Expressing your true and authentic self can be challenging while carrying the weight of societal and cultural expectations and pressures. I deeply understand the heavy feelings of isolation, loneliness and being misunderstood while navigating the path less traveled. In a world that often pushes us towards conformity, taking risks and making decisions from your most aligned self is a radical act of courage. Taking the first step towards returning to your true self is acknowledging that you don’t have to carry the weight alone. I can help you with providing culturally responsive support and guidance on your journey towards self-discovery, healing and wellness.
As a second-generation South Asian woman who has personally experienced challenges with navigating and accessing mental health resources while growing up, I strive to decolonize the therapy space and dismantle traditional forms of psychotherapy in order to cultivate an environment and practice that is culturally sensitive, inclusive, trauma-informed, anti-oppressive, client-centered and holistic. I enjoy working collaboratively with my clients by integrating a therapeutic approach that is tailored to their particular needs. I have specialized training in trauma and my professional experience includes working in private, health and community sectors in Vancouver and Toronto. I have worked with diverse clientele providing individual and couples therapy to those experiencing mental health concerns such as anxiety, depression, trauma, sexual health, life transitions and interpersonal relationship challenges.
Having someone actively listen without placing blame, shame, guilt, or judgment can be the support needed when you’re struggling to cope. I am dedicated to cultivating a safe and nonjudgemental space for clients to transform their emotional pain into strength, self-actualization, and fulfillment on their journey towards healing and returning back to themselves.
