Grace

Fatema is passionate about helping individuals discover their strengths and build meaningful lives beyond the challenges they face. With experience working in inpatient mental health settings, she has supported individuals navigating complex mental health concerns with compassion, empathy, and evidence-based care.

Fatema earned her Master of Social Work from Western University and takes a strength-based, trauma-informed approach to therapy. She recognizes that every person's story is unique and strives to create a safe, supportive, and non-judgmental space where clients feel heard, understood, and empowered throughout their treatment.

When working with individuals living with Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD), Fatema utilizes Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP), the gold-standard treatment for OCD, alongside Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to help clients face fears, build resilience, and move toward the life they want to live. She completed her ERP training through Behavioural Exposure Training Inc.

Outside of the therapy room, Fatema enjoys exploring nature, hiking local trails, spending quality time with family and friends, and experimenting with new baking recipes—though she'll be the first to admit that not every cake turns out as planned!

Grace is passionate about helping individuals overcome OCD and anxiety while building confidence, resilience, and a life guided by their values—not their fears. She is committed to providing compassionate, evidence-based care and believes that meaningful change happens through collaboration, trust, and steady support.

Grace earned her Master of Social Work from the University of Windsor and has experience supporting adolescents, adults, and families across a variety of mental health settings. She has completed advanced training in Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP), the gold-standard treatment for OCD, and continues to pursue ongoing education to ensure her clients receive the most current, evidence-based care.

Recognizing that every person's experiences are unique, Grace takes a trauma-informed and collaborative approach to therapy. She works closely with clients to develop individualized treatment plans, integrating evidence-based interventions that address OCD, anxiety, trauma, and other life stressors. Her goal is to create a safe, supportive, and validating space where clients feel empowered to face challenges, build resilience, and move toward the life they want to live.

Above all, Grace believes that healing is possible and feels privileged to walk alongside her clients as they work toward lasting change.
