I didn’t become a therapist because I have all the answers. I became one because I know what it’s like to carry questions that have been too difficult to carry alone.

Growing up in India and later immigrating to Canada, I learned how easy it is to lose pieces of yourself while trying to fit into new places, meet family expectations, move through the oppressions of colonialism, or simply survive.

We can feel stuck in our struggles, caught in overthinking, burnout, imposter syndrome, low self-confidence, addiction, or the constant pull between work and the rest of our lives. But these aren’t simply problems to fix.

The stories of how our minds and bodies arrived at these ways of coping are often much deeper and more layered. If you’ve ever thought, “I should be grateful, so why am I struggling?” or “No one in my family talks about this,” or “I don’t even know who I am outside of taking care of everyone else,” you’re not alone.

So then who am I, and how can I support you?

I am a South Asian immigrant queer woman who found her way to this country about 8 years ago. I bring with me my own lived experience alongside my work with immigrants, South Asians, BIPOC and LGBTQ+ communities, caregivers, and people navigating trauma, anxiety, relationships, and substance use.

I carry a deep interest in working with men, particularly South Asian men, as they navigate the often unspoken pressures of masculinity, family expectations, cultural identity, and emotional vulnerability.

Working with me is about processing and being with how we show up in the world, not just fixing it. I believe healing doesn’t mean becoming someone new. It means finding your way back to the parts of you that have always deserved to be seen.

I hope our work together feels like a space where you don’t have to explain your culture, justify your feelings, or carry everything on your own. You deserve a place where all parts of you are welcome, someone who just Gets It!

My approach and background

I’ve been working in psychotherapy for the past 4 years. My approach blends Expressive Arts Therapy, IFS, somatic therapy, EFT, and mindfulness, helping you understand your story, not just your symptoms.
