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.

Feeling overwhelmed, disconnected, or stuck in old patterns? You might be dealing with anxiety, burnout, identity conflicts, people-pleasing, boundary struggles, relationship anxiety or limerence, cultural pressures, or big life changes.

I offer a warm, grounded, culturally aware environment where you can slow down, feel heard, and begin to make sense of what’s happening beneath the surface. This is a place where all parts of you are seen and respected.

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.

Perhaps you've had this experience: you understand your patterns, you know something about where they came from, you can explain them clearly to others—and yet the understanding hasn't translated into feeling or living differently. The anxiety persists. The relationship patterns repeat. Your body remains spring-loaded. You sense that something beyond insight is needed, and that the missing piece might involve working with what's happening in your body, not just your thoughts. You're looking for an approach that honours both your intelligence and your lived, felt experience.

With a broad base of life and work experiences, I counsel adults of all ages living with loss, trauma, mood imbalance, and anxiety. Three values guide my practice: connection, growth, and balance. A safe and trusting environment in counselling supports a therapeutic relationship, which can inspire changes in other relationships. Small changes can have a huge impact over time. Lifelong, each of us continues to develop, often learning from our mistakes and suffering. Balance is the key to health. There is healing power in the connections made between the body, heart, and mind.

I offer counseling services to individuals, couples and adolescents on Salt Spring Island and virtually across Canada and the United States. My work is personal, compassionate and direct. I stay close to my client’s experience, without judgment, pointing towards opportunities for growth. Life presents us all with challenges and sometimes we need help facing them.
