My Approach

Are you someone who has spent years holding it all together on the outside while quietly carrying pain that society has never truly witnessed? Perhaps you are still waiting for the world to admit that your struggle was valid, even when it didn’t fit neatly into a category. Society often ranks our suffering, telling us it doesn’t count unless it’s visible or severe enough. Maybe you find yourself repeating the same patterns, wondering why the past keeps showing up. 

I know this weight because I have lived it: from being fat-shamed to slim-shamed, and navigating the complexities of colorism and immigrant expectations from every angle. These experiences taught me that suffering does not need society’s permission to be real. Your story matters simply because you are feeling it.

Together, we will understand why you feel the way you do, release self-blame, reclaim agency, and rebuild trust in yourself. As a Pre-Licensed Professional and MA in Counselling Psychology student under clinical supervision, I use Psychodynamic and Person-Centred approaches to support you in navigating anxiety, relationship issues, and identity formation.

What to Expect

In our sessions, you can expect an intentional, unhurried space where your story is held, not managed. The fact that you are here, recognizing it is time for something to change, is a testament to the resilience you already carry. We move at a pace that respects your readiness, ensuring you will always be cared for. In our work together, we uncover the roots of your struggles while staying grounded in your current needs, fostering a collaborative dialogue in which you are the expert of your own life.

About Me

My philosophy is rooted in the Japanese concept of wabi-sabi: the practice of finding beauty in weathered, imperfect things. I believe our cracks are not flaws to be hidden but essential parts of a journey that deserve to be held with care, not judgment. This truth has been my anchor across diverse professional settings, from mental health facilities and addiction support to teaching children in underserved communities. These experiences deepened my conviction that what society often labels as weakness is, in reality, a profound act of survival.

I offer a space where your experiences are met with compassion, so you can begin to see the quiet strength that has kept you going, even if it felt like you were barely holding on.

Recognizing that something needs to shift is already a beginning. I provide virtual, affordable, low-cost, and sliding scale therapy across Ontario in English, Hindi, and Punjabi. If this resonates, please reach out to book a free 30-minute consultation.
