Bio: Are you navigating a major life transition—a career change, relationship shift, becoming a parent, moving to a new country, or simply entering a new stage of life—and unsure of what comes next? Even positive changes can bring uncertainty, grief, pressure, or the feeling of being
caught between who you were and who you’re becoming.

You may have spent years putting others first, keeping your feelings to yourself, or trying to meet expectations while figuring out what you truly want. 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.

I work with adults at different points in their lives, with particular interests in supporting women, BIPOC individuals, immigrants, and people navigating major life transitions. This might include navigating career or relationship changes, managing family expectations, rebuilding
self-esteem, exploring identity and belonging 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. 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. I don’t think therapy needs to feel overly formal, and I always make room for humour, venting, and the occasional laugh along the way.

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 learning and experiencing something new. I love travelling, plants and nature, cooking, and documentaries or books about people and their lived experiences.

One of my most memorable travel experiences was going on a jungle safari in Africa andvisiting a Maasai community, where I learned about their history, culture, and way of life.
If I had three wishes, I’d choose teleportation to visit loved ones around the world, the ability to learn about every plant and animal on Earth, and the chance 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.
