Anger, anxiety, depression, family conflict, domestic violence, acute and chronic/complex trauma comprise some of the challenges individuals experience in their lives. If you are a person struggling with any of these issues and/or experience other mental health concerns, please don't hesitate to reach out for a brief chat to discuss whether I am the right therapist for you. I am a Registered Master of Social Worker (MSW, RSW) with over 25 years of extensive experience serving complex mental health needs for individuals, couples, and families. I offer services in English, Bengali, Hindi, Punjabi, and Urdu.
Talking to a person who listens to your issues without judgement can help you develop self-awareness about your unique needs, challenges, strengths. I seek to support you in a safe, warm, and supportive environment. Our therapeutic relationship aims to make you feel acknowledged and validated as we work to address your concerns.
I am extensively trained in Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy, Narrative Therapy, Solution-Focused Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, and Trauma-Focused Interventions. I specialize in anxiety, anger-management, alcohol abuse, domestic violence, Partner Assault Response, coping with medical diagnoses, parenting skills education, and working with children & youth.
