Bio: Some experiences stay with us long after they happen. You may be making sense of harm from childhood, sexual abuse, racism, or a religious environment. You may be grieving someone you love, including a pet, or feeling anxious or depressed without knowing where to begin.

I’m Shamalla, a Registered Social Worker and Psychotherapist offering virtual therapy to adults across Ontario. I support people navigating trauma, grief, anxiety, and depression. Religious and spiritual trauma is a particular focus of my practice, and I understand how complicated it can be when beliefs are tied to family, culture, community, and identity.

My approach is warm, collaborative, and informed by practices including Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT), Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (TF-CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), and mindfulness. We can make sense of your experiences together and find practical ways to cope, at a pace that feels right for you.

I offer a free 15-minute consultation, reduced rates for students, and sliding scale fees.
