Are you feeling overwhelmed, emotionally stuck, or struggling with ongoing stress? I am a registered psychotherapist, and I provide trauma-informed, client-centered and supportive space to explore what is getting in the way of your well-being. I offers a space where you can slow down, speak freely, and make sense of what you’re experiencing without judgment or pressure to have it all figured out. My work is focused on helping you better understand your experiences and develop effective coping strategies.
Together, me and my clients, look at patterns—how past experiences shape present reactions—and gently work toward change that feels safe and sustainable.

Treatment Approach
- Biopsychosocial Therapy Takes into account biological, psychological, and social factors in understanding mental health. It looks at the whole person, not just symptoms.
- Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) One of the most widely used approaches, CBT helps people identify unhelpful thoughts and replace them with healthier patterns. It is effective for anxiety, depression, and many other concerns.
- Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT) Focuses on strengthening emotional bonds in couples or families. It helps people identify negative cycles and create more secure connections.
- Existential / Humanistic Therapy Encourages people to explore meaning, freedom, and authenticity in their lives. It focuses on personal growth and living in alignment with one’s values.
- Mindfulness-Based Cognitive Therapy (MBCT) Combines mindfulness practices with CBT to prevent depression relapse. It helps people notice thoughts without judgment and respond more calmly.
- Psychoeducational Therapy Provides education and coping tools about mental health conditions. It empowers clients with knowledge and practical skills.
- Self Psychology Explores the development of self-esteem and identity. It emphasizes the importance of empathy in healing.

I believe that psychotherapy is the best self-care. Therapy helps us to explore our experiences, identify and understand the feelings, enables us to accept, and honor our story, and make peace with it. Our connections with parents and caregivers while growing up, the experience of threat or conflict, and learnt coping mechanisms continue to impact our relations, experiences, achievements much later in life.
I invite my clients to share their story at the pace that suits them, and as much as is comfortable to move towards the goals they have set up for therapy.
My practice uses an integrative approach, including CBT, Emotionally focused therapy, trauma-informed, Safe and Sound protocol, and Mindful based therapy. I use a feedback based stance to progress towards your goals for therapy.
