I trust pain is inevitable, but suffering is an option. In fact, what is right with us is greater than what is wrong with us. I help clients access their resilience, motivation, self-agency, self-determination, and inner goodness to reconstruct their narratives & live meaningful contented lives. I am Registered Psychotherapist; Registered Marriage & Family Therapist, & NIHB approved therapist (for Indigenous persons); working as a Clinical Therapist with CMHA. I have extensive experience in CBT, DBT, Couples Therapy, Sex Therapy (sexual dysfunction & sexual offence), Addictions (drugs, gambling), Forensic Therapy (minor crimes, DUI)
Praxis Focus: Adults & youth (Individual, Marriage/Couples/family) from diverse cultural, racial, gender, & religious backgrounds rooted in evidence-based, culturally-sensitive, trauma-informed, strength-based interventions for depression, PTSD, anxiety, addictions, marital conflicts; grief & loss, personality disorders (BPD, OCD), court & MVA clients.
If you are struggling with self-acceptance or acceptance of your reality and life is not making sense to you, then do not suffer alone. Please reach out to me and together we will unfold the pieces of your life and make some sense out of nonsense and learn from the past and write more informed chapters of your lives. I also speak fluent Hindi/Urdu & Punjabi.

Groups
Hope & Joy Therapy and Support Group
Do you want to talk about personal, relational, psychological, or spiritual or anything that feels important to you? Some of the themes we can explore in our discussions: How do I deal with my sadness, anger, grief, fears, anxiety, guilt or shame? Why I do what I do - addictions, unhealthy habits, or negative thinking? How do I find meaning or purpose of my life or make sense out of my suffering? Can positive psychology and spirituality help me develop more hope, empathy, gratitude or forgiveness? How do I develop Mindfulness, loving-kindness, compassion and empathy towards the self and others?
