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.

One of my favorite trendy quotes of 2025 was: “Love you, to myself”. We are often the harshest critics of ourselves, navigating a world that demands perfection while we struggle to find peace within. I always believed that everyone should have the opportunity to love themselves and realize their greatest potential.

Therapy is not a one-size-fits-all process; it is a collaborative journey where exploration happens. I use person-centered approach and prioritize your unique experience and goals above everything else. I am also deeply committed in practice with a culturally responsive approach, as I understand that identity, heritage, and societal expectations play a massive role in mental well-being.

With the integration of Cognitive Behavioural Therapy(CBT), Solution-Focused Brief Therapy(SFBT), Brief Psychodynamic Therapy(BPT), I am committed to provide a safe, respectful environment for all who seek support.

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.
