It's time to break the stigma. South Asian mental health is often overlooked and stigmatized by cultural and religious upbringing and family expectations. Shanti Psychotherapy was founded to create a collective of like minded and skilled therapists. Our intention is to help our community break free of the stigma associated with mental health issues, and to offer a comfortable, compassionate therapy experience.

We all struggle in invisible ways as our lives become inhibited by pressures and expectations of the day to day. We are often further debilitated by our less than perfect past, where old hurts and abandon influence our current choices. Most impacted are our relationships, our work, and our connection to the self. I believe therapy gives us the opportunity to both accept what was and is, and through growth orienting processes help us recreate ourselves into versions that feel more aligned with who we would like to become.

Have you told yourself: NO MORE, and are interested in breaking intergenerational cycles or patterns of behaviour that no longer serve you? My experience lies in working alongside of those interested in making sense of their complex childhoods, while breaking unwanted patterns to feel free from them. With extensive experience in trauma (physical and/or sexual abuse, assault, relational despair), if interested in meeting to explore what you are looking to attain, I look forward to hearing from you.

Since 2018, I’ve worked with those who have experienced trauma, including attachment, abuse, and assault, as well as those seeking support for emotional distress, interpersonal relationships, self-esteem, and personality disorders, among others.The effects of trauma can leave us feeling vulnerable and unsafe long after the event itself. So often people can be left feeling fearful, hopeless, disconnected, and ashamed. I hope to guide you through your journey of healing these wounds and empower you to become your most authentic self. My practice is inclusive and integrative, ensuring that approaches are tailored to unique individuals.

My belief is that people come to therapy to have an experience that is markedly different from what they encounter in their daily life. My training and experience allow me to have the tools to provide an opportunity for that different experience, whether it is getting relief from anxiety, finding grace and gratitude in the midst of grief, or gaining clarity and calm in a situation of overwhelm and confusion. We work collaboratively and creatively to uncover the root causes of your distress or dissatisfaction, and address them without re-traumatization. Our work together is safe, deep, transformative, and often spontaneously joyous.

We often come to therapy wanting to feel better, perhaps to change old patterns that don’t align with the vision we have for our lives. Anxiety, depression, anger, PTSD, or personality disruption, difficulty in relationships and addiction are symptoms arising from deeper core (shame-based) wounds. These problematic symptoms surface as a way to cover up painful, enmeshed emotions that are unseen and unheard. I therefore aim to go to the source not the symptom: I specialize in emotion, in building self-compassion, and addressing toxic shame.
