As a mental health therapist, I help people experiencing distress enhance their sense of personal wellbeing and overall happiness. Over the years I have worked with adults, youth and families experiencing struggles with anxiety, depression, suicidal ideations, stress, relationship conflict, divorce and unresolved family issues.

We're here to work with children, teens and adults who want to overcome anxiety, depression, and the impact of challenging life experiences. We understand that mental health problems rob people of the chance to experience all that life has to offer, and we help our clients move their lives towards autonomy, engagement, healthy problem-solving, coping, and healthy relationships.

We all carry things that weigh us down. The stressors of everyday life, big or small and they impact us more than we realize. Each of us is holding onto things that we just need to talk about. It is crucial to have a space where we can do that. Somewhere where we can unpack the things that weigh us down to help us move forward, stronger and more equipped to handle whatever life throws our way. Therapy is invaluable for many. It gives us an outlet where we are understood, and heard by someone who has our back every step of the way. In me you will find a therapist who is compassionate, and empathetic to what you share with me.

I provide individual, couples & family therapy. Do you feel burdened by your thoughts? Are feeling overwhelmed? Do you find it challenging to fall asleep at night? Do you wish that you could just turn your mind off, to finally get a few moments of peace? I can help you take your life back, feel better, experience ease of being and get more restful sleep. I help individuals overcome anxiety, depression, burnout, overwhelm & stress. I also help couples who have many unmet needs; feel frustrated, resentful & angry in their relationship; struggle to communicate effectively; no longer experience intimacy or have lost trust.

We each have a story, what’s yours? I would be honored to hold space with you, to hear that story. All too often this is too hard for us to do on our own. As a natural helper, I’m here to listen, support and reflect while you explore your narrative. In our time together, you will have the openness to unfold and unpack, enlighten and transform, all those thoughts, emotions and situations that you have been holding onto. I trust in the heart of talk therapy, where we can have an authentic conversation. I believe that individuals can thrive, that they have the tenacity and will power to make the necessary changes to their lives.

Couples often find themselves facing a myriad of challenges as they navigate the intricate terrain of a relationship. Communication breakdowns stand as one of the most common hurdles, where misunderstandings and misinterpretations can erode trust and intimacy. Trust issues, stemming from past experiences or breaches of confidence, can cast long shadows over a partnership, making it challenging to fully open up to one another. Financial stresses, from managing joint finances to differing spending habits, can introduce strain into a relationship.

Trauma & painful early life experiences can get in the way of being able to enjoy our lives today.If you are suffering from PTSD, childhood trauma, persistent anxiety or depression, relationship breakdown or chronic stress, I can help. I am a trauma specialist and will help you to rebuild your life. I have extensive experience with First Responders, including physicians, and I will help you to feel safe and heard. First responders are seen ASAP. If you want to experience profound change, healthy relationships & trauma healing, I can help.

I am accepting new clients for individual, couples and family therapy via phone and video. Next day appointments available. I offer free consultations to ensure good fit. Daytime & evening openings. I look forward to hearing from you!

Counselling can be seen as planting a seed that, with nurturing and attention, will grow into something beautiful. Every individual is akin to a seed that undergoes continual growth, advancing through each fleeting season filled with moments of happiness, sorrows, triumphs, bravery, disappointments, and fresh starts. Like seeds, humans require sources and resources to aid them in reaching their full potential, such as sunlight, rain, and soil. And just like every seed holds importance, every human being also possesses inherent value. By choosing to seek counseling, you have taken the first step towards transformation.

Welcome! It seems that you may be struggling with life challenges at the moment (i.e., relationship issues, work issues, loss, etc.), or, perhaps, anxiety, unwelcome thoughts, or apathy are getting in the way of you having the life you want. These are some of the common issues that people bring to my office. I have experience working with individuals, couples and groups, and I draw from extensive professional training to ensure you reach your desired outcome. This could include moving through old and/or new issues, making changes, improving relationships, increasing your vitality.

How would it feel if you didn't have to tolerate challenges in your mental health anymore? Would you have more capacity for yourself and your loved ones? Would you have more energy to devote to the things that bring you joy? Whether it be a life transition, anxiety, depression, grief, trauma, or relationship issues, I help my clients work through their concerns by providing them with support and strategies to help them towards their goals. I use my own lived experience of being a 2nd generation Canadian and a South Asian woman, along with the breadth of experience that I have to support the work we will do together.

Are you feeling overwhelmed by the constant noise and chaos in your mind, struggling to stay focused and manage your day-to-day tasks? Does anxiety often creep in, making tasks that should be simple become nerve-wracking and intimidating? These struggles may even strain your relationship or friendships - especially if they just don't understand why these seemingly simple tasks are so hard for you. We've seen many people who were also fighting this exhausting and constant battle against overwhelm and worry, and we can teach you the tools to overcome these challenges and regain control of your life.

There are times when life experiences overwhelm our ability to cope, and it is a courageous act to seek help and support. I believe therapy should be a collaborative and creative process between client and therapist that involves all aspects of oneself, so that wellness can be experienced in an integrated and sustainable way. Working in the field of holistic wellness for the past seven years, with a specific emphasis on mental health and trauma-informed practices, I am committed to creating supportive spaces for individuals to deepen their relationship with themselves and expand their capacity to engage with life.

I'm on a mission to make safe and welcoming spaces for people seeking support. I'm trained as a counseling psychologist with over 10 years of experience helping people in places like hospitals, schools, child protection, and community programs. I believe counseling should be easy to access and affordable for everyone. My goal is to support individuals and make sure they feel heard and understood.

I am dedicated to helping children and teens navigate the challenges of growing up in today’s complex world. With many years of experience working with children and adolescents, I offer a safe, supportive, and non-judgmental space where young people can express themselves freely and work through their difficulties. My goal is to empower children and teens to develop resilience, self-awareness, and coping skills that will serve them throughout their lives. Children and teens face many pressures, from academic stress to social dynamics and family changes. I am passionate about helping them find their voice and build confidence.

In order to feel safe and in control, you may have learned certain survival and coping strategies to keep you grounded. Perhaps you are a child of immigrants, struggling to exist between two cultures. Or maybe you were afraid to disappoint others and taught yourself to never have any needs or boundaries. These behaviours, while understandable, may no longer serve you in the ways that you need. Together, we can explore and unpack your life experiences, offer understanding and validation to the shutdown parts of you, and learn to take up space and exist in our world. Psychotherapy can promote healing, resiliency and self-empowerment.
