I believe that we can all benefit from learning how to hold space, forgive, and love ourselves. I moved to Canada with my family from India 10 years back and am a first generation Canadian. I have always been passionate about helping others and supporting them along their healing journey.

I am a BC-based trauma therapist who works with both individuals and couples. I have worked in the healthcare industry for over 10 years in combined community mental health, mental health organizations, disability management, and private practice. I believe that everyone is capable of making a change in their life, on their own time, and at their own pace.

As someone who has experienced mental health challenges myself, I understand how important it is to have a warm and welcoming approach to therapy. Having this safe place to explore is key in learning to effectively cope, adapt, and change.

My approach is holistic, collaborative, strengths-based, creative and compassionate and I strive to provide a respectful and caring therapeutic relationship, which I believe is foundational to transformation and change. In my practice, I integrate a range of modalities and theories that support emotional intelligence and regulation, self-compassion, acceptance, effective communication, healthy coping skills, body awareness, nervous system regulation, and self-expression. I also believe it is important for me to consider your context; your culture, history, and the systems and environmental/social conditions that exist around you, because they can often influence or impact one’s wellbeing.

I look forward to welcoming you into a safe, shared space where we can get curious, gently explore, experiment with new behaviours, facilitate change and find hope.
