Therapists in Calgary, AB

Does your anxiery, depression, weight concern, or emotions paralyze you? Much of the current research, including my own, shows that it's often in the on-going attempts to rid ourselves of "symptoms" that actually intensifies the problem. Often times it is these "avoidance" strategies that are largely responsible for keeping us trapped in an ongoing cycle of increased psychological suffering. Our anxiety, worry, unease and fears result in our living too much in the past or future. Through mindfulness and values-based living, we can work together to help you live a more authentic and present life.

With extensive experience in both psychology and human resources, I am your first choice in helping you on your road to success. I have a broad area of practice: I work as a counseling psychologist with individuals, couples and families with many types of life concerns. I also conduct career assessments for people making educational and occupational decisions, or for managers and employees seeking coaching.

It's not always easy to navigate life's challenges alone. Whether you're feeling overwhelmed by difficult emotions, wanting to make a change and don’t know where to start, or struggling to cope with unexpected events, reaching out for help can be a powerful act of self-care and courage. That's where I come in. I work through a holistic lens combined with scientific, evidence-based interventions, to help you reach your unique goals. I believe that each person possesses their own strengths and gifts, but sometimes we are blinded by past experiences or current challenges.

Maybe you are experiencing anxiety and depressive symptoms, sleep issues, grief, or at a spiritual intersection trying to understand your purpose in life.

Do you feel like you are living in misalignment with the things you care about? That you're living with unmet potential and spend time focusing on things that don't match your values? At work or in your relationships, this could be showing up as a big sense of distraction — even though you’re doing so much, it seems like you’re getting nowhere. You have high hopes and big dreams, but feel disconnected and stuck. Something might feel “off” and it’s hard for you to feel motivated to keep going through motions without procrastinating and delaying. I work with clients to improve their overall performance and life satisfaction.

I acknowledge how much strength and courage it takes to meet with a Psychologist to work through life's challenges. I recognize the importance of building a strong therapeutic connection that is client-centered, empathetic, respectful, and non-judgmental.

I started my practice to create a space that is healing, safe, and accepting to help you become more resilient, empowered, and content. Life is often difficult, confusing, and disappointing, but you are much more than your bad days, bad months or bad years. I believe that healing comes from recognizing your true self, living authentically, and balancing acceptance and change. With consistency and commitment, it is possible to break out of patterns that no longer serve a purpose. I offer a judgment-free space where I aim to support you in living the life you want, with peace and conviction. Your goals for yourself are within reach.

Life sometimes presents person with circumstances that are beyond one's capability to cope. Adversity may isolate the person and start to rule one's life. I first work to help you identify the strengths and talents you may have lost sight of. I will compassionately support you in taking steps toward well-being. I will respect your path and your pace as you discover approaches and coping strategies you haven't encountered before. Through trying out new approaches and deciding whether they are a fit for you or not, you'll become more experienced and a wiser life traveller.

Accepting new clients. My practice welcomes individuals and families from different cultural backgrounds and offers a safe place to work together, share experiences, and reconnecting to relationships that are meaningful. I believe that everybody has goals and dreams that they want to accomplish in life. However, sometimes we encounter stressors which interfere with our daily activities and relationships. I will work with you, using different approaches, to enable you to cope with the stressors that are getting in the way. I believe in resolving conflict, pursuing happiness, and preserving relationships.

Are you living in 2 worlds as a South Asian Canadian, hiding parts of your identity? This conflict leaves you experiencing guilt, shame, anxiety, a loss of autonomy and self, as you walk the tightrope of everybody's expectations of you. Growing up in a home environment that is completely different from your outside world can drastically impact your well-being and leave you asking “Who am I”? This can be exacerbated by enmeshed family dynamics. Culturally using your voice and setting boundaries feels selfish at first - but we can get you there together. You will learn and unlearn things as you proudly grow into your authentic self.

Are you stressed? Anxious? Are you often caught up in your painful past or worried about the uncertain future? You are reactive and take everything personally. You are irritated and restless.

Misery. I help people get unstuck. I help people improve their health and well-being, and overcome obstacles that are getting in the way of life. I provide practical tools to help you be present, open up, and do what matters.

In the safe space of counselling clients are able to explore themselves, their patterns, and life-obstacles in order to connect to their greater sense of purpose, wholeness, and groundedness.
