Intentional Living Psychotherapy

Hi, I’m Ruba (she/her), and I’m really glad you’re here. Maybe you’re feeling emotionally drained, stuck in patterns you can’t seem to shift, or weighed down by self-doubt. You might be moving through a painful life transition, coping with grief, feeling alone in your struggles, or simply longing for more fulfillment and meaning in your life. Whatever brings you to this page, my intention is to offer a warm, non-judgmental space where your feelings are welcomed and respected.

I am a Registered Psychotherapist (Qualifying) at Intentional Living Psychotherapy, and I work primarily with adults who are navigating anxiety, relationship challenges, and significant life transitions, including fertility concerns, pregnancy, and postpartum experiences. To me, intentional living means choosing a life of purpose instead of autopilot, curiosity instead of fear, and actively shaping a life that feels aligned with who you truly are. Together, we will gently explore what is keeping you stuck and begin to create a clearer path toward understanding, healing, and a greater sense of ease.

In our work, I bring warmth, compassion, and evidence-based approaches that are tailored to you, including:

• Psychodynamic Therapy to explore how your past experiences and relationships shape the patterns you find yourself in today.
• Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT) to deepen emotional awareness and build more secure, connected relationships.
• Internal Family Systems (IFS) to help you understand and soften the different parts of you that may be in conflict, so you can move toward greater self-compassion.

You deserve a life that feels meaningful, grounded, and true to who you are, not one spent simply getting by. If you are ready to explore your story with care and intention, I would be honoured to walk alongside you.

You are welcome to book a free 30-minute consultation. I offer convenient virtual sessions across Ontario, as well as a warm in-person space in Kitchener, Ontario.

I look forward to hearing from you.
