If you're a South Asian couple/individual (ages 22 to 35) attempting to navigate challenges in your relationship, I see and hear where you're coming from. Besides the standard relationship challenges most people face, you are probably also navigating complexities around family & cultural expectations along with the different ways you or your partner's upbringing may be impacting how you show up in your relationship. This in turn could be bringing up emotions for you and your partner such as fear, resentment, loneliness or guilt. You might also feel stuck on who to turn to with your challenges due to the fear of being judged.

If you feel curious or connected to me or my practice, please email me with any questions or to introduce yourself! I am a white settler and a trans man.
I help people recover from trauma using Somatic Experiencing and adapted Internal Family Systems. I work with people who are plural or systems, Autistic, or survivors of religious, medical, or sexual violence. I prioritize transgender, 2S, and nonbinary survivors. I am open to everyone. From a Somatic Experiencing perspective, trauma is energy trapped in the nervous system caused by incomplete protective responses. Sensations are the language of the nervous system. I will guide you to notice and listen to your body's sensations so that you can regulate your nervous system and grow your capacity to feel presence, joy, and relief.

I’ve helped many people overcome challenging problems around mental health, addiction, relationships, and much more.
Feeling stuck? Are things getting worse? If you’ve been struggling to live your best life, connect with the people you love, and be the best ‘you’ possible, I can help you to make real and lasting changes. My approach is simple: First, we get clear on who and what matters most to you. Next, we figure out what gets in the way of you moving towards who and what matters. Then we take a good look at the ways you’ve been dealing with these obstacles—and why many of them don’t seem to be working. Finally, we look for better ways to overcome these obstacles, and get you steadily moving in the direction of who and what matters.

As a mental health survivor, person living with autism, caregiver to those living with dementia, autism, mental health, and intellectual disabilities I have a personal understanding of many struggles many face.
As individuals living in an often harsh world, often pushed to and fro from external and internal influences, we all will need at some point an anchor to ground ourselves. It should be the right of every individual to have the firm foundation to build on and achieve their greatest potential. We know that we can not grow to become our best selves in a vacuum. Just as building a strong foundation for a building required a group of skilled artisans so too do we as individuals need a strong skilled support network as none of us can succeed alone.

You put others first, are kind, hard working, and attuned to the world around you. But what people don’t see is the struggle within. Familiar feelings of guilt, self-doubt, indecision, and inadequacy hover just below the surface. The longer you stay the course, the more invisible you become in your own life. You’ve bottled up your feelings and needs for too long - it's time for change. You don’t have to remain a prisoner to your past, the perceived expectations of others, or to "towing the line" of social norms. I’m here to help you find your voice, sense of self, and to create fulfillment in your life & relationships.

Male Counsellors
As a man, why might I want to see a male therapist?
There are many reasons a man might wish to work with a male therapist, including a degree of shared identity, which may help client and therapist connect to each other and allow for a more free-flowing discussion of issues that can be deeply personal. Some men may feel more comfortable talking to a male therapist about relationship concerns, the pressures they feel around the roles society and family place on men, career or job challenges, self-esteem, or anger problems. For some men who have not had a male role models in their lives, a good male therapist may be especially helpful.
How can I find out about a therapist’s experience treating men?
Individuals looking for treatment should feel comfortable directly asking a therapist about their history treating men overall and the issues that arise in therapy with men. A good therapist will be happy to discuss such matters as well as their educational background, approach to treatment, and how they think they can aid a prospective client. Prospective clients should also ask what the expectation is for treatment, and what the fee structure is, and whether and which insurance plans are accepted.
Can clients benefit from having a therapist of the same gender?
Therapy is not gender-specific, but some men as well as women feel more comfortable opening up about their experiences and history with a male therapist. An individual may feel that they have to explain less background information and be on the same page more quickly, particularly when discussing gender-specific challenges, in the case of male clients. Some women have prior negative experiences with women that predispose them to prefer working with a male in therapy. That said, a good clinician can transcend most if not all gender concerns. Ultimately, the most important factor in therapy is the connection and trust the client is able to build with the practitioner.
Would a male therapist have specific training in treating men?
Generally, no. There are no certifications for treating men specifically, but there are continuing education classes that therapists may take that focus on treating men as a group. There are many therapists who focus on men and male issues in their treatment and therefore have experience and expertise in this domain.
