I believe mental health must recognize individualism. This is influenced by my own experience as a first-generation Indo-Canadian. My key values include empowering clients while creating a safe, collaborative approach. You are the storyteller of your life, and my role is to support you while you write, edit, and enhance the pages. My clients have shared that I provide a genuine, non-judgmental presence and atmosphere while they explore their thoughts and emotions, gain insight into their behaviours, and develop effective steps to enhance their well-being. You can expect a therapeutic setting that is professional, yet relaxed.

Chances are that you may be experiencing some stress, dissatisfaction or disenchantment in your life. These are completely normal facets of the human condition and looking into some outside supports is one step to address these often difficult feelings. I acknowledge that this can be a frightening process and want to assure you that I will meet you where you are at; in a safe, kind, genuine and non-judgmental space. I have over 14 years of counselling and therapy experience in hospitals, community & government settings. I have helped individuals of different ages, backgrounds and cultural groups with a wide range of difficulties.

Taking responsibility for ourselves and our experience of life begins with embracing our trials and tribulations, and facing them head on. This fosters a connection with the source of our power that builds resilience to manage whatever may come. Developing the resourcefulness required to fashion a life that is fulfilling and supportive of our overall well-being is an ever-evolving process, and can be more clearly navigated with the help of a trusted professional. Using a person-centred, culturally-, and trauma-informed approach, I aim to empower people to improve their quality of life through organic and systematic processes.

Whether your hardships involve the past, present, or the future, I will support you to develop a thorough understanding of the situation and overcome the barriers holding you or your relationships back. Using a strength based approach, I aim to provide the opportunity to work on any potential obstacles that may be holding you back from fully enjoying life.

I like to help people with a wide variety of issues through psychotherapy. Psychotherapy is a process of healing problems and creating greater self-awareness and insight in an individual in a confidential and safe environment and helping them initiate a more effective change within themselves. I have a wide range of experience with training in Short-Term Dynamic Therapy, Cognitive Behavior Therapy and Emotion Focused Therapy. I believe psychotherapy can lead to better and healthier relationships with yourself and with others around you, at home, with family, friends or at the workplace.

Asking for help is a sign of strength. If you are looking for help with anxiety, depression, ADHD, trauma, BPD, PTSD or have been a victim of narcissistic abuse, it takes courage to ask for help. Admitting you can’t do everything alone is the first step toward achieving wellness in a fast-paced, demanding world. Therapy can enable you to delve deeper through inner child work and reparenting yourself to heal your trauma wounds and move forward. Asking for help and obtaining a fresh perspective of your past is the first and most profound step toward developing the mental muscle needed to attain emotional and mental strength.
