Expertise

I am a Registered Social Worker with the Ontario College of Social Workers and a Social Service Worker of Ontario (OCSWSSW) practising psychotherapy. I have nearly four years of experience working in community settings with children and families in India. In Canada, I have worked on supporting vulnerable populations, including adults facing homelessness and substance use issues, trauma, and grief, as well as youth with complex mental health challenges.

As a dedicated social worker with over 12 years of experience, pursuing therapy over the past few years has been a calling, part of my professional exploration of myself. I focus on providing therapy tailored to each individual's unique needs. My practice focuses on a variety of concerns, including:

  • Trauma Recovery
  • Anxiety and Depression Management
  • Building Self-Esteem
  • Emotional Regulation
  • Relationship Challenges

Everyone faces challenges in their own way, but therapy can offer a different perspective. I believe healing begins when your experiences are validated, and you feel safe, heard, and supported—without judgment.

Frequently Asked Questions

I specialize in providing support for anxiety, depression, trauma, and emotional regulation. I aim to improve self-esteem, manage stress, and assist with life transitions and grief. Additionally, they address relationship issues and promote self-compassion, resilience, and practical coping skills through mindfulness-based approaches.

I am mindful of the power imbalance that can occur between a therapist and a client. I don't function from the presumption of ‘I know it all’. I strive to work as a team with my client, where the client defines the goals, and I support them with an evidence-based approach and my experience to empower them to achieve them.

Free virtual consultations are available for you to meet with me, ask any questions you might have and see if I'm a good fit for you.
