You are not ‘too much.’ You’ve just been in spaces that could not meet you.
You may find yourself stuck in patterns of rumination, emotionally drained, or repeating experiences you do not fully understand. Part of you wants things to change, but another part feels overwhelmed, shut down, or unsure where to begin. Therapy can help you make sense of these patterns by not just managing them, but understanding where they come from and how to shift them.
I work with individuals and couples navigating anxiety, depression, grief, trauma, relationship challenges, life transitions and more. I do not believe in one-size-fits-all therapy. Together, we explore both the roots of your experiences and how they show up in your present life. This may include understanding past relationships, exploring emotional patterns, and developing practical ways to move forward.
I also recognize how culture, family expectations, and unspoken dynamics can shape your experiences. For many, this can lead to feeling misunderstood, pressured, or disconnected from their own needs. Therapy can be a space to unpack this and reconnect with yourself in a more grounded and intentional way.
I hold a Master of Arts in Counselling, Spirituality & Psychotherapy (Individual, Couples and Family Counselling stream) and an Honours Bachelor of Health Sciences with a minor in Psychology. I offer therapy in English, Hindi, and Urdu.
Reaching out can feel difficult, especially if you are used to handling things on your own. My goal is to provide a space where you can explore your experiences with clarity and without judgment, and begin moving toward meaningful change.
Please contact me to begin. I offer a free 15 minute consultation and currently see clients virtually.
