I have always been drawn to the intricacies of human relationships and how people live their lives. My quiet, curious, and reflective nature drew me to this work which is dynamic, impact-driven, and a perfect blend of creativity and analysis.

I love building trusting, collaborative, and caring relationships with my clients which (hopefully) become a catalyst for the change they seek in their lives. I draw a lot of hope and joy from how my clients show up with courage for their inner work. I feel immensely grateful to be a part of their journey.

I hope that they feel seen, understood, and somewhat held in their experience. I hope our session makes them hopeful/curious that things don’t have to be a certain way, that the change they seek is possible, and that we may discover some possibilities in our work together that they might have not previously considered.

I know from experience how much vulnerability and courage are required in reaching out to a therapist. Whatever you’re seeking from therapy is possible to find, and it might even exceed your expectations. While I do not know what the journey will look like for you, I know with certainty that once you commit to the work with a good enough therapist, it will be a transformative experience for you.

I wish to build a space where the client feels comfortable to share about what is going on in their lives. A space that offers ease, gentleness, and compassion in their healing journeys.

My clients are my greatest mirror. I learn from them to trust in the process and believe in the inherent goodness and worthiness that we all share. They affirm my faith that our hopes and dreams are possible and worth persevering.

My ability to hold nuance, relationality, and compassion are my greatest strengths as a counsellor. I strive towards the highest degree of integrity, accountability, and competence in my work.

I like to read, watch TV, listen to music, socialize with my friends, and explore my city. My myriad of interests keep me engaged. I am also big on sleep, so you will find me napping quite often!

My approach to therapy is eclectic, trauma-informed, and rights-based. It means that I integrate my training in various therapeutic modalities so that I am effectively able to address the unique needs of my clients. Working with me often looks like a combination of reflection, skill-building, and strengthening the mind-body connection in a safe, trusting, collaborative relationship. I value understanding a person within their social context - factors like gender, sexuality, caste, socioeconomic status, etc. are recognized and examined to understand their effect on a client’s mental health.

I adopt an affirmative and anti-oppressive stance in my practice. My intake form asks affirming questions like pronouns, gender sexual identity, etc. so that clients know that it is a safe space for them to talk about it.

I understand the unique psychosocial stressors of the queer community and utilize them as a reference point in my work. I learn from the lived experiences of people and engage in reflection and continuing education. I curate resources, amplify perspectives of the queer community, and create psychoeducational resources as affirmative action.
