You deserve to be happy at work! I am a career counsellor who helps confused, burned-out, disillusioned individuals find clarity and hope. I love supporting folks who may not fit into the traditional career boxes because let's face it, not everyone has dreams of being an executive or climbing the corporate ladder! Using a holistic, flexible and creative approach I help folks figure out what is important to them in a career, what strengths they bring to the table, what fits and what doesn't, and how to find happiness and success in any future role. Clients say that they feel grounded and more clear after our work together.

I am currently working out of We Thrive Wellness Centre in Belleville. I work with individuals experiencing anxiety and challenges in relationships at home, at work and those internal struggles within, struggles of 'who am I' and noticing repeating patterns that aren't serving anymore. One of my favourite quotes is from the Sufi mystic Hafiz, "I wish to show you, when you are lonely or in darkness, the astonishing light of your being." I generally have a rotating, 20-session space for two clients at a 'reduced rate'.

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.

My highest priority is to help my clients feel safe and supported as we work together to uncover strengths and generate solutions to improve the challenging life situations that can and do arise.
I believe in an individualized, caring and respectful approach when working with clients to become more resilient and effective in their lives. Many people believe that the skills and motivation needed to maneuver all of life’s obstacles are automatically within all of us. But many of us learn ineffective ways of communicating, develop unhealthy patterns or find ourselves stuck with no idea of how to move forward. Having a dedicated time to examine patterns, build skills and develop a deeper understanding of ones’ strengths can help build a greater sense of wellness and clarity in our lives.

My focus is couples and individuals with a variety of issues - life changes,trauma, PTSD, grief, divorce, addictions, anxiety, depression, communication, affairs,attachment, sexual dysfunctions, loneliness, emotional regulation, family of origin issues, separation, anger management, self esteem issues, career path difficulties, and lack of close relationship.
Through therapy, you can save your relationships. In therapy I connect with: the potential you have to develop a nurturing, loving and caring relationship and the tender hearts behind the rigid and negative patterns that may have developed in your relationships. I believe: Relationships and desire to connect are the core of human experience. Your relationship, regardless of how severe your problems are, has the potential to become a safe and supportive base and comforting haven.

Accepting new EMDR adult clients (with a focus on female-identifying and non-binary individual clients). People seek counselling for many reasons such as anxiety, stress, ADHD, emotional regulation, and transitions such as post-secondary, family, career, parenting, burnout. We all want to feel better, but can’t always do that alone. I offer an open-minded, welcoming approach that meets you where you are. I believe by working collaboratively, we can identify opportunities for change and explore effective, evidence-based approaches.
