What if the shame and guilt you carry about your own existence were never yours to hold? You may understand why you react the way you do, yet still feel overwhelmed, disconnected, or stuck in painful relationship patterns. Past experiences can continue to affect trust, self-worth, grief, and emotional safety long after the events themselves have ended. I work with adults experiencing attachment wounds, childhood trauma, ADHD, and complicated grief. I help adults and couples slow down, feel safe, understand their patterns, and build healthier relationships through trauma-informed therapy in-person in Vaughan and Online.

I believe each of us possesses a unique set of strengths and qualities that make us special, powerful, and capable of growth. When we feel stuck, overwhelmed, or disconnected from ourselves or others around us, it is easy to lose sight of these qualities and even to forget what makes life meaningful to us. As a therapist, my goal is to walk alongside you on your journey of self-discovery and healing, supporting you through the process of reconnecting with what is most valuable to you and embracing the unique strengths that make you who you are.

Registered Psychotherapist (Qualifying), MA
Vaughan, ON L4K
Accepting New Clients. Most people arrive believing something in them (or between them) is broken. Usually it isn’t. What has broken down is a way of relating that worked for years and has stopped working now. I work with couples, families, and individuals facing recurring conflict, emotional distance, or a decision that cannot be made. I also work with anxiety, burnout, grief, and periods when a person’s usual way of living has stopped working.

You grew up in a house where two worlds lived under one roof, and you learned early how to move between them. You translated for your parents, kept the peace at family gatherings, and figured out on your own what nobody had the words to explain. Now you are an adult, maybe still living at home, maybe in a relationship where your partner gets some of it but not all of it, and the weight of holding it all is starting to show. I offer therapy in English, Tamil, and French, so some things do not have to be translated at all.

You might feel overwhelmed, stuck, or not quite like yourself right now. Whether things look “together” on the outside or not, you may be carrying anxiety, self-doubt, or overthinking. When I look at you, I see you not as something to fix, but as someone deeply shaped by your particular experiences, relationships, and context. Together, we will create a space where you can feel genuinely heard and safe to explore what’s been coming up for you, so you can begin to reconnect with yourself in a more compassionate and meaningful way.

Are you feeling stuck between life stages....unsure of who you are or where you're headed? Life transitions can be overwhelming, but you don’t have to figure it all out alone. As a young man myself, I understand how easy it is to push things aside or feel like you have to handle everything on your own. Whether you're navigating life after high school, adjusting to university or work, or just figuring out who you are, I offer a space that’s low-pressure, supportive, and free of judgment. You don’t need to have it all together to start. While our challenges may differ, we all share a need to feel seen, understood, and accepted.

I work with clients managing bipolar disorder, OCD, CPTSD, PTSD, and relational issues, offering a space that meets you with honesty and zero judgment. I also provide sex therapy, exploring desire, intimacy, communication, and sexual functioning, and support couples through ENM, relational repair, and everything in between. You deserve care that sees all of you.

You're smart, successful, driven - but you're stuck. On the outside nobody would guess it, but on the inside you feel torn apart. Your anxiety is relentless, your inner critic berates your every word, you can never get caught up on your to-do list, and no matter how much praise you get - you simply don't believe it. You wonder if you have anxiety, or maybe it's ADHD, or maybe even depression or past trauma. You definitely know you can't relax, it's hard to even stay still. You've read the self-help books, tried meditation, mental health walks, journaling...You know at the core you need to "love yourself", but truly don't know how
