Hi, I’m Meryat, a wife of 16 years and a proud mom of two wonderful daughters. I was born in Kuwait to Egyptian parents and lived there until I graduated from high school, when my family moved to Canada. Building meaningful connections with people from all races, backgrounds, and cultures is one of my greatest passions. I believe our shared humanity is what truly connects us.

Although I have spent the past 16 years as a community pharmacist in the Halifax/Bedford area, I have always felt that my true calling was to support people on a deeper, more personal level. I found the greatest fulfillment in listening, validating others’ experiences, and helping them navigate life’s challenges. That passion led me to return to school to pursue a Master of Arts in Counselling Psychology at Yorkville University, where I am currently in the final stages of completing my degree.

Whether you are struggling with anxiety, depression, life or career transitions, relationship challenges, or simply seeking a deeper understanding of yourself, I would be honored to walk alongside you. Drawing from Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Solution-Focused Therapy (SFT), and other evidence-based approaches, we will work together to better understand your experiences, build on your strengths, and create meaningful, lasting change.

When I’m not working or studying, you’ll likely find me traveling with my family, volunteering at church, walking my pug, or enjoying creative hobbies such as painting, woodburning, and my latest obsession—painting seashells!
