Finding the right therapist can feel overwhelming, especially when you’re already carrying so much. Whether you’re struggling with anxiety, depression, trauma, relationship challenges, life transitions, addiction, eating disorders, or the lasting effects of domestic violence, you don’t have to face it alone. My goal is to provide a safe, compassionate, and non-judgmental space where you can feel heard, understood, and supported. Together, we’ll explore the experiences that have shaped your life, identify the patterns that may be keeping you stuck, and develop practical strategies that help you feel more confident, resilient, and in control. As an immigrant who has lived in Canada for over 20 years, I understand the complexities of navigating different cultures, identities, and expectations. I have strong connections to both Canadian and South Asian communities and offer therapy in English, Urdu, and Hindi, allowing clients to express themselves in the language that feels most natural. I take a client-centred, strengths-based, and trauma-informed approach, recognizing that every person’s story is unique. Rather than using a one-size-fits-all method, I tailor therapy to your individual needs, taking into account your relationships, life experiences, cultural background, personality, and the challenges you’re facing today. I have several years of experience supporting children, youth, and adults with a wide range of mental health concerns. I hold a BSc in Psychology and Biology, am currently completing my Master of Arts in Counselling Psychology (MACP) at Yorkville University, and have additional training in trauma-informed support and youth peer support. Healing isn’t about becoming a different person—it’s about understanding yourself with greater compassion, building on your strengths, and creating lasting change. If you’re ready to take the next step, I’d be honoured to support you on your journey.

I believe that life holds many opportunities for joy, connection, and growth, even as individuals encounter challenges along the way. While difficult experiences can feel overwhelming, each person has an inherent capacity for healing, resilience, and meaningful change when supported with care and understanding.

My approach to counselling centers on creating a warm, safe, and non-judgmental space where clients feel heard, respected, and supported. A strong therapeutic relationship is gently nurtured, allowing clients to explore their thoughts, emotions, and experiences in a way that feels safe and at a pace that is comfortable for them.

My therapeutic orientation is integrative, drawing from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), person-centered therapy, and trauma-informed care, with interventions tailored to each client’s unique needs.

As a practicum student, I bring academic training and experience in crisis support through my volunteer role with the CMHA Distress Line and Inner City Mission. I remain committed to ethical, reflective practice and to supporting clients in building resilience and moving toward meaningful change.

Guided by compassion, integrity, and multicultural respect, I take a collaborative approach rooted in unconditional acceptance. I work with adolescents, adults, couples, and families, supporting both neurodivergent and neurotypical individuals as they navigate life’s challenges and pursue meaningful change.

I am especially passionate about helping individuals who feel ready to make positive changes in their lives, including those working toward recovery from alcohol and substance use concerns. I strive to walk alongside clients on their journey of growth, offering encouragement, practical support, and a non-judgmental space to explore new possibilities.

My journey into psychotherapy grew from the belief that healing extends beyond physical health to include the wounded psyche. I recognize how unprocessed emotions can manifest in the body and impact overall well-being. Having experienced the transformative power of self-discovery in my own growth, I strive to model and inspire that same possibility for others. I am deeply interested in understanding emotions and helping clients develop greater emotional awareness. In particular, I enjoy supporting individuals in exploring and managing anger in healthy, constructive ways, viewing anger not as a problem to eliminate, but as an emotion that can provide valuable insight when understood and expressed effectively.

I also enjoy working with couples and families, helping strengthen relationships, improve communication, and navigate challenges that arise within family systems. Whether supporting parents and their children or assisting couples in developing deeper connection and understanding, I aim to create a space where each person’s voice can be heard.

In my individual work, I have a special interest in supporting women who have experienced trauma. Through a gentle, trauma-informed approach, I help clients cultivate safety, resilience, self-compassion, and empowerment as they move toward healing at their own pace.

I integrate Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT), Solution-Focused Brief Therapy (SFBT), Cognitive Behaviour Therapy (CBT), and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), tailoring each session to individual needs. Above all, I strive to provide a safe, supportive environment where clients feel seen, heard, and empowered in their healing journey.
