The first step is the hardest, Im here to walk with you (and your family), though issues regarding anxiety, depression, ADHD, BI-Polar, addiction, family issues and informed trauma care.

The reasons why people attend counselling and therapy are as varied as people themselves.

Whatever the concern, my clients are seeking professional support, to feel cared for and understood, to facilitate their ability to cope with their current situation, and desire someone to come alongside them as they determine how to go on. The clients I see are suffering from the weight of mental illness, feeling in the dark places of depression, the restlessness of anxiety, the inescapability of trauma, the helplessness with chronic pain, as well as other debilitating emotional challenges. I also see couples who are facing disruption in their connection, as well as clients adjusting to various changes in their lives.

Life presents us with many challenges. Managing these challenges can be overwhelming. Learning to cope, navigate and manage with life’s stressors isn’t always obvious.

If you're a South Asian young professional (ages 22 to 35) attempting to navigate challenges around self-esteem, anxiety or relationships, I see and hear where you're coming from. Although you may view the world from a primarily western lens, you're probably still navigating life between two worlds. This can often involve trying to meet expectations that you've internalized over many years along with managing feelings of loneliness, shame and resentment. In some cases, you may try to find relief from these difficult emotions by overusing social media, watching hours of entertainment or using food as an escape.

I feel there is no one right path for self exploration. Some have that space via reading, spirituality, writing or something else. And for some it can take the form of therapy which is not just problem focused but rather person focused. At times, the motivation for self exploration comes from painful life events occurring outside us or other times it could be the overwhelming emotions building up within us. It can also be difficult to distinguish oneself from one’s difficulties and as a therapist I try to join you in your dialogue, confusion & difficulties. Therapy space is unique for it preserves space for the unspoken words too.
