About Me
I am a Registered Psychotherapist providing individual and relationship therapy across Ontario. I support clients navigating anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, life transitions, trauma, grief, self-esteem, family dynamics, anger, and stress.
I have extensive experience working with clients from diverse backgrounds, including South Asian communities and those navigating migration, cultural identity, intergenerational dynamics, and systemic barriers. I blend curiosity, compassion, and gentle directness to foster self-understanding and meaningful change.
Together, we explore the factors shaping your mental health and relationships, helping you feel seen, understood, and supported as you move toward a life that feels authentic and deeply connected.
My Approach
I customize therapy to your unique goals, experiences, and challenges, integrating evidence-based approaches with mindfulness, inner child work, and somatic practices. My approach draws from Internal Family Systems (IFS), a model that helps heal the parts of us carrying pain, trauma, and limiting beliefs, while fostering self-understanding, authenticity, and self-leadership.
When working with couples, I incorporate attachment theory and relational neuroscience, drawing from models such as Intimacy from the Inside Out (IFIO), Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT), and Relational Life Therapy (RLT). Together, we focus on courageous communication, emotional safety, and building resilient, connected relationships.
Grounded in empowerment and self-compassion, my approach supports clients in facing life’s challenges with curiosity and courage, deepening self-understanding, strengthening relationships, and moving beyond patterns that no longer serve them. Therapy is approached as a meaningful journey of growth, insight, and connection.
