It’s my goal and passion in life to help people heal, grow, and navigate through periods of transitions in their lives.
Whether you’re dealing with pain from the loss of a loved one. Or a recent job loss or career change. When the family dynamics that change and can be a surprise. The feelings that can come from being lonely or afraid. The crippling anxiety that can come from something new and strange happening in your life. The times that you’re too depressed to get out of bed and start your day. When the daily stresses can turn into physical pain.
My passion is to help people maneuver through all the obstacles with compassion and empathy in an open and calm setting.

As an Indo-Canadian I have experience with being brought up in two wildly different cultures. That knowledge has helped me to gain an understanding of cultural differences and how we are all raised with different beliefs and that one belief does not trump another. Gaining perspective of how multi-culturalism has helped shaped who we are today. Which allows me to help all types of people in whatever situation they can be in. I believe that with my education and personal experience it has allowed me to hone my skills to help others and gave me the tools I need to help people get the necessary confidence to create change for themselves in a way that aligns with their culture and beliefs.

I believe therapy should honor everyone’s uniqueness and life story. My approach is integrative, blending various therapeutic modalities while viewing challenges through a systemic lens. I focus on creating a safe, non-judgmental space where you feel truly seen, heard, and valued. Through a systemic approach, I focus on seeing the whole picture—your relationships, emotional well-being, and environment—to help you find balance and healing. I integrate play therapy and other creative modalities to help children and youth process their emotions in ways that resonate with them, and I work with individuals to support emotional regulation, conflict resolution, and life transitions. With couples I aid in building a strong foundation for communication, while we collaborate around any disruptions that may exist within their system.
