Anxiety leaves us feeling overwhelmed, nervous, and disconnected from our true selves.

You want to feel confident so you can face your future with a sense of purpose and hope, and I can help you get there.

I work collaboratively, inter-sectionally and conscious of my clients lived experience and world view. I believe learning to become an authentic person is the ongoing journey we all undergo and with counselling, it can be a bit easier. I believe strongly in meeting an individual where they are presently and working alongside their own desires for change and growth. However, counselling is a safe space to work through these difficult parts so that you are able to take better control over your own life and live your life authentically.

Starting therapy to address various challenges such as trauma, anxiety, addiction, depression, and self-esteem can feel overwhelming. My personal journey of healing has taught me the importance of a welcoming space where you can openly express your experiences without judgment. Emotions hold valuable messages we need to hear, and I believe every feeling serves a purpose. In our collaborative journey, I aim to help you delve deeper into your inner world, enhancing self-awareness and uncovering effective solutions that align with your unique needs and aspirations.

Hi, I’m Dee. I feel it would be an honour to walk beside you on your path to healing. To introduce myself briefly, I am a Registered Clinical Counsellor. I work with diverse populations and various concerns. I specialize in anxiety, depression and grief, working closely with trauma and relationship issues. My personal journey of self-exploration and deep inner work has led me to become passionate about supporting others. I offer counselling in English, Hindi, Punjabi and Urdu languages to adults, children, couples, and families. I am even certified in play therapy techniques to help children and teens with their healing and growth.

My therapeutic work promotes self-discovery and growth through body, mind and emotional awareness. I work with issues related to trauma, grief, anxiety, depression and relationships. My aim is to help people develop the skills required to address challenging situations and cultivate a deep sense of self-acceptance and personal strength.

I have been in private counselling practice for 15 years, and in wellness, personal development and the media for 25 years. My practice draws self-referring, high-functioning adults/couples with addiction, phobia, anxiety, depression and attachment disorders affecting their lives beyond their historical, current or perceived ability of self-control. In couples, I usually begin individually to create safety and self-awareness, then back together towards clear self-advocacy, expression and to build trustful communication. EMDR in the couple context can clear a lot of old trauma and wounded pattern-associations that mire us in destructive relational dynamics.

I have 22 years of experience helping people worldwide with their various life challenges such as anxiety, depression, anger issues, etc. I view therapy as an opportunity for personal growth, not just as a means of problem-solving. Many of our issues in the present stem from messages, both explicit or implied, that we learned during childhood to protect ourselves from criticism or judgement by parents, society or peer. Through therapy, we will work together to identify and uproot these messages that are holding us back. Too often these ‘messages’ turn into beliefs that lead to unconstructive defence mechanisms and coping strategies.

Welcome! For over 20 years now, I've worked with people struggling with low self esteem, depression, anxiety and life crises using ISTDP, a dynamic therapy model that creates quick and lasting change. For couples who are struggling with a lack of intimacy and communication difficulties, I use Emotionally Focused Therapy. EFT is a research based model proven to help couples see their negative patterns and habits, and help them make better choices so that their relationship can improve and deepen. I give couples the tools they need to feel closer right away. I offer a free 20 min consult to see if we are a good fit. Change your life!

Take the first step toward healing. Whether you are struggling with anxiety, depression, relationships, self-esteem, identity, grief, loss or trauma, I am here to help. My practice is rooted in the desire to support, empower, and educate clients. I believe my clients are capable and resilient, and that together we can develop skills to create change. I am passionate about issues of social justice and I use anti-oppressive, feminist and multicultural approaches in my work.

Do you feel STUCK? When we feel stuck we start to question our life’s purpose and often start to doubt past and future decisions. Feeling stuck can often lead to confusion, hopelessness, fear, paralysis and lack of motivation. These experiences can generally cause anxiety, panic, depression and generally a low quality of life. Although these feelings can be incredibly painful and may lead you to feel helpless, it’s important to remind yourself that with the right support, you can change your life.

If you’re overwhelmed or stuck, or you’ve lost something precious, I can help. If your child is struggling with feelings, or behaviour, or learning, I can help with that, too. My strength lies in helping you identify and celebrate your own unique strengths. I'm certified by the CCPA, and for years I've worked with people of all ages and diverse backgrounds. I offer my clients empathy, respect, curiosity, and honesty.

I know that it takes a lot of courage to reach out for help at times when we feel distressed, overwhelmed, vulnerable, confused, wrought with sadness, shame, hurt, guilt, intense worry... Some of us have been told or made feel that we do not deserve better, or that we are not good enough, or smart enough, or thin enough, or strong enough, or funny enough... Sometimes we seek refuge in food, alcohol, drugs, sex, or self-harm to cope with the belief that we can never feel differently about ourselves or the world.
