I’ve always been passionate about fostering genuine connections and supporting others in their personal growth.
Growing up in Bright’s Grove, I developed a deep appreciation for community and its impact on mental well-being. My path to psychotherapy, though not a straight line, began after I earned my Bachelor of Arts in Communication Studies and English from Wilfrid Laurier University in 2017, followed by a Master of Media in Journalism and Communication from Western University in 2018. After several years in marketing and communications, I realized something was missing. It was through my relationship with my own therapist that I discovered my true calling in psychotherapy. I’m currently completing my Master of Arts in Counselling Psychology from Yorkville University and am a Registered Psychotherapist (Qualifying) with the College of Registered Psychotherapists of Ontario.
My therapeutic approach is rooted in the belief that everyone’s story is important. I strive to create a compassionate and collaborative space where clients feel truly heard and supported as they navigate life’s challenges. I take a strengths-based, person-centered, and trauma-informed approach, incorporating elements of narrative therapy, acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT), somatic therapies, and cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT). I recognize that therapy isn’t “one-size-fits-all,” so I tailor my approach to each client’s unique needs.
I work with clients on a variety of concerns, including anxiety, life transitions, relationship dynamics, self-esteem, and stress management. My goal is to empower individuals to connect with their inner resilience, facilitating meaningful change and building long-term therapeutic relationships that can support them through various life stages.
Outside of my work at Inner Calm, I enjoy spending time with my dog, practicing yoga, reading, and engaging in outdoor mindfulness practices, all of which help me stay grounded and connected to my own self-awareness journey.
I look forward to walking alongside you as you explore your path toward healing and growth.

I like to think of myself as a "counselling chameleon." I don’t believe in one-size-fits-all solutions. Everyone’s journey is unique, so I tailor my approach to what works best for you. Whether it's CBT, Solution-Focused Therapy, mindfulness, or Person-Centered Therapy, I draw from a variety of tools to create a space where you feel heard, supported, and empowered to move forward at your own pace.
No matter what you’re going through—whether it’s anxiety, relationship challenges, or simply feeling "stuck"—I am here to help you tap into your inner strengths, build resilience, and navigate life’s hurdles. You have the potential for transformation within you, and I’m here to help you unlock it.
Let’s work together to build a life that aligns with who you truly are, a life that brings you peace, fulfillment, and confidence!

Has it become harder to get excited about things you used to enjoy?
Do you sometimes wonder, “Is this really where I’m supposed to be?” or feel uncertain about the road ahead?
If any of this sounds familiar, I want you to know you’re not alone. Life has a way of throwing us curveballs, and it’s completely okay to feel uncertain or stuck at times.
The good news? You don’t have to go through it alone. It takes strength to reach out for support, and I’m here to offer you a space where you can share your thoughts, feel heard, tell your story without judgment, and work together toward clarity and growth.
With a bachelor’s in Psychology, a Post-Graduate Specialization in Counselling and Autism & Behavioral Science, and a Master’s in Counselling Psychology currently in progress at Yorkville University, I’ve gained a deep understanding of human behavior. My learning journey is ongoing, and I’m passionate about continually expanding my knowledge to better support you.
With 7 years of experience in Canada, working with children, young adults, and families from diverse backgrounds, I’ve had the privilege of supporting individuals through a wide range of challenges. My background in behavior support, developmental counseling, and educational roles has given me practical experience in addressing emotional and behavioral concerns. As someone from a South Asian background, I bring a unique perspective to therapy, deeply appreciating the role that cultural identity plays in mental health. This perspective allows me to create culturally sensitive, welcoming spaces where you feel truly seen and understood.
