Life at times can feel as if any turn we make leads us down the same old pathway and towards the same old obstacle we have been facing for some time. Therapy can be helpful in providing a safe and comfortable space to understand these obstacles and why we may be doing what we have been doing, leading to newer and more empowering approaches in the face of old and tired problems. My goal is to work together with clients in exploring and understanding challenges while carving out new ways to understand areas within their lives that otherwise looked to be stuck and unchanging.

Are you in a challenging season in life, experiencing disappointment or loss? Does your life presently look different than what you envisioned? Are you finding a life transition overwhelming? Our hopes & plans for what we want life to look like can collide with unexpected circumstances life hands us. Whether it’s the weight of our family of origin, relentless self-criticism or other stressors, personal growth and positive change in our relationships can occur as we are intentional about turning towards our pain and allowing it to be a pathway to healing and transformation in our lives.

Is life getting challenging? Too much on your plate? Are you feeling lost? Maybe you tried to fix this but you are unable to. Well, you don't have to do this alone. When stress, anxiety, depression, anger or grief are in excess it can interfere with your relationships with friends and family and decrease your productivity at school or at work. Swapna is here to help you feel better. She has worked with many teens, adults, couples and families for 14 + years and helped them find peace of mind again.

Life is filled with unexpected twists and turns that can at times feel overwhelming. This can be a wonderful opportunity to lean into support. Reaching out for help and engaging in a therapeutic relationship can help you develop insight, improve your sense of wellbeing, and help you find balance.

Do you feel like the waves of life have been washing over you, like nothing makes sense, and you can't tell which way is solid ground? Perhaps your relationship or marriage seems to bring more stress and tension than the peace and joy it once did? Or work that brought you joy only brings you dread? Perhaps you've lost a loved one and cannot imagine life without them? If any of these resonate with you then I would like to work with you to take the next step.

To develop clear insight of awareness towards our instinctual values, I believe it is critical to embrace, validate and acknowledge one’s individuality. Helping clients process the primary distinction between self-identity and where they want to be, is based on genuinely empathizing and understanding ways that we can best serve clients by applying therapeutic modalities that address their biological, physical and social constraints.

Serving the people of Halton Region for 24 years, we know that every person's challenges are unique. Our Therapy Team consists of experienced psychologists and registered psychotherapists, and provides therapy and diagnostic services to children, teens, adults, couples and families in English and Farsi.

If you’re feeling disconnected or like you have lost your way in important areas of your life, you don’t have to figure it all out on your own. I seek to understand what it’s been like for you in facing these challenges and I join with you to create a roadmap towards more meaningful and aligned ways of moving through life. If you’re looking for support in facing relationship issues, reducing stress/burnout, navigating transitions, parenting, exploring culture and identity with a sense of authenticity, coping with anxiety, depression, low self-esteem, guilt, shame, or big existential questions, I might be a good fit!

I strongly believe that the more self-awareness we have, the stronger the relationship with ourselves and in turn, relationship with others. My hope is to support you in gaining deeper insights to yourself, break unhealthy thought and behaviour patterns as well as create healthy coping mechanisms. As these changes begin to occur it is my experience that you often feel like you are living a more fulfilling and purposeful life.
