It takes incredible strength to reach out for help, and if you’re reading this, I applaud you for taking that first step. I see you, and I’m here for you if you’re feeling stuck with anxiety, depression, loss, loneliness, relationship challenges, or burnout. You’re not alone—many face uncertainty and overwhelm in tough times. As an immigrant myself, I also understand the complexities of cultural adaptation. Together, we can navigate these challenges, exploring and processing your emotions in a supportive environment where you can find healing and connection.

For the last 6 years, I have worked with survivors of trauma - including sexual violence, familial violence, racial trauma, homophobia, among others - to address and process their experiences. My approach to therapy is warm, responsive, playful and transparent. I believe that every person benefits from learning about themselves, and that understanding the process of therapy helps with learning about the self. I meet you where you are (literally, in some ways, as I am offering digital therapy), and believe we can move from there. I want therapy to be useful, and welcome honesty, feedback, and laughter in session.

Life can be challenging, leaving us feeling stuck, overwhelmed and pushed beyond our limits. From daily stresses and struggles to unexpected problems, we may not be aware of how these challenges impact us. In these moments, you may be in search of support, relief, change, growth or something different. Connecting with the right therapist to explore your needs is essential, and the relationship you develop is the most crucial aspect of therapy. I strive to offer you a safe, supportive, positive space to work through your challenges, understand your concerns and help you overcome the obstacles that come your way.

We all have our moments when we feel that we are in a rut, or feelings of anxiety and depression overwhelm us. Trauma, lack of self-confidence and trouble in relationships can also lead to stressors affecting our day to day life. As a South Asian immigrant, I not only understand these issues, but I am also able to comprehend the cultural complexities that surround them. Therapy may be an unfamiliar or overwhelming tool to use, keeping this in mind, I offer a judgement free and empathetic environment to feel safe in.

We all have different backgrounds and journeys that lead us to crossroads in life; some of us are hoping for relief, while others are searching for growth. When I get calls from clients looking for help, they don’t ask me what modality I use, instead they want to know who I am. Therapy is more about the relationship than the method, and this has been proven by research. I will apply my knowledge and expertise to help you navigate your psychological, emotional and relational issues with care. I have been helping people for over a decade in various capacities. We all have untapped resources and strengths waiting to be discovered.

Is everyone in the Psychology Today Therapy Directory a licensed therapist?
Most Counsellors and Psychotherapists listed in the directory are certified by one of the main professional associations, mainly the Canadian Counselling and Psychotherapy Association (CCPA), and will have a Certified Canadian Counsellor (CCC) designation with their name. Social Workers listed in the directory must be registered members of the college specific to their province. To be listed in the directory, Psychologists must be registered with the psychological college specific to their province or territory.
Providers whose professional membership or primary credential has been verified by Psychology Today are signified by a “Verified” symbol. Given the considerable variation in professional regulation and prerequisites across Canadian provinces, some providers may possess significant professional qualifications without necessarily holding professional memberships or being obliged to acquire them. As a result, they may be selectively included without the "Verified" seal.

What’s the difference between a psychologist, a therapist, and a counsellor?
Psychologists, counsellors, psychotherapists and social workers can all provide counselling or talking therapy and have credentials and supervised, practical experience that enable them to do so in Canada.
Psychologists have a master's and/or doctoral degree and have passed both written and oral exams. Psychologists are able to complete mental health assessments and provide diagnostic information to clients as well as provide counselling therapy or psychotherapy. Counsellors and psychotherapists are expected to have a master's or doctoral degree in counselling psychology, social work, or a related mental health discipline and certification by a professional association, such as the Canadian Counselling and Psychotherapy Association. Registered Social Workers possess a Bachelor's or Master's degree in Social Work and where possible must be licensed or certified by the provincial government and/or regulatory college.

What type of therapy is right for me?
The type of therapy best suited to a particular individual depends on several factors, including their primary reason for seeking therapy, their preferred timeline (some therapy types last for a set number of sessions, while others are open-ended), and their personality and preferences—some may prefer a more structured approach. For many individuals, multiple types of therapy could provide a good fit.
How much does therapy cost?
The cost of therapy depends on a number of variables, including location and the therapist’s experience and training. On average, the cost of a therapy session in Canada could be between $100 and $200. If you have insurance, the expense of mental health care is typically lower, but it varies based on your insurance plan details and whether you choose an in-network or out-of-network mental healthcare provider.
What are more affordable or low cost therapy solutions?
Many therapists offer sliding scale payments, usually on a limited number of slots, which consists in an agreement between the therapist and a client to pay a reduced rate. Therapists who provide such arrangements often consider the client's income or ability to pay, but the extent of the discount is ultimately at the therapist's discretion. Furthermore, while group therapy may have different goals and benefits compared to individual therapy, it can be a more affordable solution to address certain types of issues.
If you are struggling to access therapy due to budget constraints, you could also consider public funded mental health services. Some types of outpatient mental health services are covered by Medicare, provided these are performed by a licensed mental health professional in the provinces or territory you reside in and who accepts the assignment.

Is online therapy cheaper than in-person therapy?
Many therapists charge the same amount for online therapy as they do for in-person therapy—though clients may still find this cost-effective if it cuts down on their transportation costs. Health insurance plans often offer equivalent coverage for online and in-person therapy; indeed, in many places, they are legally required to do so. Text-based or on-demand therapy apps may be cheaper than traditional one-on-one psychotherapy; however, the practice may be less effective and is not likely to be covered by insurance.
Is online therapy a good option?
Therapy conducted online can be just as effective as in-person therapy, as long as there is a strong alliance between the client and the therapist. To find a therapist who provides telehealth services to clients in your area, click “Online Therapy” on the directory homepage and search by your city or town or your postal code.
Are therapy sessions confidential?
Professionals licensed by regulatory colleges and those certified by associations such as the Canadian Counselling and Psychotherapy Association are obligated to uphold client confidentiality unless there is a legal reason that requires them to disclose information. Confidentiality is a crucial part of the therapeutic relationship and only under specific circumstances, such as when there is the potential or known harm to the client or others, or a court order, will a therapist be obligated to break the agreement. These exceptions to the confidentiality agreement are usually discussed during the initial consultation.
