Having worked in educational and mental health organizations since 1996, I have extensive experience assisting older adolescents and young adults to manage their mental health, social development and learning needs while navigating the increasingly complex journey to adulthood. With a variety of evidence- based approaches, I assist clients to reduce impacts of symptoms, build skills and self confidence, and to develop their internal resources to become the creators of their lives; lives that bring fulfillment and that are aligned with their core interests, values and passions.

I have been working in the field for over 25 years, supporting people who are dealing with personal difficulties of different kinds: sadness, depression, sex and sexuality related issues, dating/intimacy/broken-heart, anxiety, trauma, grief, immigration and displacement related issues, existential and mid-life crises, or simply "figuring out" their life. I provide compassionate, empathic, non-judgemental, and both intellectually and emotionally rewarding therapy experience.

Are you successful outwardly, but deep down feel a nagging lack of personal fulfilment? Are you swamped with life, and wondering how to achieve more balance, meaning and purpose? Do you want to improve your emotional health and wellbeing, silence your Inner Critic and boost your self-confidence? Are you curious about this "mindfulness" thing that everyone is talking about these days? If so, let's work together! I primarily work with Millennials, Gen Y and Gen Xers who are feeling overwhelmed and dissatisfied with their lives, struggle with low self-esteem and self-worth, or facing difficulty with "adulting."

It's time to break the stigma. South Asian mental health is often overlooked and stigmatized by cultural and religious upbringing and family expectations. Shanti Psychotherapy was founded to create a collective of like minded and skilled therapists. Our intention is to help our community break free of the stigma associated with mental health issues, and to offer a comfortable, compassionate therapy experience.
