Family Therapy in Toronto, ON

Hello and welcome! I specialize in providing trauma-informed, culturally sensitive, anti-oppressive, and gender-affirming individual and couples therapy. In individual therapy, I aim to support racialized folks, women, immigrants, and members of the LGBTQI2S+ community who want to navigate interpersonal relationships, depression, anxiety, life transitions, and family dynamics. 
In couples therapy, I work with couples who are married, unmarried, or preparing to get married to navigate relationship distress and repair connection, with a special interest in helping folks navigate inter-racial/cultural relationships.

As a social worker, psychotherapist and a child of South Asian immigrants, my practice is informed by a broad range of clinical, academic and cultural experiences. I am an individual and family therapist , specializing in working with children, teens and adults. My expertise is in emotional regulation, low self-esteem, anxiety, depression, trauma, grief and loss.

I am currently a Masters level MA in Counselling Psychology practicum student who is qualified to practice onsite under the clinical supervision of an approved Supervisor. It is difficult to feel stuck in and overwhelmed by recurring issues in your life. I aim to create a safe environment for collaborative healing and growth. Whether you struggle with family dynamics, life transitions, emotional coping, or other difficult experiences, my approach focuses on helping foster curiosity to explore yourself, courage to face any challenges in your path, and the creativity it takes to discover unexpected solutions or resolution.

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.

My clients are ready to do the heartwork required to overcome hardship & forge a positive path for the future. Many of my clients come to my associates and me for support to heal from trauma and to navigate the justice system. I am passionate about healthy relationships (starting with self-love) & I teach individuals, couples, families, and professionals new strategies for clear & honest communication. I use EMDR and other interventions to help you move from surviving to thriving, and from Post-Traumatic Stress to Post-Traumatic Growth. I also provide trauma-informed education & consulting to journalists, lawyers, police & leaders.

Sometimes life gets difficult. You don’t have to weather the storm alone! I support individuals experiencing depression, anxiety, eating disorders, mood disorders, relationship and family issues and grief and loss. I believe that therapy is a collaborative process. I work relationally and strive to create a compassionate therapeutic environment that is always judgement free. Starting therapy can often feel daunting, overwhelming and uncomfortable. I am here to support you as you lean into those places of discomfort in order to better understand your emotions, experiences and coping mechanisms.

Life is ever changing, bringing unanticipated circumstances which may leave us feeling overwhelmed, anxious, depressed, and stressed. In addition to this, childhood trauma and family upbringing can also have long lasting effects on our choices as adults and the way in which we interact in relationships, preventing us from achieving fulfilment and healthy and positive connections with our partners and children. I can help you to develop tools that work for you to strengthen and drastically improve your self confidence, self image and relationship skills. I can help you understand and control feelings of anger, anxiety, depression, PTSD, Trauma, grief and much more.

I specialize in clients with relationship, self-esteem, anxiety, sex, body image and family dynamic challenges.

Some of us are born with really big emotions and they can be difficult to rein in. Being sensitive is a double-edged sword. It comes with an extraordinary capacity to be lively, connected with others, generate insights, and experience life with great intensity. However, without solid regulation skills, we can also suffer tremendously and get lost on our path. This might describe you or one (or more) of your children. It may feel like the relationships in your family are strained or chaotic – in a way that is hard to get out of. You are not alone!

I offer relational psychotherapy, a gentle, client-centred approach that provides space to explore issues creating difficulties for you, work to understand their roots, and support you in making the changes you wish to make.

For the past 13 years I have worked with youth and their families who are struggling with a variety of mental health issues or relationship difficulties. Often the clients I support are families who are experiencing conflict and whose members are feeling disconnected or teenagers and young adults who are struggling with intense emotions and are engaging in behaviours that are concerning to themselves or their caregivers. I work well with people who are interested in transforming themselves and their relationships rather than those who are focused on symptom reduction alone. I work with adults who have experienced childhood trauma.
