We all face challenges in life and can lose a sense of ourselves. I strive to uncover a person’s authentic self, in allowing them to understand their purpose and bring empowerment and healing. During our meetings, it is important for me to create an alliance with you from a non-judgemental space that fosters trust. I value all parts of a person that are conflicted, afraid, ashamed, and parts that appear relentless.

Are you tired of feeling like you're carrying the weight of the world on your shoulders alone? Do you find yourself smiling on the outside, while feeling like you're falling apart on the inside? Whether you're grappling with overwhelming emotions, facing challenges at the intersection of your identities, or carrying the weight of unresolved trauma and grief, taking the first step towards therapy can feel daunting. But it's in this vulnerability that real growth and healing can begin. Therapy can help you to understand yourself on a deeper level, learn new ways to cope, and feel more in control as you navigate life's ups and downs.

Are you struggling with anxiety, depression, or boundary-setting issues that impact your daily life? Do you often feel frustrated, thinking you're not meeting someone's expectations or that you're not progressing in life? Do you wish for better emotional well-being? In today's world, many people feel overwhelmed trying to find their path while maintaining meaningful, yet not exhausting, relationships. Ignoring these concerns might lead to decreased life satisfaction. Your needs matter to me, and there's hope and help available.

Hi all, welcome to my profile! As a Black woman who grew up in a low income family I'm incredibly passionate about ensuring marginalized populations are provided with inclusive and accessible mental health support. What makes me feel fulfilled is dismantling the barriers individuals experience that prevent them from accessing services. As a result, I use a sliding scale to reduce financial barriers and offer virtual morning, evening, weekend sessions to make counselling easier to fit into your schedule. I feel honoured to support you through your most difficult emotions and I will walk through them with you to brighter days.

Bilingual therapist offering counselling in both English and Polish. With over 20 years experience, I believe that people are experts of their own lives; however, when dealing with challenging life issues, they often benefit from empathetic support and guidance in order to find new perspectives for problem-solving and personal growth. I provide a safe, nonjudgmental and validating environment to support my clients in expressing their thoughts and emotions, to feel that they are heard and they matter, to make new, healthy choices in dealing with difficulties, and to restore a sense of hope and balance in their life journey.

Whether you are struggling with depression, anxiety, grief, relationship struggles, a difficult medical diagnosis or challenging life transition, it is possible to find a healing path forward.

Growing up as a first-generation Canadian of South Asian descent and as a woman of color, she journeyed through the maze of identity, facing the challenges that come with navigating intersecting cultures.Through her own trials and triumphs, she's come to intimately understand the rollercoaster of emotions, the uncertainty, and the longing for someone who truly gets it. This journey has shaped not only who she is, but also how she approaches therapy. It's instilled in her a profound empathy and authenticity – a genuine understanding of the struggles you may be facing.

Niyamma Therapy is accepting new clients! If you are feeling lost, in the need for support or guidance, or simply want to better your existing circumstances, Niyamma Therapy can help! Niyamma is a play on the Sanskrit word “Niyam”, which means “principle”. Everyone comes from a different walk of life, different circumstances, and that is why the “principles” which they follow for fulfillment, enlightenment, and happiness vary. At Niyamma Therapy, a variety of modalities and approaches are used. I personally am trained in DBT , but also incorporate CBT, Narrative, Client Focused Therapy, and other approaches.
