Are you looking for someone to lean on and share without judgment? My approach to therapy is listening with an open heart. There was a time I did not speak up and if I did, I thought people would be critical of me. I was extremely self-conscious, it took a crisis in my life to reach out for help. I am here today to tell you that this experience shifted my life tremendously. The crisis was an end of a relationship and a suicide in my family. I ended up going back to school after over 20’s years in the same job and I am a counsellor today. Choosing the right counsellor is important and this relationship should feel connective.

I am a trauma informed counsellor with learned and lived experience of trauma. My interest is personal and family relationships, race-based trauma, anger and anxiety. I have great listening skills, and I am also intuitive. We will work at your pace and direction and I will introduce new tools, and you can try them and see what works best for you.

In my downtime, I enjoy cooking, yoga, Reiki healing, exercise, learning and the company of family and friends. I speak both English and Punjabi. Please feel free to contact me if you are interested in my services. I like to have a 20-minute free introductory phone call beforehand. Let’s see if we are a fit!

I often explore your family systems to gain insight into your experiences and how they shape you as a person, as well as identify areas where you may face challenges. This foundational exploration will help me understand you better. In subsequent sessions, we will dive deeper into your current experiences and collaboratively work through various modalities that I use in my practice.
