Life is a journey, and sometimes life's path offers rough terrain. Sometimes all we need is for someone to walk with us, and support us through life's challenges. As a Registered Therapeutic Counsellor I strive to help clients gain awareness into their personal struggles, and ultimately find healing in such areas. I aim to offer a safe, warm and welcoming environment where clients can feel supported, validated and ultimately find hope.

Things are not how they used to be and you don't know how to move forward. There is a reason that you feel the way that you do, and you're not alone. Trauma has a way of making us feel "stuck", heightened anxiety and stress can feel overwhelming, and navigating uncertainty can feel scary. I believe that we all have the capacity to experience healing when we are seen as we are in a trusting environment. My hope is that you not only develop a greater awareness within yourself, but that you truly feel heard, understood, and known.

Hello! As a South Asian woman of colour, I have grown up and experienced living in a multicultural society, balancing the different identities that may come from being a child of immigrants as well as having peers of differing backgrounds. This has helped me develop a unique understanding of the experiences of those similar and different to me. I understand that our cultural upbringings, beliefs, and values may both help and hinder us in some ways as we grow into who we are today. We are made up of so many parts that make us who we are, and that is so important to understand and work with for your mental health and wellbeing.

Being human is beautifully weird, and painfully difficult. As a therapist, I am less interested in providing pat answers about this human experience, and more interested in creating shame-free spaces where we can lean into its mysteries and learn from it. I believe that therapy can be a transformational experience where we experience change as we are held and seen by another, and it is my great privilege to walk with those who are willing to share their stories with me.

Through my clinical work and life experiences, I have found many of us as humans do not take enough time to slow down and attune to what is truly going on internally within ourselves, which can lead to unresolved issues in life. As a therapist, I use a strength-based, somatic, person-centered, Adlerian, and mindfulness approach to help empower my clients to practice embracing and embodying who they truly are. I believe when individuals start operating in a space of honesty with their true authentic self, it can allow decisions to be made with more ease and help filter out unnecessary noise from the external world.

Seeking help is not a weakness, it is a strength that will allow you to build the life you long for. Sometimes we can feel confused about which path to take as we're confronted by life's challenges. The healing process is unique to each person; and from time to time, we can sometimes neglect the relationship with ourselves. I have a deep understanding and appreciation for how complicated, messy, and challenging life can be. With a warm and compassionate presence, I provide a safe and confidential space where together, we can work to identify unhelpful patterns, thoughts or behaviours and to set achievable and realistic goals.

Many of us can feel stuck, exhausted, lost, and much more as we encounter the pain and suffering that inevitably comes with being human. Over time, we may feel a greater sense of isolation and disconnection from ourselves and those around us. It is not my belief that we are meant to make sense of our pain alone. My hope is that counselling may be a space where all parts of you can feel safety, belonging, and acceptance. All of you is welcome here.

I am passionate to support all women.
When we are overwhelmed with the struggles of life & past trauma, it can feel as if our whole life is unravelling and can be a lonely, dark, anxious space & challenging to see the light at the end of the tunnel.

What if I told you, you were never meant to? Is there something in you stirring, a flame burning, desiring change in your life? Lets get curious. Connect with me to start on your own unique healing journey today.

Female Counsellors
Does it matter what gender my therapist is?
In general, this is not an important factor, as there is no relationship between a therapist’s gender and their efficacy. Some clients, however, prefer to see therapists of a particular gender, whether due to their own past experiences with men and women, or ingrained beliefs about how people of different genders think and behave. Exploring the roots of such preferences and considering what one wants to address in therapy can help someone determine whether their therapist’s gender truly matters to them.
Should I see a female therapist?
Many people—not just women—prefer to see a female therapist, either because they believe that a woman will be able to relate to their specific challenges (for example, sexism in the workplace) or because they imagine feeling more comfortable disclosing sensitive information to a woman. Such beliefs may not turn out to be accurate, however, and adhering too rigidly to a gender preference can at times hinder a client from finding the best therapeutic match.
Do therapists get specific training to help with women’s concerns?
Therapists are trained to provide care to clients of any gender. However, some therapists—both men and women—may pursue additional training in feminist therapy, gender-specific issues, or women’s mental health. Female clients may wish to ask prospective therapists whether they have received specific training in the client’s primary area(s) of concern, or whether they have worked extensively with women on issues similar to their own.
How can I inquire about a therapist’s experience in treating women?
It’s OK—even encouraged!—to ask a therapist directly whether and how often they have treated women in the past, or whether they have treated women dealing with the client’s most prominent concern(s). Competent therapists will be happy to share their educational background, preferred treatment modalities, and prior client experience to help an individual find the therapist best suited to their needs.
