I facilitate groups & individual sessions with men who cause harm, creating a space where empathy & accountability are prioritized. I explore communication skills, emotional regulation, and conflict resolution to foster behaviour change.

Our emotions and feelings are sacred, your sensitivity isn't a problem, it's just that some of us feel and observe things on a deeper level. In my practice, I create a safe space where your emotional depth is not only welcomed but celebrated. We may feel deeply and even take on the emotions of others. I work and support with managing: anxiety, people pleasing, perfectionism, high achieving, empaths and highly sensitives, inner critics, childhood trauma and relationship issues (romantic, marital, friendships). Being a child of immigrants and a woman of colour myself, I also hold space culture, race and identity in our sessions.

EFT, regarded as the gold standard for relationship therapy, is a short-term therapy that normally consists of 10-20 weekly sessions, depending on the level of escalation or past trauma.
Do you and your partner often argue? Do you find yourself feeling sad, frustrated, lonely, disconnected, resentful, angry? Have you lost trust in them? Do you feel you are not treated well and talking just causes more fights or your partner may shut you out and become unresponsive? You may be stuck in an unhealthy relationship pattern or cycle. Maybe you’re feeling desperate to change this dynamic but nothing you do seems to help? Using Emotionally Focused Therapy, we can work to replace these negative patterns of interaction with positive ways of communicating that allow you to feel loved, supported and emotionally connected.

I hold a PhD in psychotherapy and practice from a more person-oriented perspective. My clients come to me with a variety of issues, including depression, anxiety, anger, relationship issues, and work issues.. I focus on the cause of their suffering rather than just putting a band-aid on the symptoms. I help my clients see meaning in their lives and a purpose behind their current situation. We work together to find something beyond the usual, and beyond the typical things they may attribute to their suffering. I offer weekend and evening hours.

It is my belief that feeling at ease & comfortable with your therapist is a large predictor of success in the therapeutic relationship.
You find life overwhelming; you recognize you are stuck in patterns or behaviors in your personal or professional life that are not working for you, but you don’t know how to help yourself. You think to yourself “what’s the point?” or “things will never change”. That leads to more overwhelm and procrastination. Maybe you notice your head is full of anxious thoughts or negative self-talk that impacts your mood. You don't have to figure it out alone. Utilize my support to close the gap between where you are today and where you want to be. If you’re ready to make some lasting changes, you’ve come to the right place.

If you're a South Asian couple/individual (ages 22 to 35) attempting to navigate challenges in your relationship, I see and hear where you're coming from. Besides the standard relationship challenges most people face, you are probably also navigating complexities around family & cultural expectations along with the different ways you or your partner's upbringing may be impacting how you show up in your relationship. This in turn could be bringing up emotions for you and your partner such as fear, resentment, loneliness or guilt. You might also feel stuck on who to turn to with your challenges due to the fear of being judged.
