Stressed?? Anxious?? Depressed?? Are you struggling to find the right therapist? Feeling lost? All first sessions are FREE with no obligations. WHY? I am passionate about creating opportunities for healing centered around your unique needs! My personal philosophy is radical acceptance. I believe that most coping strategies (from perfectionism to addictions) actually enable survival to one's best ability. Reflect on how your personal coping methods enabled you to survive until this moment! I believe in honouring old patterns with awareness. We must recognize and accept what is holding us back in order to change it.

I work with adults who are feeling stressed: they may worry, panic or feel shy in social situations, may try to be perfect, may feel badly about themselves, or wish to express themselves more effectively, or to set clearer boundaries with others, or to be more assertive. I also work with people from the straight and LGBTQ communities who are experiencing challenges in their relationships, with sexuality, sexual orientation, alternative relationships, alternative sexualities, and gender. Many experience these challenges, but some may lose a sense of balance in their lives or the ability to enjoy life and relationships while trying to sort out their concerns.

My practice is steeped in compassion, understanding, connection, and hope.

I collaborate with clients to build a vision of their future and self, uncovering and developing the pathways needed to build these visions into reality and live out their hopes and values behaviourally.

Working alongside a therapist who can help you sort things out can be a game changer. Imagine a calm, supportive and confidential space where you share and the impact this can have on your wellbeing and your ability to achieve your goals.

Creating a safe and welcoming environment for you is my priority. Together, we can discuss your concerns, set goals, and work toward making those goals a reality. Throughout the healing process, I will seek to encourage, empower, and motivate you toward the change you hope to achieve.

What you are is what you have been. What you’ll be is what you do now. -Buddha Changes in our lives is one thing that is inevitable and guaranteed to happen. It can feel hard and overwhelming at times. Taking care of oneself is about treating and caring for our entire being-our emotional, mental, physical. Whether you are going through a separation/divorce, starting a new relationship, or dealing with the pressures of family and cultural expectations, you are not alone. As a South Asian woman I understand the impact culture (family/extended family, community, religion, gender roles) can have on our decision making and life choices.

At times we may feel stuck, as if something is standing in our way of change, of wellbeing, and we feel like we are facing a roadblock to a more fulfilling life. We may also be undergoing or carrying experiences that weigh us down, impact our relationships with ourselves and others, cause emotional pain, and blind us from seeing the path forward. Together, we will build a relationship of trust and understanding together as a solid foundation as healing happens through genuine connection with safe others. I believe you are the expert of your life, and you have the strengths and resources to achieve your goals.

Each of us has a unique story to tell. It captures the who, what, where, when, and why of our formative experiences and begins early on, when we are the most vulnerable. Many of us have learned to bottle it up. This “bottleneck” hardly leaves us feeling secure within ourselves or recognized by others. At some juncture, you may have rightfully tried speaking your truth to someone “safe.” But, instead of receiving empathy and compassion, you were ignored, belittled, berated. Ultimately, the feeling of being heard, understood and accepted is crucial for overall wellbeing. It paves the way for a life full of meaning and purpose.

Through his warmth, humour, and genuine care, Dan helps people from traditionally marginalized populations and those who feel they have been forgotten about or left behind in some way.

Change is an inevitable part of life, and while it is natural and we change in ways we desire and appreciate, life can demand that we change in ways that seem difficult or even impossible. We hope to experience excitement, confidence, clarity and good fortune, but are met with disappointment, pain, confusion, and loss. Our ways of coping, while effective at times, can become insufficient at other times. We handle distressing beliefs and burdens by turning to internet surfing, food, alcohol and drug use, porn and other pleasurable yet distracting activities that keep unwanted feelings at bay.
