MY APPROACH

My approach to therapy is collaborative, warm, and grounded in meeting you where you are. I aim to create a space where you feel comfortable being open, reflecting honestly, and exploring what feels most important to you at your own pace. I often work with students, young professionals, and adults who are navigating demanding stages of life. Many are carrying stress, anxiety, self-doubt, or pressure while trying to meet expectations and manage everything on their own. I also support people who are exploring identity, values, cultural expectations, or major life transitions. I provide a balance of emotional support and practical guidance, and adapt our work to your needs so that therapy feels relevant, respectful, and genuinely supportive.

YOUR THERAPY EXPERIENCE

Clients can expect a calm, supportive, and collaborative space where feeling understood and safe is a priority. I believe you are the expert in your own life, and together we co-create goals that feel meaningful and realistic. I meet you where you are, adapting to your pace and needs throughout the process. While I can be flexible and more directive when helpful, I value maintaining structure, as it is evidence-based and supports clarity and progress. I often use CBT-informed approaches to help identify patterns, explore where certain beliefs or ways of coping may have developed, and create practical strategies that support meaningful change. I check in regularly to ensure our work feels helpful, while supporting steady, lasting growth.

MORE ABOUT ME

My path to becoming a therapist grew out of over a decade of working with children and youth, including my experience as an elementary school teacher. Witnessing how early experiences shape identity and well-being sparked a deep passion for this work and felt like a natural next step in my career. I was born and raised in Toronto to parents who immigrated from India, an experience that has meaningfully shaped both my upbringing and my approach to therapy. I believe that everyone longs for a sense of belonging, a “village,” and that being in community is essential to our well-being. In my work, I am guided by empathy, authenticity, and curiosity. Outside of therapy, I enjoy traveling, yoga and dance, spending time in nature, and writing.
