I acknowledge and celebrate that you bring a rich tapestry of influences, experiences, and perspectives to the therapeutic process. Using an integrative, humanistic, and strength-based approach, I tailor a therapeutic approach that centers you as an individual. Your unique mental health needs are prioritized while also acknowledging and giving importance to the roles of your relationships and environments.
As a second-generation Punjabi-Canadian woman who’s existed in different spaces, I understand the push and pull we may often feel when it comes to our identity and concerns. Working through a culturally sensitive lens, I work to help you feel aligned to your personal values, needs, expectations, and goals. I want you to feel seen, heard, and equipped with tools and understanding so that you can live a healthier life - whatever that may mean for you.
Clients I mainly work with struggle with self-worth, anxiety, emotional abuse, intergenerational trauma, communication and boundaries, relationships, and identity.
My practice is trauma-informed and draws from a range of therapeutic modalities to provide comprehensive support. I specialize in mindfulness and somatic based therapy which fosters present-moment awareness and facilitates groundedness. This helps individuals effectively manage stress and emotions while promoting holistic well-being. Additionally, I integrate relational therapy, narrative therapy, and trauma-informed cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) which offers valuable tools for processing past experiences, identifying patterns that may be impacting you, exploring relational dynamics and personal narratives, and addressing trauma in a safe and compassionate environment.
