I am a Registered Clinical Counsellor with a passion for supporting individuals through life’s challenges and transitions. I specialize in helping clients navigate issues such as grief, pet loss, trauma, FASD, and ADHD. My approach is compassionate, client-centered, and tailored to meet the unique needs of each person I work with.

I hold a Master’s Degree in Counselling Psychology and Art Therapy. My primary modality is Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), but I incorporate CBT, Gestalt, and eclectic theories to support clients as needed. I’m passionate about supporting our frontline healthcare workers. Often, the support they provide comes at a cost to their own mental and emotional well-being, and healthcare coverage alone isn’t always enough to meet their needs. I strive to ensure these heroes receive the care and support they deserve, empowering them to continue their vital work with resilience and strength.

I offer a non-judgmental space where clients can explore their feelings, develop new coping strategies, and find pathways to healing. Whether you are struggling with personal loss, relationship challenges, or just need a place to work through everyday stressors, I am here to help. I believe in the power of building strong therapeutic relationships, where clients feel heard, validated, and empowered to create meaningful changes in their lives. My goal is to support you in finding balance, resilience, and a greater sense of well-being.

I offer online counselling to accommodate clients with busy schedules or those who prefer the comfort of their own space. I am dedicated to making therapy accessible and effective, meeting you where you are in your journey toward better mental health.

Life can feel overwhelming at times, especially when carrying unresolved grief, navigating cultural expectations, or facing relationship challenges that seem insurmountable. Having experienced ambiguous loss, cultural struggles, and the journey of starting over, I bring a compassionate and authentic perspective. As a Pre-Licensed Professional, I use a culturally sensitive, client-centered approach. With Indian and Caribbean roots, I am committed to creating a space where diverse values and experiences are honoured.

Your story matters, and healing begins when it is met with empathy and care. I am here to help you move through challenges such as:

Navigating intergenerational and cultural challenges
Building emotional resilience in the face of ambiguous loss
Cultivating hope and meaning through life’s uncertainties
Healing from gender-based expectations
Fostering deeper emotional connections in relationships
Strengthening emotional resilience
Rediscovering joy and purpose in everyday life
Breaking the spiral of anxious thoughts

My approach integrates Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Narrative Therapy, and somatic practices to tailor sessions to your needs. I aim to help you build self-awareness, process emotions, and uncover strengths. My goal is to create a warm, collaborative space where you feel safe and empowered to make meaningful changes in your life.

If this resonates with you, I invite you to book a complimentary 30-minute consultation. Together, we can uncover your resilience, foster growth, and move toward a life that feels aligned with your values and hopes.

If you have any inquiries, kindly email tkpsychotherapy@proton.me and mention my name in your message so the clinic can route your request to me. You may also reach me directly by calling 647-482-0296.
