundance.

I am a Psychotherapist, Social Worker and Registered Nurse. With nearly a decade of experience working in mental health settings, I have a deep understanding of the connection between physical health and mental wellbeing. I believe that the quality of our lives is profoundly shaped by the strength of our relationships. My work is dedicated to helping you navigate emotional challenges and develop healthier behaviors and thought patterns, so you can feel more fulfilled in your life and relationships.
As a Somali-Canadian, Muslim woman, I recognize the complexity and nuance of living between multiple cultural and faith-based identities. As the daughter of refugees, I understand the challenges of trauma, identity, and community within our families and across cultures. Both my personal and professional journeys have been shaped by the process of reconciling these experiences while seeking belonging and identity.
I offer support for individuals navigating anxiety, depression, grief, addictions, and trauma—including intergenerational and cultural trauma. Whether you're managing family or relationship conflict, workplace stress, or emotional regulation difficulties, we’ll work together to explore practical tools for healing and growth. My goal is to help you reconnect with your values, rediscover joy, and build a more balanced and meaningful life.
For couples, I provide guidance in rebuilding emotional connection and understanding. Together, we’ll focus on shifting unhealthy patterns, strengthening communication, and deepening intimacy—helping you move through conflict and nurture a stronger relationship.
My approach is rooted in empathy, collaboration, and cultural humility. I strive to create a safe and supportive space where you can express yourself freely and without judgment. I bring a culturally informed lens to all of my work, honoring the diverse backgrounds and life experiences that shape each person’s story.
If you’re ready to take the first step toward feeling more grounded, empowered, and connected, I invite you to book a free consultation. Together, we can explore the path toward healing and greater fulfillment.
