Therapists in Mississauga, ON

I am a Psychotherapist trained in Marriage and Family Therapy who is very passionate about helping couples and families reach their goals. I have worked with many different clients for the past 5 years. Regardless of what brings you to therapy, my hope is to help you strengthen relationships, make meaningful connections, feel better about navigating difficult situations, and help you make important decisions. My areas of focus are pre-marital work, relationship conflict, family conflict, and parenting.

***STILL OPEN FOR IN-PERSON GUELPH/MISSISSAUGA*** I believe that there is good in every person, and hope in every situation. I have helped hundreds of individuals, couples, and families heal, grow, and connect. As a relational therapist, I appreciate the impact that our relationships have on our well-being. I do not see clients as having something wrong with their minds that necessarily needs to be fixed. Rather, I see my clients as unique individuals, each with their own stories and perspectives, embedded in important relationships and contexts that impact them. I see strengths and I see hope, even when it feels like there is none.

As a registered marriage and family therapist, my commitment revolves around being a dedicated companion on the transformative journey of my clients. Rooted in genuine care and empathy, my approach addresses a spectrum of issues such as relationship dynamics, communication hurdles, anxiety, depression, and life transitions. I possess a unique ability to grasp the big picture, delving into the intricate web of emotions and relationships that shape individuals and families.

I have a particular interest in helping clients understand and explore their emotional experiences. I have experience supporting both adolescent and adult populations struggling with anxiety, depression, low self-esteem, general life stressors, academic issues, self-harm and suicidal ideation. I have also supported individuals struggling with interpersonal relationships such as difficulty with friendships and family.

Throughout life, we all encounter challenges - some predictable, others unexpected. These events can have both positive and negative effects, and it's not uncommon to require additional support to find the resources, skills and guidance we need to move beyond them. That's where I come in. I believe that everyone has the necessary tools needed to achieve growth and healing, even when it may seem uncomfortable or challenging. I believe that every client is unique, and I always strive to tailor my approach to meet each individual's experience, goals, and needs.

If you're a South Asian couple (ages 22 to 35) attempting to navigate challenges in your relationship, I see and hear where you're coming from. Although you may have similar relationship desires to other couples, you are probably also navigating complexities around family & cultural expectations along with the different ways you or your partner's upbringing may be impacting how you show up in your relationship. This in turn could be bringing up a mix of emotions for you and your partner such as resentment, loneliness or guilt. You might also feel stuck on where or who to turn to with your challenges due to the fear of being judged.

I am a Registered Psychotherapist with the CRPO. I obtained a Masters degree in Marriage and Family Therapy from the United States. My integrated psychotherapy approach for individual adults/teenagers, couples, and families combines relational, emotion-focused, attachment informed, trauma informed, and somatic elements. This comprehensive approach emphasizes the importance of your relationship with yourself and others, encourages emotional exploration, considers attachment histories, acknowledges trauma's impact, and fosters trust and positive self-esteem. It aims to promote individual/relational healing, inside and out.

I am a Registered Social Worker, Psychotherapist and Family Mediator with over 10 years of combined experience in hospitals, primary care and community settings. I practice from a trauma informed eclectic approach employing tools from multiple modalities including CBT, DBT and EFT.
