Most people just want to be happy. While that can certainly be achieved through counselling, I believe happiness is an emotion, like others, that comes and goes. Instead I work with you to create more peace, joy and fulfilment in your life. These are deeper long-lasting goals that are the foundation of life satisfaction. Over and above the specific concern you wish to work on, I aim to help you connect with who you really are as a person and facilitate the path to who you would like to be.

From birth, we are faced with moments that have a profound impact on the ways in which we relate with ourselves, others, and our surroundings. Our many moments of nurture, and the varying painful lived experiences leave us with overwhelming emotions that shift the ways we show up in our lives. Sometimes these pockets of our lived experiences are made sense of with the adequate care and support, and sometimes they are left in the corners of our mind, not seen, but are felt as we carry the unconscious weight of parts of who we are. Psychotherapy is a space where we may find empathic understanding of who we are, in all our intricacies.

I am a Clinical Psychologist who works with people across the lifespan through a wide range of difficulties. Central to my work is an existential philosophy — The belief that therapy is not only about alleviating distress, but also about discovering meaning, embracing uncertainty, and moving toward a more authentic and fulfilling way of being.

I instinctively formulate psychodynamically. However, I am a firm believer of meeting my clients where they are and together framing treatment within a modality that fits the presenting problem and the client’s therapeutic goals. I believe that one size does not fit all! This belief aligns with my integrative training which allows for the viewing of individuals as complex and dynamic beings, who at times struggle with interpersonal challenges rooted in multifaceted systems.
