I am a therapist specializing in social-emotional health for children, adolescents, and parents, providing online therapy across Ontario. Over the past 10 years, I’ve had the privilege of working with children and adolescents to support their social-emotional health and well-being.

I’ve worked in a number of different settings, including hospitals, schools, community mental health clinics, and private practice. I currently own a virtual practice where I offer social-emotional assessment, individual therapy, and parent consultation to families throughout the province. My approach is evidence-based, while also building on each client’s unique strengths and needs. I focus on creating a strong therapeutic bond in an environment where children and parents feel comfortable and at ease. My goal is to provide clients with tools for their toolbox so they can move forward in their lives and navigate the bumps along the way.

I offer 15-minute phone consultations at no charge to help you decide whether I’m the best fit for your family and to answer any questions you may have.

I am a therapist in New York, serving clients in Buffalo, NY, and offering telehealth. Inner work is hard, and I know that reaching out is often the bravest part of the journey. Perhaps you’re feeling weighed down by grief, navigating a major life transition, or struggling with the quiet hum of anxiety and abandonment. If you feel like traditional talk therapy hasn't quite reached the roots of your pain, I want you to know that there is another way to heal. I create a safe, expressive, and non-judgmental space for you to land exactly as you are. I am looking for the motivated healer, someone who wants to work as a team to accomplish goals and truly grow. Our work happens both on and off the therapy couch. I love celebrating your successes and gently working through the natural errors we make as humans. How We Work Together: I use a humanistic and mindful approach that brings our awareness into the present moment. While I hold space for your story, I will also challenge the negative thoughts and behaviors that keep you stuck. Through art therapy, we can bypass the limits of language to dive into internal family systems (IFS). By personifying your inner parts through creative expression, we can work with them one by one, day by day. Every brushstroke is a step toward growth, and every creation holds the potential to heal. A Space for Your Spirit: My passion lies in helping you connect deeply with your emotions and your inner self. Whether we are processing trauma, depression, or identity shifts, we will explore expressive forms that nurture your spirit and unleash your inner resilience. I am an LGBTQ+ affirming and neuro-inclusive therapist. Whether you are in Buffalo or seeking telehealth anywhere in New York, I am here to help you turn your internal landscape into a place of healing.

Please visit my website to learn more about me. My approach integrates psychotherapy with creative process to engage the mind, body, emotions and imagination on the journey of change. I ground my practice in a belief in human resilience and in our innate potential for healing and transformation through difficult times. My work is informed by anti-oppressive perspectives, understanding of trauma and environmental influences on the psyche, neuroscience research findings, the mind-body relationship, symbolic process, and spirituality. I am committed to principles of social justice, and to promoting balanced and respectful relationships. In over twenty years of practice, I have incorporated creativity and mindfulness with many types of verbal therapies. My experience includes work in public healthcare and community settings, including: mental health services in hospital outpatient clinics; addiction and trauma recovery; counselling for women and children exposed to domestic violence; specialized programs for children and youth with complex difficulties. I also provide specialized services in Jungian Sandplay Therapy. Sandplay Therapy is a unique modality that provides a nonverbal way for clients of any age to experience and transform inner tensions through creative expression with sand, water and miniatures. While engaging the body and imagination, you become the creator of your personal journey. With children and youth, playful and non-verbal approaches are central components of my practice. These imaginative modalities engage young people in creatively exploring their struggles while building a sense of mastery and self-worth. I am a Registered Social Worker providing psychotherapy in Ontario and hold Masters Degrees in both Social Work and Sociology. I am also an internationally certified Jungian Sandplay Therapist with the Canadian Association for Sandplay Therapy (CAST) and the International Society for Sandplay Therapy (ISST). I am a past President of CAST, and a Senior Teacher-Supervisor for CAST and ISST. I provide internationally recognized sandplay training, supervision, workshops and conference presentations.

Many of the people who come to Clear Moon Therapy are used to holding everything together. They show up for work, family, relationships, and responsibilities, but underneath they feel anxious, overwhelmed, exhausted, or disconnected from themselves. Some are struggling with overthinking, people-pleasing, perfectionism, burnout, or self-doubt. Others are navigating relationship challenges, family expectations, cultural pressures, major life transitions, or simply the feeling that life has become harder than it should be. Our approach is collaborative, practical, and compassionate. We don't believe you need to be in crisis to benefit from therapy, and you don't need to have everything figured out before you begin. Therapy is a space to slow down, better understand what you're carrying, and explore the patterns that may be keeping you stuck. Our therapists draw from evidence-based approaches including CBT, ACT, DBT-informed therapy, EFT, and trauma-informed care. More importantly, we tailor therapy to the person sitting in front of us. Some clients are looking for practical tools and strategies. Others want to better understand themselves, improve their relationships, process difficult experiences, or build a healthier relationship with their emotions. Often, the work involves a combination of both. At Clear Moon Therapy, we strive to create a space where you can show up as you are without feeling judged, pressured, or expected to have the right words. Over time, our goal is to help you feel more confident, more grounded, and better equipped to navigate life's challenges while staying connected to yourself. Whether you're seeking support for anxiety, burnout, depression, trauma, relationship concerns, or cultural and identity-related experiences, we're here to help you find a therapist who feels like the right fit.

If you're here, there's a good chance you're exhausted, exhausted by recurring negative thought patterns, by emotions that feel too big to manage, and by behaviors you know don't serve you but can't seem to change. You may be wondering whether real change is possible, or whether this is simply how things are now. It is possible. And you don't have to find your way there on your own. I'm a Psychotherapist in Ontario trained in cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), one of the most extensively researched and clinically supported approaches in mental health care. Decades of clinical evidence show that CBT can help with a wide range of concerns, including anxiety, depression, and unhelpful thought and behavior patterns, because it targets the root of the cycle: the connection between how we think, how we feel, and how we act. Working together, we'll identify the specific thoughts and habits keeping you stuck, and build practical, evidence-based tools you can apply in real situations, not just discuss in session. This isn't about temporary relief. It's about developing skills that create measurable, lasting change in your day-to-day life. I approach this work with both clinical rigor and genuine care. Helping clients rebuild confidence and reclaim a sense of control over their lives is the reason I do what I do. If you're ready to begin, I'd welcome the opportunity to support you as you take that first step.

Are you someone who finds yourself overthinking everything, feeling stuck, or unsure about your relationships or where your life is going? On the outside, things may seem okay, but internally it can feel overwhelming, confusing, or even a little lonely, especially if you’re navigating life between cultures or adjusting to a new environment. Growing up in India, where mental health wasn’t always openly talked about, and through my own journey of moving to Canada, I’ve seen how often people struggle silently without fully understanding what they’re going through. You don’t have to hold it all on your own. I’m a Registered Psychotherapist (Qualifying) and an MA in counselling psychology student under clinical supervision, offering client-centered, presence-focused therapy in Ontario. I integrate cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) to explore your thoughts and patterns in a supportive, grounded way. I work with young adults navigating anxiety, relationships, and life transitions. If this resonates with you, I invite you to reach out to book a free 30-minute consultation. We can connect, begin to explore what you’re going through, and see if working together feels like the right fit for you.

Are you tired of feeling like you aren’t yourself? Are you exhausted of feeling disconnected and lost? Do you want clarity on who you are, what your goals are, and how to embark on your healing journey? I support young professionals break the cycle of disconnection, exhaustion, and loneliness while connecting to their authentic self. I specialize in supporting the BIPOC community and individuals with histories of trauma, depression, and anxiety. I support adults and young professionals work through emotional challenges. My mission is to not only support you on your journey but provide you with a nonjudgmental space where you can express yourself freely. I strongly believe that no one should experience pain alone and that we all need support as we navigate life and the process of healing. I work collaboratively with clients to embrace their purpose, unique strengths, and find their inner voice. I provide psychodynamic therapy and I am well-versed in various therapeutic modalities such as Narrative Therapy, CBT, Inner-Child Work, and Internal family systems. My approach to therapy is strength-based, culturally inclusive, and trauma-focused. I believe in collaborative, transparent, anti-racist and anti-oppressive care.

We each have an incredible capacity for growth, healing, and transformation. While life's challenges can leave us feeling stuck, overwhelmed, disconnected, or uncertain about the future, it can be helpful to view these experiences not as permanent conditions, but as opportunities to better understand ourselves and create meaningful change. My approach is grounded in the belief that lasting growth happens when we engage the whole person. It is helpful to engage the mind, body, emotions, relationships, values, and environment. Rather than focusing solely on symptoms, I work collaboratively with clients to explore the deeper patterns, experiences, and strengths that shape their lives. Primarily, I work with people who have experienced trauma, anxiety, neurodivergence, life transitions and mood related disorders. Together, we identify practical tools through mindfulness and a human approach to create pathways that support healing and help you move toward the life you want to create. Finding the right fit in therapy is essential. My goal is to guide you toward making appropriate decisions in your life from a grounded, value-based space that matters to you. I happily offer free 15 minute consultations to ensure our partnership feels comfortable and aligned. Your journey to healing and transformation begins with that initial step, and I am here, ready to support you along the way.

Many of the people who find their way to me are carrying far more than anyone around them realizes. You may be doing your best to hold everything together on the outside, while privately wrestling with anxiety, self-doubt, painful memories, or patterns you can’t seem to break, no matter how hard you try. If you’re tired of just coping and want support as you explore the possibility of more relief, clarity, or freedom in your life, you’re in the right place. In our work together, I show up as a real human being - grounded, steady, and warm. I’m not here to judge or pick you apart. I’m here to sit beside you, listen deeply, and help your nervous system do what it naturally knows how to do: heal, process, and release what’s been overwhelming. My style blends intuition with structure. I help clients slow down, stay present, and build stability from the inside out. My intention is to meet you where you are, offering collaboration and care, rather than detached analysis. I offer clarity, thoughtful reflection, and a gentle ability to notice what matters, even when it’s hard to put into words. Expect curiosity, compassion, and, when it’s helpful, honest insight that supports your growth. A core part of how I work is through eye movement desensitization and reprocessing (EMDR), an evidence-informed therapy used to support the brain in processing experiences that felt too big, or too fast, at the time they happened. We begin by building safety and resources, identify what feels stuck, and then use eye movement desensitization and reprocessing to work with the emotional weight you’ve been carrying. Many clients find themselves gaining insight, developing emotional regulation skills, and reconnecting with self-trust. Healing doesn't require pushing yourself harder, it’s about meeting yourself where you are, and finally letting go of what no longer belongs in your present. When you’re ready to take that journey, I’d be honoured to walk with you.
