My Approach to Helping
I am an experienced therapist of South Asian descent and I bring to the table the richness of three cultures, four languages, and the rare lens of being both a first- and third-generation immigrant. My lived experience—and the ways culture, society, and gender roles have shaped my own life—allows me to meet you with genuine understanding, whatever your background or story.
When you step into therapy with me, you will find a calm, safe, and judgment-free space where your voice matters most. I will listen closely, honour the wisdom you already carry, and collaboratively curate a plan that aligns with your goals and values. Whether you’re untangling anxiety, navigating life's challenges, or delving into your inner landscape to discover the various facets which shape who you are, we’ll walk that path together—blending evidence-based tools with heartfelt curiosity and compassion.
I have supported clients from many cultural, spiritual, and religious backgrounds, and I proudly stand as an ally to LGBTQIA+ and BIPOC communities. In my practice, I take a compassionate, client-centered, and culturally sensitive approach, weaving safety into each session so you can feel safe enough to explore, heal, and thrive.
Together, we will embark on a therapy journey in a warm, empathetic, and empowering space while recognizing that you are the expert of your own life. If my approach aligns with you and you are ready to begin your therapy journey, I'd be honoured to walk alongside you.
