Ayesha supports clients from diverse backgrounds, including racialized and marginalized communities, as well as first and second-generation Canadians, in navigating their mental health challenges. Whether you're grappling with intergenerational family dynamics, managing cross-cultural tensions, or dealing with perfectionism and imposter syndrome, Ayesha is here to help you find clarity and create space for the life you want.
Ayesha’s holistic approach explores the interconnectedness of your mind, body, and environment. As a first-generation Canadian and second-generation immigrant, Ayesha understands the unique layers of navigating family expectations, identity shifts, and life transitions.

When she’s not in session, Ayesha enjoys watching anime and horror movies and is a casual, cozy gamer. Some of her favourite games, like Animal Crossing and The Legend of Zelda series, allow her to unwind and find joy in storytelling and creativity. She also loves spending quality time outdoors, whether through travel or simply savouring a peaceful landscape, which keeps her grounded and balanced.
