Therapists in L7L

You might be looking to increase psychological fitness, or make sense of past wounds, or make a change in your present way of being in the world – I offer a safe, non judgmental and supportive space to facilitate your healing. My work is to help you experience who you truly are, harness your personal strength and overcome your challenges. I work with a firm belief in the resilience of the human spirit and this belief is supported by a solid educational base, a multi-cultural variety of life experience, and a range of counselling skills and tools that makes it possible for me to meet your individual needs.

Feeling like life's a rollercoaster you can't get off? Anxiety, ADHD, people-pleasing—everything's hitting you at once. Relationships are rocky, figuring out who you are feels like a puzzle, and work's just exhausting. But deep down, you know you're capable of more and want more than just chaos. You crave clarity, peace, and the skills to handle life's ups and downs with confidence. If this sounds like you, you're in the right place. Together, we'll delve into the root causes, embrace the messiness of being human, and navigate this journey side by side. Remember, seeking help is a sign of strength, not weakness.

When life gets messy, we all sometimes need a little help along the way. I walk with you, listen, help you get in touch with your inner wisdom, and find the next steps on your path to your best “you.” If you struggle with relationships, grief and loss, major life change, new diagnosis or palliative illness, spiritual issues, or feeling stuck, you may want to choose me as your therapist. I especially understand the needs of those providing care to others--caregivers, first responders, faith leaders, and health professionals.

Are you having difficulty feeling balanced in your daily life? Do you feel like there aren’t enough hours in a day? You've got so much going on, but so many things keep getting in the way. You're feeling overwhelmed or like you don’t know what you’re doing. You're scattered, anxious, and feel like you can't keep your head above water. You’re ready for a change.

Reaching out for support can be a very challenging task but it is also the first step to get you closer to living your preferred life. In therapy, we will work together to clarify your life's vision, explore what is getting in the way of you reaching your goals, identify what skills and strengths you have to overcome these barriers, while also learning new skills and ways of thinking. During this process, I am committed to creating a respectful space where you will feel heard, acknowledged, supported and understood. I work with clients of all ages, backgrounds and identities and strive to create a safe and inclusive space for all.

At the heart of it, I'm a people-person who’s passionate about self-development and empowering others to lead a life to their fullest capabilities, no matter what circumstances look like. I'm a second-generation South Asian female that has had to navigate through many different cultural challenges, so I understands the difficulties that come with needing to hold different identities, all at once. This is why I make sure that my full attention is on you during sessions, ensuring that I'm bringing compassion, vulnerability and a completely unbiased view.

My goal is to create a safe space for you to explore your current challenges, while empowering you to heal and understand your true self.

To me, expressing and uncovering needs and creating boundaries are an imperative practice in therapy. I believe life experiences have great impact in shaping our views of the world and will collaborate with you to find your own unique path of growth and change. I hold an anti-oppressive stance, so that you can feel validated and safely explore your experiences.

No WAIT List! Do you feel like you are struggling, been treading water, floundering for the last few months, maybe even years? Have big life transitions- illness, career, marriage, divorce, care-giving, or just moving from one stage of life to another keep you up at night thinking about the worst case scenario? Do you drag yourself out of bed each day feeling like you are carrying the weight of the world on your shoulders, and trying to figure out how you are going to do it all, and do it right? Do you ‘should’ yourself until your brain buzzes with an unending list of things that you aren’t doing and think you 'should' be.
