Therapists in Hamilton, ON
I spent about 10 years in the highest burnout sectors of social work. From this experience, I have developed a keen trauma-informed perspective, supporting populations navigating systemic barriers and compounded complex mental health. I have also worked with a large breadth of mental health diagnoses, within every category of the DSM, from a client-centered and strengths based framework. With this experience, and practicing therapy modalities that are transferable to various mental health difficulties, I would say that I am a generalist.

I provide a safe place for clients to share their most vulnerable thoughts, feelings, and experiences. I help you figure out what is keeping you stuck and work with you toward the goals that you believe will make your life more fulfilling. I do this by helping you challenge thoughts and beliefs that leave you feeling sad or anxious, helping you understand and share your emotions with others, and by aiding you in changing behaviours you no longer find useful. I use a combination of Emotionally Focused Therapy and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy.

You might be carrying a lot—trauma that lingers, a brain that works differently (hello, ADHD), or the weight of navigating cultural or racial identity in spaces that don’t always get it. Maybe you’ve felt like you’re too much and not enough at the same time. You might want to feel more grounded, build better boundaries, unlearn shame, or just make sense of your story. If you are from a South Asian (or similar) culture, or neurodivergent, or simply feeling out of sync, I offer a space where you don’t have to explain the basics—you can just be.

Anxiety, relationship struggles, overwhelm or big life changes can make even the simplest things feel hard - sleeping, socializing, feeling confident in yourself. You might be trying to improve, but still feel stuck, overwhelmed, or disconnected from who you used to be. Maybe you can't remember what life felt like without anxiety. But you’re ready for a change. You want better routines, more confidence, and to stop letting anxiety call the shots. Most of all, you want to feel like you again—and reconnect with what matters most. I’m here to help you get there.

Is life feeling overwhelming? Are you struggling to find motivation to do simple tasks, or the idea of doing ‘all the things’ just increases your stress and anxiety? Perhaps you find yourself needing to distract with substances, social media, or by binge watching your favourite TV show, only to find that these activities are not actually making you feel better in the long run. Maybe you are already wanting to explore the underlying causes of what has gotten you off track but don’t know where to start.
