CINUP Therapists in Vancouver, BC
As a neurodiverse counsellor living in Vancouver, I work with adults navigating self-esteem, trauma, ADHD, and life transitions. You might be feeling overwhelmed, stuck in patterns that are hard to shift, or trying to make sense of your experiences and identity. I offer a non-judgmental space where you can explore what’s been coming up for you, process past experiences, and reconnect with what matters most. I value transparency, compassion, and showing up authentically, and I believe that building trust starts with aligning what I say with how I show up in the room, virtual or in-person.

My approach is guided by the understanding that we, as people, are a walking mosaic of our lived experiences and those we were denied.
Whether your area of concern be surrounding mental health challenges, exploring the many parts of your identity that make you who you are, processing traumatic moments, recognizing and learning from intergenerational patterns, together we will journey towards understanding, and moving forward. I bring a direct, yet gentle, approach to my work as a counsellor that focuses on the “roots” of issues as opposed to the branches that extend from them.

Most of my clients are wired a little differently, and the work fits the wiring. I see neurodivergent adults and youth: the ADHD engineer who can build anything except a morning routine, the creative whose best ideas arrive at 2am while the paperwork never arrives at all, the parent trying to decode a kid who doesn't run on the standard operating system. Therapy with me is practical. We figure out how your particular brain actually works, then build strategies around it instead of forcing it into shapes that never fit. The goal: less overwhelm, more traction, and a daily life that feels like yours.

You are someone who feels the world deeply and often carries the weight of cultural expectations that do not belong to you. Moving from India to Canada alone taught you how to survive, but perhaps you have forgotten how to just be. You might feel like you are constantly performing, or worse, like you are a "fixing" project that is never quite finished. You are ready to stop becoming what others want and start the journey of un-becoming everything that is not really you. You are looking for someone to help you listen to your heart in a world that is often too loud.

You may be feeling disconnected from your partner, stuck in recurring conflict, or unsure how to repair trust after hurt or emotional distance.

You may notice the same patterns repeating and want help understanding what is happening beneath the surface. Ultimately, you want more emotional closeness, clearer communication, and a relationship that feels secure, respectful, and supportive rather than exhausting, tense, or confusing.

You were never meant to carry it all alone. Some days, the weight of old wounds, unkind inner voices, and invisible expectations can feel like too much to hold. In our work together, I offer a space where your story is welcomed in its entirety - the raw, the vulnerable, and the real. I will meet you with warmth, compassion, and curiosity, while gently supporting you in stepping into new possibilities that feel right for you.

Beginning counselling is an intimidating process and I congratulate you for making it this far! Good job! Counselling offers a space for growth, stabilization, recovery, healing, and connection. I believe that much of human suffering is the result of disconnection and loneliness. As humans, we require connection. When we do not have this or we fear our connection is under threat, we respond. In counselling, we can explore this response to better understand our patterns and why we often find ourselves stuck, isolated, and distraught.
