For as long as I can remember I have wanted to work in a profession where I was able to lend a helping hand to others. I stumbled upon the world of psychology accidentally while I was completing a counselling course as part of my undergraduate degree in Education. There was a strong feeling from within that told me I would one day love to be a psychologist and here I am.

A strong collaboration between myself, my client, supportive family members and other professionals is important to me. I call my office the “no judgment zone” where we are able to feel comfortable exploring various challenges and working towards finding viable solutions.

There is no cookie cutter or “one size fits all” approach when it comes to therapy. I work very much from a client-centred approach to understand the world as you see it. I draw from areas including Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Narrative Therapy, and Solution Focused Therapy. Part of therapy is us deciding together what approach will work best for you.

I remind my clients that they are the driver of our therapy vehicle. I might do some backseat driving every now and then- encouraging you to turn a certain way, but you are always in charge. If there is something you aren’t quite ready to explore, I will always take your lead. My goal as your therapist is to provide you with a comfortable space where you can open up at your pace.

A bit about me outside of the therapy office:

• In the summer, I love biking and playing tennis.
• In the winter, I love watching hockey. Go Oilers!
• Year round, I love spending time with my family, trying out new cafes around the city, travelling and watching shows like Friends over and over again.
• I am fluent in Hindi and Punjabi and maybe a bit of sarcasm (but that is mostly saved for outside of office hours).
