Even when a change is exciting or something you chose, it can bring uncertainty, grief, pressure, or the feeling that you’re somewhere between who you were and who you’re becoming.
Perhaps you’ve spent years being the dependable one, putting family first, or keeping your feelings to yourself. You may be questioning beliefs or expectations you grew up with while figuring out what you want to hold on to and what you want to leave behind. Therapy can be a space to slow down and explore what you may not have had the time, space, or safety to process.
My Approach:
I’m a Registered Social Worker and therapist with over seven years of experience working across community services, supporting people impacted by violence, abuse or the legal system and workplace well-being. This work has taught me that people are rarely as simple as they may seem. Rather than thinking “this is just how they are,” I try to understand what has shaped who they are today.
I work with adults at different points in their lives, with particular interests in supporting women, South Asian clients, immigrants and newcomers, and people navigating major life transitions. This might include adjusting to a new country or culture, exploring identity and belonging, navigating career or relationship changes, managing family expectations, rebuilding self-esteem, or feeling stuck.
As my counselling approach continues to evolve, one thing will remain constant: I won’t try to fit you into a particular model of therapy. I draw from approaches including CBT, body-based practices, and relational work, depending on what feels most helpful. If there’s an approach you’ve been curious about, bring it in and we can explore it together. I also consider the bigger picture—your relationships, circumstances, culture, and the patterns showing up in your life. As a trained life coach, I can also bring a goal-oriented, future-focused approach when you want to think about where you’re going and how to get there.
A little about me:
I moved to Canada from India in 2022, so I understand that moving between countries can bring a complicated mix of excitement and pride alongside uncertainty, grief, guilt, and everything in between.
Outside of work, I’m happiest when I’m learning or experiencing something new. I love plants and nature, travelling, cooking, and documentaries or non-fiction books about real people and their lived experiences. One of my most memorable travel experiences was going on a jungle safari in Africa and visiting a Maasai community, where I learned about their history, culture, and
way of life. That curiosity about people’s stories is a big part of what I bring into the therapy room.
And since we’re talking about things that excite me, let’s imagine I had a magic lamp and three wishes. I’d choose teleportation to visit loved ones across the world instantly, the ability to learn about every plant and animal on Earth, and the opportunity to master a creative craft, because creativity energizes me.
Just as there’s no such thing as a “perfect therapist,” there’s no such thing as an “ideal client.” You can come as you are—with a lot of thoughts, a vague feeling, or simply, “I don’t even know what I need.” We can start there.
