As you are contemplating therapy, I recognize that it can sometimes feel overwhelming or even carry a sense of shame. My goal is to ease any concerns you may have by creating a supportive and culturally sensitive space where you feel safe and respected. In our sessions, I strive to build a warm and welcoming environment that allows you to show up authentically as yourself and work toward your therapeutic goals at your own pace.

I work with children, adolescents and adults who are experiencing anxiety, depression, self-criticism, family or relationship conflict, identity struggles, and academic or career transitions.

I have a particular interest in supporting clients from diverse cultural backgrounds. As a South Asian woman, I understand the complexities of balancing cultural expectations, family roles, and personal identity. Together, we would build a partnership where you can reflect on your individual experiences and cultural values, finding balance between the two.

My approach is client-centered, emphasizing compassion, empathy, and authenticity. I believe that a strong therapeutic relationship is built on trust, respect, and understanding.

Your life experiences are valid and important, and you deserve to feel safe, heard, and valued in this space. I strive to create a warm, collaborative environment where you can explore, grow, and heal at your own pace.

Ever since I can recall, I’ve been intrigued by the complexity of the human mind. My journey in psychology began as an undergraduate, where I delved into the foundational theories and the more I learned, the more I realized that psychology is not just a subject; it’s a lens where we can understand ourselves and others. I believe that every individual’s unique, and there is no one-size-fits-all solution to psychological well-being. My approach is deeply personalized, focusing on your specific needs, goals, and strengths. I work collaboratively with you to develop a tailored treatment plan that aligns with your values and aspirations.

Finding the right therapist can also often be a lengthy and challenging process, and I believe that a good therapist starts with a good trusting relationship which is what I can provide for you. I gravitate to issues including complex trauma, anxiety, depression, personality disorders, attachment, relationship dynamics and perinatal mental health.

I am so proud to be apart of the mental health community where I can help bridge the gap with community members. I have been in the mental health field for a decade, where I have worked in many capacities such as being a crisis worker and working at an outpatient mental health clinic for children and adults within the public & private health sector. I am a Registered Psychologist (#5691) and I am affiliated with the College of Alberta Psychologists and offer in-person, virtual and phone support anywhere in Alberta. In addition, I offer virtual support to those living in Nunavut and in Nova Scotia.
