If you are looking to embark on a journey to become the best version of yourself or looking to navigate challenging life transitions, I will be honoured to walk with you on this journey of self-growth and self-discovery. As a clinician, my work is inspired by my life experiences as a former physician, a mother, an immigrant, and a person of colour. With a special interest in helping individuals with a history of trauma, I believe that each individual is unique in their experiences, values and strengths. I strive to provide a collaborative and safe space for my clients to identify these strengths and steps to move forward. I have gained experience working with young adults, adults and seniors seeking help for stress, anxiety, depression, trauma including PTSD and CPTSD, along with uncertainty, grief, life transitions, inter-personal conflict and more. I strive to cultivate a practice that is culturally humble and rooted in inclusivity, empathy and empowerment. As a counsellor my goal is to provide you with a space where you can focus on your thoughts, feelings and needs. I am here to help you uncover more about yourself and move towards what is meaningful to you. As your therapist, apart from focusing on immediate coping needs I encourage self-reflection and self-exploration as a way of gaining a deeper insight into your thoughts and beliefs to facilitate long term wellbeing.

I utilize a relational, strengths-based trauma-informed lens that is neurodiversity and 2SLGBTQ+ affirming. I draw from a variety of research-based techniques including CBT, ACT, DBT, Narrative, and Integrative mind-body trauma-informed approaches to help you meet your goals. My aim is to create a comforting and warm experience where you feel safe to share your unique story and empowered to engage in journey to healing and living a fulfilling life.

Apart from English, I am fluent in Hindi, Urdu, and Punjabi and can understand Marathi.

Favourite Quote “No one escapes pain, fear, and suffering. Yet from pain can come wisdom, from fear can come courage, from suffering can come strength- if we have the virtue of resilience” – Eric Greitens, Resilience
