If life feels overwhelming or perhaps feels like you are in emotional pain and are having trouble coping, I meet clients where they are at in their struggles and help them to unpack their emotions and offer strategies for increased resilliancy. I practice from a strength and client-centred approach. I have worked with children and youth for over 8 years and apply this knowledge in my clinical work with children youth and families. Being a father myself, I can relate to some of the hardships that families endure and stand beside my clients to offer support and validation.

An innate desire to help and understand others, as well as several pivotal points throughout my personal life have led me to pursue a profession in psychotherapy and counselling. I am passionate about supporting individuals wherever they are in their respective journeys. I am dedicated to helping facilitate healthier lives for individuals and families within our community. To begin this journey, I obtained a Bachelor of Arts in Psychology from the University of British Columbia, followed by a Master of Arts in Counselling Psychology from Yorkville University. My professional experience comprises work with adults, teens & children.

Are you an adult who was recently diagnosed with or suspects that you have ADHD and/or Autism?

It can be lonely struggling through mental health problems by yourself. You don't want to burden your family or your support system but you desperately need to connect with someone who understands and who doesn't judge you. I have a strength-based focus which means together we look for what you are doing well and apply similar and new skills to a current problem. You are wired for growth and health! It is in there, but sometimes we need a skilled therapist to help identify problem areas, help us gain awareness, and find what works for the client in any given situation.

Finding a therapist you trust and feel safe with is foundational to successful counselling. As a therapist, I use compassion, experience, authenticity and insight create a space where you are safe to process your thoughts and feelings, strengths and struggles and to receive support for expressing, connecting with and honouring your deepest values and life goals. Being responsive to clients needs also requires therapeutic education, direction and curiosity. I value asking questions which support you in experiencing your own “ah ha” moments. I will work to help you put language to some of the challenges you have experienced.

I am interested in helping individuals and couples to set and achieve goals that can assist them to make changes in their lives. Change can be a difficult process, but also one that can be very rewarding and fulfilling. Whether you are suffering from depression, relationship problems, grief, anxiety, trauma, stress, or emotional/behavioural issues, talking about your difficulties in an atmosphere of safety and encouragement can help. I want to encourage meaning and purpose in your life while being sensitive to your religious or cultural orientation.

It takes a tremendous amount of courage to reach out to a stranger for help and support. I believe we all develop strategies for coping with pain and discomfort that often serve well in the moment but not in the long term. Or, we become overwhelmed and unable to cope with the difficult demands and circumstances life throws our way. Counselling is ultimately a conversation in a safe, non-judgmental space to help you process, validate, heal, reframe, and develop strategies to experience life in a new and more meaningful way. I am an Internal Family Systems therapist with training in EMDR.

I remember my first experience with a counselor…at first, I was overwhelmed, anxious, and a bit apprehensive. As I shared my story, my skepticism decreased and I was comforted by the thought that I was in control of my life. There are many challenges that can get in the way of healthy relationships with others and our own self, but you don't have to face these issues alone. I believe that a counselor is a guide in a clients journey of healing and self-awareness. My practice is rooted in a holistic approach and I utilize techniques that integrate physical, mental, social, emotional and spiritual health. I speak Punjabi & English.
