It's time to break the stigma. South Asian mental health is often overlooked and stigmatized by cultural and religious upbringing and family expectations. Shanti Psychotherapy was founded to create a collective of like minded and skilled therapists. Our intention is to help our community break free of the stigma associated with mental health issues, and to offer a comfortable, compassionate therapy experience.

I am a Clinical Social Worker with more than 25 years experience in mental health. I work collaboratively with my clients to develop a strong therapeutic relationship and gain a better understanding of their situation. I create an inclusive, accepting and non-judgmental space for clients to feel comfortable in. Working from a strengths based, trauma informed framework, I use a psychodynamic lens to explore past experiences which may be contributing to present difficulties. By linking the past to the present and working in the here and now, we are able to gain a deeper understanding of internal and interpersonal difficulties.

Sometimes feelings and situations knock us down, or they keep coming up when we think we've buried them deep. The negative effects can come up as problems in our relationships, our jobs, and our ability to cope. Life can sometimes leave us exhausted.

Life is full of ups and downs. We face challenges everyday and frequently feel overwhelmed by our emotions. We have many wounds inside us that need to be healed from the past. Although it seems painful to look at those wounds, they can be healed by exploring our inner world and emotions.

Many things affect us deeply in our busy lives. Yet we find ourselves unable, unwilling, or reluctant to talk our issues through with family, friends or physician. Psychotherapy sessions with me by Zoom, are focused, strategic, and personalized to your needs. I have provided individual and family psychotherapy/counseling in Toronto for over twenty years. Book one session a series, or intermittently: yours to design. Everyone wants change, but how? I will listen to you. "and the day came when the risk to remain tight in a bud was more painful than the risk it took to blossom” Anais Nin

People often turn to therapy when they notice the same painful patterns repeating, but feel helpless to make things better. Maybe you're finding yourself struggling in your relationships, or you're not happy with your current situation. While a painful time can lead you to seek therapy, starting therapy can be a really positive step. It usually means that you believe things can be better, and that you have some hope for change. If you’re feeling depressed, overwhelmed, anxious, stuck in a bad situation, or even just curious about your life or relationship choices, therapy can help.

Most all of us have experienced loss which can result in a prolonged grief reaction. Loss can mean many different things; we often relate loss to a physical death of someone, but it can also be loss of: a marriage/relationship, job, a home, body image, innocence, childhood, independence due to aging or illness, or loss of trust-hope-dreams, self-worth through abuse. No matter what your sense of loss is you can have a grief response that can cause deep emotional pain. I work primarily with women who are willing to step over the threshold to rediscover your meaning, embrace your healing, and transcend to your fullest potential.

I use warmth and humour, alongside years of clinical experience and knowledge, to help clients better understand themselves and their experiences. I work in partnership with families to enhance communication and connection.

Our environments - current, historical, and structural - shape who we are and the stories we tell ourselves. Challenging relationships, unsupportive environments, along with life transitions and stressors can impact your sense of self, how you view the world, and the path you walk. To those around us, this may present as anxiety, low mood, lack of motivation, anger/irritability, isolation from people and activities of interest. Within ourselves, this may present as feelings of stress, shame, guilt, and resentment towards the stories that make up our life thus far.

Why is it important to know yourself better? This is a question my clients often ask, and it’s a valid one. The short answer: self-awareness is empowering. When you understand yourself, you can unlock new ways to navigate life’s challenges. Maybe you’ve felt stuck, anxious, or depressed. Perhaps you’ve tried self-help strategies, practiced meditation, followed nutrition or exercise regimens, or engaged in other types of psychotherapy. While these approaches might have helped initially, the same struggles seem to resurface, leaving you feeling stuck in a cycle. This is where exploring who you are on a deeper level becomes vital.

My therapeutic approach is centered on creating an accepting and responsive environment. Beyond that, I view therapy as a process that facilitates a healthier relationship with oneself and proactively disrupts patterns causing distress. I balance insight and understanding with change-focused, effective coping strategies that comprehensively address areas of difficulty and challenge. This is often achieved by leveraging awareness of underlying emotions, unmet needs, and unresolved experiences to pave the way towards symptom reduction and meaningful change, noticeably enhancing quality of life.

Living a life of disconnection, anxiety and loneliness can be exhausting, especially when you are wearing a mask to show the world around you you’re fine, when you’re not. Showing others the hurting side of you can be a vulnerable, scary process, and I’m here to help you through the other side of this difficult time. With over 15 years of experience, I support folks thrive through experiences of anxiety, depression, and ADHD. I also support couples improve communication and connection. I strive to work alongside you to understand your personal struggles, face them with courage and resilience, and create a plan to overcome.

I work from a model of health, balance and empathy by bringing into awareness the places where we get stuck and our unique ways of getting there. You know best when your patterns of coping are no longer working. A therapist's job is to support you in creating positive shifts in your life. This support may sometimes feel frustrating, especially when our familiar patterns of functioning are being challenged. I incorporate art, humour and paradox in sessions allowing for a creative, spontaneous exploration of your needs, contradictions and feelings and by providing a safe space where new possibilities and hope are possible.
