Over the last 17 years I've been on a journey to figure out what it means to be emotionally healthy. Despite all my education, which includes three Masters Degrees and a postgrad certificate in comedy writing and performing (I'm not sure why I did that one), I'm the first to say that life has been my greatest teacher... that and my wife. She has been very good at helping me see life from a more diverse perspective and to grow in my understanding of healthy conflict resolution, communication, and forgiving (aka be a better person). My goal is to live in a way that will inspire others to want to be healthier rather than to follow what my dad used to joke saying, "Do as I say; not as I do," which is not what you want in a therapist. My style is a mix of CBT, DBT, EFT, solution focused, and logic therapy with my main goal being to help others figure out what it means to be more emotionally healthy a lot quicker than my journey of 17 years.
The Thoughts is a unique innovation of my strong believe -
The root cause of every problem is in our thoughts and the solution to these problems is also hidden in our thoughts (by Satvinder K Khurme, MSW, RSW).
With over 20 years of experience, I am committed in assisting individuals, couples and families to resolve problems that affect their day-to-day lives within the context of their families, communities and workplaces.
Do you want to feel less stressed, less depressed and more in charge of your own life? Or maybe you want to process grief, trauma and feel peace again? I understand, life can be really difficult and throw us some curve balls when we least expect it. I am here as a professional and ally to walk through the hard times with you and be your guiding hand amongst all of the chaos.
