I am a Registered Psychotherapist with the College of Registered Psychotherapists of Ontario (CRPO). I have over six years of experience in counselling individuals from diverse backgrounds and in different settings. This includes counselling services at a post-secondary institution, and community mental health agencies that provide addiction and mental health services to youth and their families.
 

My work experience includes delivering individual, family, group, and crisis services to teens, university students, adults, and parents/caregivers. My clientele involves individuals with complex mental health issues, and presenting concerns related to depression, trauma, anxiety, family conflict, eating disorders, low self-esteem, relationship issues, and emotional dysregulation. I use an integrative and trauma-informed perspective, incorporating elements of Dialectical Behaviour Therapy, Emotion Focussed Family Therapy, Narrative Therapy, Attachment and Mindfulness based approaches. In my work, I practice the following 4 Cs: being client-centred, compassionate, curious, and collaborative.
 

I understand the importance of cultural identities and intersectionality on one’s mental health. Through my own lived experiences as a South Asian immigrant and being in close proximity with other immigrants, I have become aware of the psycho-social stressors that are rife within this community. Therefore, I have always strived to use a culturally responsive framework that allows me to appreciate clients for all aspects of their identity, values, and experiences.
 

I know reaching out for support can be unnerving. Moreover, finding someone who is relatable and sensitive to your needs can feel even more challenging. I assure you that by visiting this website, you have taken a step in the right direction. Please book a free 15 minute consultation to see if I am a good fit and able to meet your needs.

Outside of my work, things that keep me grounded include going for walks, trying out new recipes, listening to music, as well as spending time with family and friends!
