About Us

I have 9 years of clinical experience, post Masters, in substance misuse (as well as process dependencies such as shopping, eating disorders, sexual activity), anxiety and depression, anger, grief and loss, psychiatric concerns, relationship, parenting and cross-cultural concerns, and have been in the field for a total of 14 years. I tend to utilize a holistic approach, drawing from a number of therapeutic approaches such as cognitive behavioural, solution-focused, existential, narrative and emotion-focused. I believe that each client is unique and deserves tailor made synergy.

I wish to express my gratitude for being granted access into the depths of one’s soul. In a collaborative search for peace, I hope to create a safe and comfortable environment for all those I connect with. I hope that in our time spent together we are able to mitigate, what we perceive as stress, if only for a moment. I do so by advocating mindfulness, self-development and actualization practices. My hope is to work side by side with my fellow human beings while supporting them during difficult times. I look forward to our paths crossing. 

Kindly note that I conduct therapy utilizing the telehealth modality. This means that I am able to connect with clientele all over British Columbia, Canada virtually: video, telephone or e-mail (encrypted). I have served clients throughout BC and I have worked in many cities such as Vancouver, Burnaby, Surrey, Langley, Abbotsford and Chilliwack. Further, I am familiar with the resources throughout the Lower Mainland.

I have worked seven years as a Child and Youth Care Counsellor with the Surrey School District and two years as a Child and Family Therapist with Vancouver Coastal Health. I work with children, adolescents, parents and families. I specialize in ADHD, selective mutism, depression, anxiety, parenting, OCD, attachment, anger management, grief and loss, and suicide. I utilize the following modalities: Emotion Focused Family Therapy, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, Psychodynamic and Solution-focused Therapy.

I believe the key to a therapeutic alliance/relationship is to provide a setting where one feels comfortable sharing their intimate thoughts, beliefs and emotions in a safe, open and non-judgemental environment.

Please note that I work virtually (telephone and video) and in-person (Office: Surrey, BC).

I has a plethora of experience with ten years working in the field of counselling and mental health. I have been fortunate enough to have the opportunity to connect and join in the journey of a number of individuals, couples and families. No journey is the same as you will bring your own perspective and experience to our sessions. My role as a clinical counsellor is to provide you a safe environment and be a passenger on your counselling journey.

Working through a client-centered approach, we will work together in getting you to achieve the goals that you have set forth for yourself.

I am available virtually (telephone and video) and in-person.

With over 12 years of experience in mental health counselling, I am a Registered Social Worker dedicated to empowering individuals on their path to well-being. My career in Canada began in Toronto, where I worked extensively with a diverse clientele, including immigrants and refugees, gaining valuable insights into the unique challenges faced by various communities. In mid-2022, I relocated to British Columbia, driven by a desire to embrace new challenges and opportunities for professional growth. This move has allowed me to deepen my self-awareness and expand my skill set, furthering my commitment to helping clients navigate complex life pathways with confidence and resilience.

Areas of practice: Autism, psychosis, depression, substance use, couples, families, and youth (14+).

My approach to therapy is deeply rooted in empathy, non-judgment, and
acceptance. I am trained in Advanced Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) for
complex mental health disorders from the University of Toronto. This advanced
training has enabled me to assist clients in identifying and challenging negative
thought patterns, exploring how thoughts impact emotions and behaviors, and
restructuring distorted beliefs. My therapeutic process is collaborative, emphasizing genuine dialogue to support each client’s unique healing journey.
In addition to CBT, I incorporate various therapeutic modalities into my practice, including Brief Solution-Focused Therapy, mindfulness approaches, trauma-informed care, and Motivational Interviewing. These techniques allow me to offer a versatile and tailored approach to meet the diverse needs of my clients.

Beyond my professional life, I am a spiritual individual who finds relaxation and
renewal through yoga, meditation, long drives, and spending time in nature. Driven by my belief in a holistic approach to wellness, I am committed to promote long term wellness and healing of my clients by integrating physical, emotional, and spiritual well-being. I understand that each person’s journey to recovery is unique, and I strive to provide a personalized approach that aligns with each individual’s specific needs and goals. If you are seeking a compassionate and experienced counselor to support your mental health journey, I would be honored to work with you.

As an experienced and versatile counsellor, I specialize in providing support and guidance to a diverse population encompassing child (5+), youth and adults. I hold a Master of Science in Counselling and Family Therapy (RCC and CFT).

My areas of expertise are ADHD, anger management, anxiety, behavioural issues, depression, grief, internet/screen addiction, learning disability, play therapy, life coaching, and parenting.

I have specific specialization as a life skills trainer, brain trainer (brain storming and brain gaming).

Further, I am able to conduct therapy in English, Punjabi, and Hindi.
