A caring couples therapist & psychotherapist (SouthAsian/Canadian), with a blended understanding of psychology & relationships. I listen deeply & hope to make you feel seen. What we do is a response to life (the past impacts us in present) & once we understand and honor that wisdom, we can let go. I invite you to learn the vicious cycles and patterns, see unmet needs and suppressed emotions. I will be a mirror/staunch supporter/fellow traveller, as you embark on journey to know, hold, and love yourself. We can work on communication, mistrust, loss of love, mis-attunement, trauma, injury, intimacy, transitions, anxiety, emotions etc.

Integrative relational therapist. Obsessed w/ neuroscience. Emotion is energy. I use EFT, parts work, trauma focussed, somatic approach-with a focus on you, your needs, context. I will see you, validate you, challenge you & humor you. I work holistically (mind, body, soul are one), build insights, educate, slow down, embody emotions & practice tools.

I believe that when we are accepted, we can allow ourselves to be imperfect, and slowly shift into authentic, intentional, and empowered living. In awe of the human spirit and resilience. I listen with empathy, compassion, curiosity. I slow things down; so we can feel, rather than think. You can reach out for a 15-minute free consultation. Have a good day.

Keen to work with clients experiencing relational distress as a result of childhood trauma. In therapy, you will learn to support your bodies out of the survival state it is stuck in, feeling and releasing emotions, feel grounded, build emotion regulation capacities, unlearn unhelpful self-preservation, and generalise these into your everyday life, all while honoring your emotions and experiences.

I like to start with the simple interventions, gradually going deeper as we understand ourselves better. Process-oriented sessions with combination of talk therapy, learning to listen and attend to the innate wisdom of our bodies, somatic exercises, roleplay, behavioural experiments, skill building etc. I often interrupt challenging exchanges between couples and encourage accountability.
