*ACCEPTING NEW CLIENTS* My focus when meeting with individuals is to provide a safe, supportive, and collaborative environment, while also engaging in insightful and compassionate conversations to help individuals make meaningful changes in their lives. We can all benefit from learning new skills/tools, and whether it is developing healthier coping strategies to deal with intense emotions and distressing thoughts, or develop more fulfilling interpersonal relationships, I would love to offer a safe space where we can talk about challenges you may be experiencing and to work on your goals together.
As a first-generation Tamil-Canadian, I work from a culturally-sensitive, trauma-informed, client-centered approach. In order to tailor treatment to your individual needs and to build on your strengths, I draw from various evidence-based approaches in my practice including CBT, DBT, EFT ACT, and Mindfulness.
If you think that we may be a good fit to work together, feel free to email me or give me a call to book a free 15-minute phone consultation, so that I may answer any questions you may have.
