About…

Are you struggling to manage your emotions or shift unhelpful thought patterns? You’re not alone. It can feel overwhelming to carry current challenges or past pain by yourself.

I offer warm and compassionate therapy in Toronto and the GTA, with in-person sessions locally and virtual sessions (online) across Ontario. You’ll find a safe, respectful, and non-judgmental space where you can share your story at your own pace. To keep counselling accessible, I provide affordable, low-cost, sliding-scale sessions without compromising quality. With over two years as a suicide line responder, I learned how crucial empathetic support is when you need it most.

I can help with challenges such as:

  • Depression, ADHD & mood disorders (persistent sadness, bipolar mood swings)
  • Anxiety & stress (constant worry, panic attacks, feeling on edge)
  • Life transitions (becoming a parent, career changes, moving to a new country)
  • Relationship issues (family conflicts, relationship challenges, self-esteem struggles)
  • Women’s mental health (postpartum depression/anxiety, cultural expectations)
  • Grief, loss, and betrayal (navigating complex emotions after loss or broken trust)
  • Self-esteem and body image concerns (inner critic, shame, disconnection from self)

With compassion and curiosity, I’ll help you uncover what’s keeping you stuck so you can move forward with greater resilience and self-assurance.

My Approach

As a pre-licensed counsellor under clinical supervision and a South Asian (BIPOC) therapist, I take a compassionate, culturally sensitive, person-centered approach. I welcome individuals of all backgrounds, and I’m LGBTQ+ affirming. I tailor each session to your needs and work at a pace that feels comfortable. I’m completing my M.A. in Counselling Psychology under a clinical supervisor, and I draw from evidence-based practices including:

  • Psychodynamic Therapy
  • Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT)
  • Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT)
  • Internal Family Systems Therapy
  • Mindfulness-based Therapy (MBCT)
  • Solutions-focused Therapy
  • Narrative Therapy

These methods help you understand deep-rooted feelings and develop practical tools to change unhelpful thought patterns. Together, we’ll explore long-held beliefs, heal past emotional wounds, and build healthy boundaries to support your well-being.

Take the Next Step: Free 30-Minute Consultation

It takes courage to seek support, and I admire your commitment to meaningful change. I invite you to reach out for a free 30-minute consultation to see if we’re a good fit. This no-obligation session is a chance to discuss your needs, ask questions, and ensure you feel comfortable. Therapy is a collaborative journey, and my role is to guide you toward genuine relief, greater resilience, and a more fulfilling life.
