*Accepting New Clients* A warm and heartfelt welcome! If you are reading my profile, you are likely curious about how I can best support you on your journey, and it is an honour to be part of that process. Our lives can become riddled with obstacles, leaving us feeling lost, out of control or even in chaos. In our sessions together, I strive to create a safe and welcoming space that fosters hope, a sense of meaning, inner healing and empowerment as we navigate stressful and painful experiences, rooted in your past, present or future. I work with individuals and couples and offer a free 15-minute consultation to ensure you feel we are a good fit. In our work together, you can expect an integrative approach, drawing from several therapeutic modalities, tailored to your specific goals and needs. I draw from modalities such as cognitive-behavioural therapy (CBT), psychodynamic therapy, emotion-focused therapy (EFT), existential therapy, and Imago therapy, among others. I will work with you to explore your emotions, thoughts, and behavior patterns, while addressing deeper relational and emotional dynamics. My goal is to create a non-judgemental and compassionate space to explore your experiences, gain insight, and take steps towards personal growth and healing. I want you to feel both empowered and supported as you navigate life’s challenges. As a South Asian Canadian, witnessing the stigma facing mental health in the BIPOC community, and the shocking underrepresentation of the BIPOC community in research for mental health was one of the reasons I was drawn to becoming a psychotherapist. I believe in leading with a culturally-sensitive lens to accommodate for the increasingly multicultural community seeking support for mental health. I can offer sessions in English, Hindi and Urdu. At Psychotherapy Collective, our online clinic, we strive to help clients live a life aligned with their values. Visit our website, call me, or email me to schedule a free consultation. I am here to support you on your journey.
