Therapy for trauma, anxiety, relationship & attachment issues in Toronto and online across Ontario
Helping you build healthier relationships—with yourself and others.
Sometimes, it feels like no matter what you do, the past keeps creeping into your present. On the outside, it might seem like you have it all together. You get things done, put on a brave face—but something still feels off. Maybe you can’t quite put your finger on it, or perhaps you’ve started to realize that your difficult childhood still impacts you today. It feels like those old wounds are holding you back, shaping how you feel about yourself, how you connect with others, and how you show up in your life.
Maybe you’ve noticed…
You’re constantly on edge, always waiting for the other shoe to drop, bracing for something to go wrong.
You struggle to trust those around you, even when they show genuine care—or struggle to trust yourself, caught in cycles of self-doubt and anxiety.
Childhood trauma has left emotional scars, and you're still feeling its effects in your relationships and self-esteem.
You feel stuck in recurring relational patterns, constantly people-pleasing or isolating yourself to protect from further pain.
Overwhelming emotions like guilt, shame, sadness, or anger make it hard to find peace or connection or maybe you don’t feel them at all.
You feel trapped by perfectionism, making you feel the need to be flawless to avoid rejection or criticism.
But this doesn’t have to be your story forever. You can break free from these patterns and start building healthier, more fulfilling relationships—with others and yourself.
Meet Aliye
I’m Aliye— I help adults heal from the pain of past trauma, find calm, build trust, and create fulfilling relationships with themselves and others. Inspired by the olive tree—a symbol of resilience, renewal, and peace—I founded Oliva as a space where even the most deeply rooted emotional wounds can find light, healing, and the chance to grow into something new. Just as the olive tree endures through time, surviving and thriving in the harshest conditions, you too have shown incredible resilience in the face of adversity.
I understand how hard it can be when childhood wounds continue to influence your life in ways that are often hard to articulate. The confusion, the self-doubt, and the sense that no matter what you do, you’re still carrying something from the past—it’s exhausting. And while you’ve learned to manage it, that doesn’t mean you don’t feel the toll it’s taking on you emotionally. My goal is to create a space where you don’t have to carry that weight alone anymore, where you can finally turn toward those parts of yourself that have been longing for healing.
Just like the olive tree, you have the capacity to not only survive but thrive, even after enduring the toughest storms.
