You are the expert of your own experiences. Which means that, during our time with one another, we will collaboratively learn and unlearn together. Your autonomy is important, and I hope to empower you to make decisions that align with your values.
I celebrate and welcome your individuality. I believe that we are all impacted by individual, community and systemic factors that are unique to each person I encounter in my therapeutic space.
My goal is to walk alongside you, offering insights, tools, and resources as we navigate a path forward. I aim to create a secure and trusting therapeutic relationship where you can comfortably explore and commit to finding yourself, nurture healthy relationships, and create meaningful life experiences.

Education and background
|
I completed a Bachelor of Health Sciences Degree in Health and Society with a concentration in Psychology at the University of Calgary. Throughout my educational career, I was continually involved in research which I believe enriched my experience and allowed me to work with diverse and marginalized populations.
I grew up in an intergenerational home and am a second-generation South Asian Canadian immigrant. Mental health was taboo in my culture, which fueled my desire to normalize therapy. My public health background, research, and own lived experience led me to pursue a Master of Education in Counselling Psychology. |
Leaning into my own lived experience, my master's research focused on the guilt associated with having experiences that your loved ones do not have access to- a concept known as family achievement guilt. I believe that this is one of the many unique human experiences that second-generation Canadians have not been taught how to navigate.
Often, it feels like we are alone in our struggles. I am passionate about helping you feel as though this is not the case. Whether it be challenges unique to your culture, feeling lost in your identity, feeling worried you don't measure up, or any human experience in between, you are not alone. |
