You may be feeling disconnected from your partner, stuck in recurring conflict, or unsure how to repair trust after hurt or emotional distance. You might be navigating a major relationship transition such as commitment decisions, premarital preparation, separation, or rebuilding after betrayal. 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 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.

The Self calls to us in many ways. Life may feel destabilized, old patterns may be breaking, and a sense of urgency or confusion can arise. A crisis may reveal itself as significant relationship challenge, great loss, suicidal thoughts, loss of meaning, persistent anxiety, addiction, or simply an uncomfortable tug that persists no matter our efforts. These experiences are the psyches invitation into deeper awareness. My work offers a space to explore, attune, and integrate the deeper truths within you.

Are you in a relationship, knowing that something HAS to change, but don't know how to change it? It seems like you've tried everything, but you still feel unhappy, lonely, or trapped.
Or maybe you're trying to heal from a childhood of neglect and/or abuse. You know it's still affecting you, but you don't know how to fully heal. And, like many of my clients, maybe you're even asking yourself, "Why do I turn into my angsty 15-year-old self when I'm around my parents or siblings?"
Or perhaps you're coming out of a lifetime of high-control religion, and are starting to sort through the beliefs, subtle manipulation, & lost community.

Navigating a neurotypical world as a neurodivergent person can be overwhelming. Anxiety, depression, anger, and low self-esteem often stem from years of feeling misunderstood or unsupported in social, academic, or work environments. In therapy, we can explore your strengths, challenges, and goals—empowering you to work with your brain, not against it. I work with individuals with conditions such as ADHD and Autism (ASD) to establish coping strategies, gain personal insight and address lasting trauma.
