As a South Asian woman, I understand our culture and family can deeply shape our beliefs.
I have the privilege of working with couples and adults of diverse backgrounds and experiencing a wide array of struggles. Many of my couples want to re-build their sense of friendship, regain trust, and feel deeply connected, heard, and understood. My individual clients come in with a variety of challenges, from everyday stressors, depression, anxiety, grief, loss, and processing trauma. I believe my client is their own best expert, and we will collaborate to create goals and a treatment plan that helps you live life fully. I currently work 10-4 Mon and Tues, and 10-5 Thurs and Fri.

Tom is a top therapist in Alberta for immigrants, and offers a culturally-adapted mood therapy for Asian -Canadians.
Good psychologists devote ample time to listening to and helping their clients. No one should have to feel like they are making an elevator pitch when they see their therapist. I offer longer sessions which allow for deeper discussions and help that is personalized to your lived experience, strengths, and culture. My approach is calming, caring, insightful, and creative, and I'm also trained to discuss topics that some psychologists don't have the comfort or cultural knowledge to address. Together, let's start building a way forward free from struggle with negative emotions and towards a more meaningful and fulfilling life!

Are you living in 2 worlds as a South Asian Canadian, hiding parts of your identity? This conflict leaves you experiencing guilt, shame, anxiety, a loss of autonomy and self, as you walk the tightrope of everybody's expectations of you. Growing up in a home environment that is completely different from your outside world can drastically impact your well-being and leave you asking “Who am I”? This can be exacerbated by enmeshed family dynamics. Culturally using your voice and setting boundaries feels selfish at first - but we can get you there together. You will learn and unlearn things as you proudly grow into your authentic self.

Connection is a deep bond in which you develop awareness between yourself and the external world. Through this awareness, your identity as well as the ability to comprehend and communicate with others evolves. As you continue to develop and make more meaningful connections, the more grounded you may feel, in who you are and how you interact with the world. However, there are many of you that have experienced unhealthy or toxic connections with yourself or others. As a result, you may feel like disconnecting and withdrawing is the safest decision to make.

As humans, we will experience feelings of burnout, anxiety, or depression at some point in our lives, and talking to a psychologist can help. I have seen firsthand the transformative power of therapy and the incredible progress individuals can make as they learn to navigate their emotions, build resilience, and create meaningful connections with others. Since there is no “one size fits all” approach, I will work in collaboration with you to come up with a unique game plan that fits your needs and most of all, works! I am here to help support and push you towards achieving your personal, professional, and lifelong goals.

I've helped thousands like you as a Mental Health and Addictions Counsellor for the past 20 years, and as a first-gen immigrant parent that understands intergenerational and systemic challenges. I'm trained in many evidence-based treatment modalities (DBT, Mindfulness, ACT, Grief & Loss) but it is my relatable approach that brings ease to clients wary of taking the first step.

Trauma can leave an imprint on our lives, but it does not have to be permanent. It may alter your foundation and leave you lost, angry, confused and in unbearable pain. I believe that choosing to rebuild this foundation through therapy is a courageous step in healing. It is not always an easy journey as we need to survey the land, start digging, install the foundation and work with any arising obstacles. This can be an exhausting and scary process but we will work collaboratively at your pace and create a resolution that fits for you.

Clients have often come to counselling when they are struggling, finding that their usual strategies are no longer effective, or when they are feeling "stuck" in life. I have experience working with clients who find themselves struggling with various concerns like: depression, anxiety, stress, anger, trauma, mood concerns, relationship issues, and other complex presentations. While I have experience working with individuals across the lifespan, I particularly enjoy working with children, adolescents and adults.

We all have different life stories where losses, pain, struggles and setbacks paint part of our story plots. Our life stories say more than the fact of what happened, they speak to us who we are, who we can be and guide our future as we make sense of our life experiences. When we get stuck in our life, we sometimes need a safe place and a reliable person to hear and to understand us as we work our way out of the dark tunnel. We can feel validated and accompanied in this collaboration that fosters an honest and open dialogue. I do hope to be your companion on your healing journey.

Asian Counsellors

Why is it important for a therapist to be culturally sensitive?

A culturally sensitive therapist would be respectful and considerate of different groups, with regard to race, sexual orientation, gender, and other factors that are important to an individual. These considerations can help a client feel understood as well as validated. While some people think highlighting race could promote stereotypes and bias, more understanding and knowledge about cultural differences is a positive for a healthy therapeutic alliance.

How can I recognise an effective Asian therapist?

You can discern a lot by asking how familiar the potential therapist is with different cultures, as well as asking how they might address issues related to identity, values, and beliefs. Also inquire about their education, as well as any particular training they may have completed, such as cultural sensitivity or diversity and inclusion programs.

What if the therapist does not have my exact background?

The therapist may not share a client’s exact background, but the therapist may have plenty of hands-on experience as well as the sensitivity needed for therapeutic progress. Their sensitivity to different populations will help the client feel accepted and comfortable in sharing their concerns and difficulties.

How might I inquire about a therapist's experience with Asian clients?

A therapist with an Asian background may have experience within their community, as well as broader cultural sensitivity. Ask the potential therapist whether they've worked with individuals who share your background. If they have not worked with similar clients, they may well know someone who has such experience.

Who is included in Psychology Today's directory of Asian therapists?

The directory of Asian therapists includes professionals who have shared their ethnicity in their profiles. Psychology Today uses this information to assist clients in finding a therapist who can provide a cultural match. However, not all therapists choose to disclose their ethnicity in their profiles, and they may not appear in search results for this reason; also, when the number of therapists identified as Asian is limited, the directory will also show therapists with comprehensive experience working with clients from relevant backgrounds.
