I believe mental health must recognize individualism. This is influenced by my own experiences as a first-generation Indo-Canadian. My key values include empowering clients while creating a safe, collaborative approach. You are the storyteller of your life, and my role is to support you while you write, edit, and enhance the pages. My clients have shared that I provide a genuine, non-judgmental presence and atmosphere while they explore their thoughts and emotions, gain insight into their behaviours, and develop effective steps to enhance their well-being. You can expect a therapeutic setting that is professional, yet relaxed.

My professional experience includes working with a wide range of therapeutic issues, such as: depression, trauma, PTSD, anxiety, grief, self-esteem, cultural-specific issues, LGBTQIA+ specific issues, life transitions, interpersonal issues, and more. My overall approach is integrative and varies depending on what would be the most beneficial for the client.

Thank you for beginning your journey towards healing and self-care, it’s not an easy start and I hope you see how strong you are. If you're looking for a compassionate and experienced therapist to guide you through life's challenges, I invite you to reach out! I look forward to the opportunity of supporting you on your path to personal growth and well-being.

Although my approach is integrative (I use different frameworks and methods), my main framework is Narrative and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy.
