Life conflicts, trauma, and stress can steer us away from our core; it can also prevent us from living our best lives. Honoring your story and understanding how all of these hardships can impact your everyday life and your choices and life decisions is one of the effective ways to look inside ourselves. It will also provide you with a clear picture of what you are not satisfied with, what makes you stressed, and if your social relationships work for you or not.

In the course of our lives, we inevitably encounter challenging periods and we do our best to navigate with the resources that we have. When the pain and distress become too difficult to cope, having a safe space and a trusted therapist to talk to can help. Allow me the privilege of relieving some of the burden, thereby fostering space necessary for personal growth and a hopeful future.

I am a Registered Psychotherapist and Registered Counselling Supervisor. My practice is guided by extensive experience working with people coming from various socioeconomic backgrounds as well as many years of serving the most vulnerable communities in Vancouver’s DTES. While my approach is integrative of modern theories and techniques, it heavily relies on Psychodynamic theories and practice. Psychodynamic Psychotherapy is a highly individualized treatment whose goal is not only to alleviate the most obvious symptom. It relies on the fact that our personalities are uniquely shaped by several developmental stages.

If you have had some painful life experiences that are feeling difficult to process or simply need some support in managing day to day challenges, I would like to help. I work with grief, trauma, anxiety, family dynamics and relationship issues. I believe that if we allow space for our emotions and give the pain the attention it needs, we can experience some relief from that pain and find where the light can seep in. We then can build a life full of meaning and happiness.

You may be feeling overwhelmed, stuck in patterns that aren’t working, emotionally drained, or unsure of your next steps. I work with pre-teens, adolescents and adults navigating anxiety, depression, identity questions, life transitions, and the impacts of trauma. I also support neurodivergent individuals, including those with ADHD and autism. Many challenges develop in response to chronic stress, past experiences, or environments that haven’t felt supportive. Sometimes, it is simply a matter of developing the skills needed to cope effectively.

You’ve taken a courageous step in seeking support, and I’m glad you’re here. You are thoughtful, capable, and self-aware yet find yourself repeating familiar emotional or relational loops. Past trauma, cultural expectations, or personality dynamics can make change feel difficult. I help adults identify these patterns and shift them safely and effectively so they can move beyond coping and experience lasting transformation. My strong clinical lens allows me to provide highly specialized care, balancing evidence-based treatment with an understanding of South Asian cultural dynamics and intergenerational expectations.

Reaching out for therapy is a brave step. Life can feel overwhelming, and sometimes we can feel caught, like we don't understand why we feel the way we do or behave in certain ways. Our past experiences can create patterns and habits that might be impacting us in negative ways. Our past doesn't have to define our future. We can learn to slow down and expand our capacity to heal and grow. I work from a trauma-informed, and relational approach. I strive to create a supportive and warm environment where you can safely explore your emotions, take risks, and gain a deeper understanding of yourself.

It’s easy to get caught up in the noise - racing thoughts, endless tasks, expectations, trying to hold everything together. Life can start to feel like a loop of overwhelm, disconnection, and exhaustion. Maybe you feel like you’re always trying to keep up, always managing - but inside you feel out of control, misunderstood, disconnected from yourself, your body, your feelings, and the people around you. Pausing feels uncomfortable. And yet the pace you’ve been living at is unsustainable. I know this from my own experience navigating life as a highly sensitive person living with chronic health challenges.

I support those navigating the challenges of living in a world not designed with them in mind. If you are a person of colour, queer or trans, an immigrant or the child of one, neurodivergent — or all of the above — I know that your experiences of mental and emotional health are often inseparable from these realities. I also know that any effective therapy must hold space for that, without letting it define the fullness of your story. This understanding is at the heart of how I work.

I offer direct billing to Pacific Blue Cross (PBC) and ICBC.
I work with people through many stages of change — from feeling stuck, disconnected, or simply trying to get through the day, to those wanting to better manage challenges or enhance performance. Many are living with chronic stress, pain, injury, anxiety, depression, or neurological conditions looking for support in navigating these challenges and life transitions. As a former high-performance athlete living with chronic pain, I bring both clinical and personal insight into how physical health impacts mental health and identity.

Do people see you as capable and having it all together, while inside you feel alone, overwhelmed, or quietly afraid? Are you moving through a life transition, carrying stress or anxiety that never fully settles, or noticing that your relationships feel stuck, draining, or emotionally painful? Struggling does not mean you are failing. It often means you have been carrying too much for too long without enough space to be supported. You don't have to face this alone. A short, free consultation call offers a chance to feel seen, explore your next steps, and begin cultivating confidence, calm, and balance.

I am able to direct bill Telus Health, Canada Life , Pacific Blue Cross.
There is always space for growth and self-improvement. Reaching out is not always easy, and opening your heart during difficult times can feel overwhelming. You may be going through something you cannot share with anyone. Depression can pull you into dark places, and you may need support, guidance, and tools to understand what is happening. Life transitions can be challenging, and you may be longing for your life and relationships to move into a better place.

Have you ever found it challenging to reach out to others and express more fully what"s on your mind, what weighs on your heart? Have you ever felt the need to quit stewing in all these thoughts and feelings, and get them out so that you feel you've got a handle on them, so that you can accept them for what they are and can consider what they offer you moving forward? Have you ever felt that the people around you won't give you the space you need to sort things out in your own way? If so, you may find that the acceptant, non-judgmental, caring atmosphere of counselling that I aim to provide gives you the chance to do these things.

I work with men who feel the weight of responsibility and want clarity, direction, and stronger relationships. My counselling is rooted in existential analysis and logotherapy, offering practical, meaning-centered support without jargon or judgment. My background includes years in the trades, business ownership, teaching, and extensive work in men’s therapeutic settings. I help men move through stress, disconnection, pressure, and major life transitions toward a more grounded, steady, and meaningful way of living.
