Imagine a relationship without the drama, or finally feeling comfortable in your own skin. Let’s get you there.

Together we can prioritize issues so that you can become the best version of yourself - your authentic true self.. I have lived experience with ADHD. Coping strategies help alot.

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.

Strained relationships; overwhelming anxiety; existential loneliness; chronic shame; feeling inherently broken and unlovable; burnout: if you're neurodiverse, these experiences may be familiar to you. The good news? You don’t have to feel that way forever. You can have a life where you feel connected to the world around you, nurture happy and healthy relationships, and communicate through overwhelm and activation. I provide counselling for individuals and couples struggling with trauma and related conflict and communication issues, attachment/relational wounds, burnout, and grief. I also work with LGBTQIA+ and non-monogamous folks.

You've done the work. Read the books, gone to therapy, maybe even had powerful insights. And still, something doesn't fully shift.
On the surface, your life works. You're capable and self-aware. But underneath, shame still lingers. Old patterns still repeat. Burnout still creeps in. There's a persistent sense that you're not fully inhabiting your own life.
This isn't a failure of insight. It's often a sign that healing asks for more than understanding alone.
I work with thoughtful, reflective adults who are ready for therapy that doesn't just make sense, it changes how it feels to be them.

Many of us spend years becoming who others need us to be. Then one day, something changes. A relationship ends, our identity shifts, loss reshapes us, or we realize the life we built no longer feels like our own. I support individuals navigating life transitions, identity exploration, relationship challenges, trauma, burnout, and grief. Together, we can slow things down, make sense of your experiences, and reconnect with the parts of yourself that may have been forgotten, hidden, or lost along the way.

You are someone who handles things. You always have. But lately, handling things has started to feel like surviving them and you are tired of surviving.
The stress has become structural. The anxiety lives in your body now, not just your mind. You push through because stopping feels impossible. You push through because everything you have built depends on you continuing to function. You are not broken. You are a high-performing person carrying more than high performance was designed to hold.
