My passion for therapy is deeply rooted in the belief that each individual's story is unique and deserving of compassionate understanding. Whether you are going through a difficult season in your life, going through life transitions, or just feeling stuck, I am here to help you understand it better and dive into it with you. a passionate advocate for therapy, I believe that self-awareness is the key that unlocks the door to profound change. I can help you gain deeper understanding of yourself, help you rewrite narratives that may have held you captive, and empower you to embrace your authentic selves.
Throughout my journey as a mental health professional, I have strived to provide empathic care with unwavering commitment. I have a bachelor’s and master’s degree in psychology from the University of Delhi in India. After working in community clinics over the next few years, I realized that I wanted to understand more deeply about the unconscious processes that often shape our thoughts, feelings, behaviours and relationships. I attained a second master’s degree at Ambedkar University in India with focus on the psychodynamic approach to therapy. After seven years of experience in working in a range of settings, from private practice to shelter homes and community clinics, I decided to move to Ontario. Here, I have upgraded my skills by attaining various certifications and courses like suicide prevention training and mental health practice in Ontario. I am a member of the Ontario association of mental health professionals. Having understood mental health practice in two different countries, it allows me to connect authentically with individuals from diverse cultural backgrounds. I speak fluent English, Hindi and Punjabi and conversant Urdu.
My approach to therapy is rooted in the belief that every individual's journey is unique and deserving of personalized support. Guided by this principle, I combine cognitive behavioural, client- centered, psychodynamic and attachment-based approaches in my work. I work from a systemic, trauma-informed, queer-affirmative and culturally-sensitive lens that creates a safe and nurturing space where healing can flourish.
Performance interests: I have been a regional level badminton player. I enjoy table tennis, squash and watching tennis. I am also a trained dancer. My other interests are painting and interior decorating. Little known fact about me is that I want to create a career on the side in interior decoration.
