Punjabi-Speaking Therapists in Victoria, BC
Are you looking for someone you can be real with—someone who doesn’t just nod or offer clichés, but helps you look deeper? Maybe you’re feeling anxious, overwhelmed, or stuck in a life phase, relationship, or work pattern that no longer feels right. I believe growth happens when we’re brave enough to get curious about ourselves and face the hard truths with compassion. We’ll explore what’s holding you back, rediscover your strengths, and create sustainable change that feels authentic, empowered, and wholly yours. The process will help you shed what doesn’t feel true to you anymore and nurture the best parts caringly.

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.

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 work with women in the perinatal and postpartum period who want to talk about the mental load, invisible labor, relationship shifts, grief for who they used to be, and pressure to be everything for everyone. Becoming a parent changes everything - your body, relationships, identity, and expectations. Yet many moms feel they must “handle it” quietly. Therapy here looks different: honest, real, and supportive. This is a space where you don’t have to sugarcoat it. We can hold the hard stuff and laugh along the way.

I am offering counselling services in both English and Punjabi.
Hello! As a South Asian woman of colour, I have grown up and experienced living in a multicultural society, balancing the different identities that may come from being a child of immigrants as well as having peers of differing backgrounds. This has helped me develop a unique understanding of the experiences of those similar and different to me. I understand that our cultural upbringings, beliefs, and values may both help and hinder us in some ways as we grow into who we are today. We are made up of so many parts that make us who we are, and that is so important to understand and work with for your mental health and wellbeing.

My work is centred from an intersectional feminist approach to therapy, drawing from somatics, narrative and evidence based practices. My approach is to support individuals to build upon existing strengths and daily practices to ensure that they have the tools to live their life in alignment with their own values and desires. I see my role as creating a container to support a person in developing deeper accountability and consent in their relationship with themselves and with others. With over 20 years of experience working in community mentl health I bring practical skills and resources to my practice alongside decolonial tools.

Some people carry the weight of two worlds, the one they were born into and the one they’re trying to build. They’ve spent years untangling guilt from love, expectation from identity, and silence from peace. These are the folks who crave emotional clarity, grounded boundaries, and a life that finally feels like theirs.

My approach to therapy is grounded in curiosity, compassion, and cultural responsiveness. I believe in meeting each client where they are, honoring the uniqueness of their story and lived experiences.
