As a Registered Provisional Psychologist, I bring both lived experience and over a decade of work in social services into the therapy room. My approach is grounded in empathy, curiosity, and respect for the unique paths that shape each client’s story. I work collaboratively with clients—honouring that they are the experts of their own lives—while gently guiding them using evidence-based practices within a trauma-informed, culturally responsive framework.

My parents immigrated from India in the early 80s, and growing up in a bicultural environment shaped my deep appreciation for resilience, compassion, and the power of community. These values have guided my path into mental health and continue to inform my work today. Over the years, I’ve had the privilege...
