In Sanskrit, the human condition is known as "PurashArth" translated as the meaning of existence. That is we all want to be happy, we work towards being happy, and we seek eternal happiness. In my practice and personal lived experience, I have observed that we all have a desire to be 'seen', and 'heard', this is how we feel included. When these three are missing, we become stuck here and do not know how to step out into our true Self. I strongly believe that once we make that choice to seek our true Self, together the therapist and client evolve toward their goals. To find that peace and joy that is not in the far distance but here.

Do you ever wonder who you’re expected to be in different spaces, or catch yourself thinking, “Am I too much? Not enough? Doing this all wrong?” Do you ever feel you don’t quite fit anywhere, always shifting, keeping it together, or being the steady one while everything around you keeps changing? Maybe you’re carrying expectations from your family, culture, or relationships that feel heavy, and confusing. If any of this sounds familiar, you don’t need the right words or to over-explain yourself to belong here. This is a place where you don’t have to perform or hold it all together, a space where you can be just be who you are.

Making meaning of our experiences can be challenging when we are faced with conflicting stories from our external environment and internal dialogue. The confusion can evoke many trauma-responses (search-for-safety-response) as our nervous system tries to self-soothe from what it believes to be safe. I provide space where we can make sense of these experiences together, while offering various evidence-based strategies to bridge that mind-body connection so my clients can build a better relationship with themselves and others.

I offer sessions in English, Hindi, and Gujarati, and enjoy working with clients navigating cultural expectations alongside life transitions, relationships, and personal growth.
Sometimes life feels like you’re carrying a backpack full of invisible weights. Anxiety, past experiences, expectations, that make even small steps feel heavy. Therapy can be the place to set that backpack down, take a breath, and figure out which weights to unpack first. I aim to create a space that feels alive, safe, and curious, where you can explore your experiences honestly and discover what moves you toward a more grounded, fulfilling life.

Life can feel overwhelming when anxiety, stress, trauma, relationship challenges, or past experiences begin to impact how you see yourself and the world around you. Many clients come to therapy feeling stuck, exhausted from carrying too much, or wanting to better understand themselves and their patterns. I provide a compassionate and supportive space where we can explore your experiences, build self-awareness, strengthen resilience, and move toward meaningful healing while honoring your unique story.

Hello, Assalamu Alaikum, Namaste, Sat Sri Akal—warm greetings from Anar Bhagudi!
May Peace Be With YOU! Amen!
How are you feeling today?
Let me tell you something!
Life can feel amazing at times and very difficult at others. It’s natural to feel stuck sometimes—because we are human, and humans experience many emotions, thoughts, and feelings. Some emotions can guide us, while others may feel overwhelming or upsetting. Do you ever feel this way?
You may have heard, “let it go” or “move forward.” But it’s hard to release something before you’ve had the chance to understand and process what you feel. Your life is precious!

You’re smart, self-aware, and you’ve done your best but you are still feeling stuck. Maybe it’s anxious thoughts, panic attacks, or a trauma that won’t let go. Maybe you’re tired of repeating the same patterns in your relationships, or you’ve tried talk therapy before and didn’t get the results you hoped for. You want therapy that works, and therapy that’s effective, efficient, and grounded in neuroscience. You’re ready for real relief, and lasting change. That’s what my team and I offer.

My experience with mental health and substance use-based concerns spans 10+ years- from working in Downtown Eastside shelters, to case managing vulnerable children/youth and families with Vancouver Coastal Health, I strive to support individuals from all walks of life towards healing and wellness. My orientation towards CBT, DBT, person-centered, and trauma-informed modalities guides my therapeutic work as I intend to meet clients where they are at. As a Punjabi-speaking South Asian woman, I aim to encourage open dialogue around the cultural complexities that come with merging Western and Eastern identities.

You may feel stuck in patterns of anxiety, depression, low self-esteem, relationship challenges, or the stress of life transitions. Perhaps you overthink, people-please, or struggle to express your needs, leaving you disconnected from yourself and others. Therapy can help you understand these patterns, reconnect with your authentic self, and develop skills to manage emotions, build confidence, and foster healthier, more fulfilling connections. I honour your cultural identity and lived experiences, creating a space where you can feel truly seen and understood.
